We all have days when we do not want a full face of makeup especially during hot weather. On Wednesday, I had a rare morning off and I wanted a simple natural look. This is what I used to create this very natural and healthy look:
The perfect no-makeup makeup look starts with skincare.
I will run you through my full skincare routine in a seperate article but the basics were all there, I cleansed, toned, serumed and moisturised.
-
SPF – I wear SPF every single day of the year. I will go up and down in terms of the level of protection depending on the weather and the season. On Wednesday, I used the ULTRASUN TAN ACTIVATOR FOR FACE SPF30.
-
CC Cream – I used the IT Cosmetics color correcting cream, it is called, Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream with SPF 50+. It gives coverage, it is anti-aging hydrating serum and it has an SPF 50+ UVA/UVB broad spectrum sunscreen. I wear the medium shade.
-
Concealer – I used the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer in the light shade. I only used it under the eye however it can also be applied anywhere on the face where coverage is needed.
- Powder If Required – I did not set anything with powder as I didn’t need to. Although my skin is normal/combination, it has become more normal due to pregnancy. If your skin type is combination or oily then it is best to set with a very light setting powder but only where you need it.
-
Eyelids – BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Spotlight Wand in Opal (golden opal pearl) – I used this on my eyelids to make my eyes look more awake. It can also be used as a highlighter along the top of the cheekbone.
-
Lashes – L’Oreal False Lash Wings Mascara – I love the brush on this mascara. I used one coat on my upper and lower lashes which is just enough to give a very natural combed through look.
-
Blusher – Benefit Cosmetics GALifornia – this is a golden pink blush. I used just a little but you can use more depending on your skin tone.
-
Lips – DIOR Lip Glow in 001 pink which is my favourite flush of custom pink.
- Brows – Mally Ultimate Performance Dream Brow with Brush in Medium Brown.
And I am done and ready to take on whatever the day will bring!
