Because we being makeup enthusiasts are not ready to step out without makeup.

We always want to look glammed up but with a natural makeup look as compared to red carpet glam. Here, the no-makeup makeup look trend comes into play. This trendy look looks stunning on everybody and is not at all difficult to pull off. It won’t even feel like you’re having any makeup on. Isn’t it amazing? And you know what the best part is? You don’t need any makeup expert to achieve this look.

With just minimal makeup and pro techniques, you can easily achieve this look by just enhancing your natural features. While the results are pretty minimal, it also requires hard work but trust me it’s worth it! So, now let’s learn how to nail this “I woke up like this” look in just 5 minutes from scratch. Let’s go!

1. Skin Preparation!

When it comes to natural makeup, it is important to prepare your skin by exfoliating dead skin with a gentle exfoliant. It gives smoothing and brightening complexion. For a bang on no makeup makeup look, exfoliate your face first with a suitable exfoliant.

2. Moisturize your face!

You know what is the key to flawless complexion? It all lies on how you prep your skin before any makeup look. So, always cleanse your face, apply serums and then gently moisturize your face to maintain a natural glow. Also don’t forget to apply Eye Cream. Don’t miss this step even if you have oily skin!

3. Conceal blemishes

Conceal any blemishes or dark spots with the help of small flat brush. Conceal your dark circles by patting concealer in with your finger. Finish with a bright dusting of a suitable translucent setting powder in your T-zone. Now that you have set the stage for the rest of your makeup, you’re now ready to go with color!

4. Use Cream eyeshadow

To create bright, wide-awake eyes, begin with a natural cream eyeshadow as close as possible to your skin tone. You can choose shimmery cream eyeshadow or not, depending on your choice. Blend the shadow up from your lash line, disappearing as it gets closer to your eyebrows. Creamy products are great for this look as they tend to wear more naturally, and above that their application is very easy and quick.

5. Highlight

With a delicate, light-catching highlighter highlight the high points on your face like along the top of cheekbones and brow bones. Highlighter flatters your face, giving a reflective finish for smiling, glowing complexion. Want to know the secret of bright, wide-awake eyes? You can do that by just applying a bit of highlighter in the inner corners of your eye.

Popping a slightly shimmery shadow or highlighter on tear duct and then blending it towards the center of lid will make you active even faster than a shot of coffee (at least on the outside).

6. Style your brows and lashes

With the help of a spoolie brush, brush your brows up and away from the face before filling them with any eyebrow product. For best results, choose any clear brow gel or you can simply use eyebrow mascara to keep the look super natural.

This will make your eyebrows look naturally fuller and heavy. For good lashes, an eyelash curler would be the best choice. For mascara, add atleast 10 coats to the top lashes only. This would give surprising volume to your lashes.

7. Use Cream blush!

Makeup experts suggest using a cream blush instead of powder to achieve a natural glow. It can be easily applied with fingers. Apply your cream blush, to the apple of your cheeks in a sweeping upward motion. For more glowing look, add a little blush to the tip of your nose and chin too.

8. Swipe on a lip tint!

The last step in your no makeup look is to add a little tint of a rosy, natural shade to your lips. Lip tint is the most gorgeous and natural way of achieving a natural glow. A tinted lip stain requires very less effort than your average lipstick and beautifully brings color to the face. So why not set the bar higher with sheer, shiny lips?

9. Add definition

No makeup, makeup look doesn’t mean you can’t contour your facial features. But the point is not to make it look too harsh. For a natural look, contour with one to two shades darker than your skin tone.

Apply bronzer with a fluffy brush and apply into the hollows of your cheeks, outer edge of jawline, forehead and down the sides of your nose. Blend for more natural and sun-kissed look. You can also use cream contour products for sleeker look.

10. Set your look

Even If you are wearing no makeup, makeup look, you would never want your skillfully created natural look to budge the whole day. Squirt some drops of finishing spray on your face and set your makeup.
