In today's modern era, makeup is no longer just a means to hide facial blemishes, but it has also become a great way to fill yourself with confidence and enhance your natural beauty. Whenever we get ready for a party, office or a casual outing, the first thought that comes to our mind is that our look should not be too heavy or loud, but should look very subtle, fresh and natural. Often when people do make-up, they use more products than required, due to which the face looks plastic or patchy and from a distance it becomes clear that tons of cosmetics have been applied on the face. On the contrary, in today's modern generation, 'no-makeup makeup look' i.e. such makeup which has been done and makes the viewer feel that your skin is naturally so flawless and glowing, has become the most trend. There is no need of a professional makeup artist to carry such a look, but if you know the right technique and the right steps, then you can do this miracle in a jiffy while sitting at home. In this magical and very easy method of makeup, each step has its own importance, which if followed in the right order and in the right quantity, enhances your beauty. Without any delay, let us know in detail what and how you should do at each step to achieve the 'no-makeup makeup look' in a perfect manner so that people do not get tired of praising your natural skin. Importance of proper skin prep and hydration: The building of any beautiful makeup rests on a strong foundation, and in the world of makeup, that strong foundation is considered to be 'skin prep' i.e. proper preparation of the skin. If your skin is not hydrated and nourished from within, then no matter how expensive foundation or concealer you apply, it will start looking dry or patchy after some time. The first and most important rule of no-makeup makeup look is that you should wash your face thoroughly with a mild and sulphate-free cleanser to remove all the dust and extra oil of the day. After cleansing the face, comes the turn of toning and moisturization, for which you should apply a lightweight gel-based or cream-based moisturizer according to your skin type. After applying moisturizer, do not forget to apply a good sunscreen on the face so that your skin can be protected from the harmful rays of the sun. When your skin is moisturized and plump from within, whatever product is applied on it blends with the skin in such a way that nothing else seems imposed. This is the secret step that brings a natural and dewy glow on your face, which makes your skin look healthy from within. Say goodbye to foundation and use lightweight skin tint or BB cream. Foundations with heavy base and thick coverage are considered the biggest enemies of the 'no-makeup look', because they create a clear layer on the face which becomes visible from a distance. If you really want a look that no one will know you've applied anything on, you'll have to get rid of those heavy boxes of foundation from your vanity. Instead of foundation, you can choose a good quality BB cream, CC cream or a lightweight liquid skin tint. Skin tint or BB cream blends the light dark circles, redness and uneven complexion of your face very beautifully, and no one even realizes that you have applied any base product on the face. To apply it, use your fingertips or a damp beauty blender so that the product spreads evenly on the face and penetrates deep into the skin. If the marks of dark spots or pimples on your face are very deep, then instead of applying foundation on the entire face, apply a little concealer only on those specific places and tap it with your finger. With this smart trick, your face will look absolutely clean, spotless and natural and no one will even have a clue that you have applied any base makeup. Cream blush to get a natural flush and the art of giving dimension to the face. The face appears dull and dull if the cheeks do not have a pink or peachy natural tint, and for this blush is considered the most important tool. In a no-makeup look, one should always use 'cream blush' or liquid tint instead of powder blush because cream products merge with the skin very naturally. Apply a small amount of pink or peach colored liquid tint on the apples of your cheeks and gently blend it upwards towards the ears with the help of your fingers. By applying blush in this way, it appears that your cheeks are looking naturally pink and blooming due to the sunlight. Along with this, you can use no-makeup contouring or warmer very lightly to define the face a little, but there is no harm even if you leave it completely. Another secret to this look is to apply a little liquid highlighter on the cheekbones and the tip of the nose, which provides a subtle and shiny glow when the sun hits it. Remember that the amount of blush and highlighter should always be minimal so that it looks less like makeup and more like your natural healthy skin. Giving subtle look to eyes and eyebrows and magic without loud mascara. Eyes are the most attractive part of our face and proper finishing of eyes in makeup changes the entire look. Dark black smokey eyes or thick eyeliner wings should never be used in a no-makeup look as they look too dramatic and loud. To make your eyes look bigger and fresh, first of all set your eyebrows with the help of an eyebrow pencil or spoolie, so that they look full and naturally lifted. If your eyebrows are light, fill in the gaps with a brown pencil very gently so that it does not look artificial. After this, apply a single coat of clear mascara or very lightweight black mascara to enhance the eyelashes, which will make the eyelashes look curved and long. If you want, you can use white or nude kajal pencil on the waterline of your eyes, which makes the eyes appear bigger and more bright. Avoid applying dark black heavy kajal or thick liner on the eyelids, as it will instantly turn your no-makeup look into heavy party makeup, which takes away the natural charm. Give a perfect nude touch to the lips and the last step to set the entire look. The last and most important step in this entire natural and subtle makeup journey is to decorate your lips and lock the entire makeup. Dark red, maroon or dark purple lipstick should never be used in a no-makeup look as they give too bold and loud an impression. Instead, you should always choose lipstick or tinted lip balm of nude, pinkish nude or peachy nude shades matching your skin tone. If you want, you can also apply a little lip oil or nude lip gloss on your lips, which will make your lips look naturally plump, hydrated and juicy. To make your makeup last longer, after applying lipstick, sprinkle a good setting spray or fixing mist on the face, which will set all the products together. Spraying the fixing mist removes all the extra powdery or harsh look on the face and gives a very natural, fresh and dewy finishing which does not budge throughout the day. By following these easy and smart steps, when you step out of the house, people will be amazed by your beauty and no one will even know that you have applied any makeup.
