What Is A Natural Makeup Look?

Before we get into showing you exactly how to create a natural makeup look for yourself, let’s clarify what exactly a natural makeup look is. Natural makeup looks are all about enhancing your features without making it look too obvious that you are wearing makeup. The goal is to emphasise your natural beauty rather than covering it up. This look is all about minimalistic use of makeup products to achieve a natural look. This look focuses on skin majorly with just a hint of blushing colour on the cheeks and lips.

How To Create A Natural Makeup Look

Creating a natural makeup look is simpler than you might think. You’ll only need a few key products, a steady hand, and some practice. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started on your journey to achieving a natural makeup look.

1. Use A Cleanser

The first step in any natural makeup look routine is to clean your skin of dirt and impurities. Cleansing is the first step of both any skincare routine and makeup routine. Cleansing your face gets rid of dirt, excess oil, and unclogs pores. Opt for a gentle, nature-infused face cleanser to maintain your skin’s pH and also keep your skin fresh and hydrated. 

Youthful Glow Face Wash: Saffron & Oat Milk

Make your skin glow with this nature-infused face wash. It is enriched with saffron and oat milk to nourish the skin and bring on your natural radiance. The formula has a grainy gel texture which is great for gently exfoliating the skin too. It also never leaves the skin feeling dry but rather makes your skin feel dewy, fresh, and hydrated. This makes it a perfect addition to your winter makeup arsenal.

Deep clean your skin and make it super soft and supple with this amazing face wash. Enriched with superfoods like cacao, strawberry, mulberry, and black currant, this face wash nourishes the skin and makes it look brighter.

2. Apply Moisturiser

Always moisturise after cleansing, no matter your skin type. Moisturising will improve your skin texture naturally and that’s why it works well even under makeup. If you have oily skin, pick a gel-based moisturiser and if you have dry skin, pick a richer cream moisturiser.

Anti-Pigmentation Face Cream: Kakadu Plum, Acai Berry & Almonds

This amazing face cream delivers the benefits of almonds for skin with every use. The richly nourishing cream also promises to brighten skin as that is one of the biggest benefits of vitamin C for skin which happens to be another hero ingredient in this cream. The skincare product is certified organic and is perfect for a natural glow.

This lightweight moisturiser has a gel formula that feels so refreshing. Infused with amla and aloe vera juice, it is great for all skin types and is especially amazing for oily skin types. The luxurious moisturiser does not leave any sticky residue on the skin.

3. Prep With A Primer

After applying skincare products and before beginning to apply any kind of makeup products, make sure to apply a makeup primer. You can even use a BB cream that has skin priming benefits under makeup for a more even-toned coverage that looks good for natural makeup looks. If you want a more matte skin effect, opt for a matte makeup primer, and if you want a dewy makeup look, go in for an illuminating makeup primer.

Organic Harvest Weightless BB Cream

This BB cream literally improves skin texture naturally thanks to its skincare-infused formula. It also delivers the benefits of castor oil for skin while being super lightweight and mattifying. The tinted formula evens out the skin tone and also doubles as a mattifying tinted makeup primer.

If you want a super glowy base, try this illuminating primer. It gives the skin the most gorgeous glow without looking greasy and it is also extremely lightweight and non-comedogenic. It blurs out pores and is also sweat-proof and water-resistant.

4. Blend In Foundation

After primer, it is time to apply foundation. Choose a non-comedogenic foundation so that it does not clog your pores and also try a skincare-infused formula as foundation. Makeup with skincare products are a delight to use. Low to medium coverage works great for natural makeup looks too so apply a thin layer and blend well. You can even opt for compact powder foundations as they are super lightweight and perfect for natural makeup looks.

This is a must-have makeup product that will save you lots of time and money. This tinted compact powder foundation comes in 3 shades to suit fair, medium, and dusky skin tones.

Vitamin C in skincare is pretty common, but now that it’s in this makeup product, it’s even more easier to use.

MyGlamm Super Serum Foundation

This makeup product is going to become your staple. It is infused with hyaluronic acid to hydrate and soothe your skin while looking totally fab. It has a buildable coverage that evens out skin tone and gives skin a natural matte finish.

5. Swipe On Lipstick

Since natural makeup looks are more minimalistic than all-out glam looks, you can make use of your lipstick in more ways than one. While you swipe on a rosy shade of lipstick on your lips for colour, also take some product on your fingers and dab it on your cheeks and eyes for a little bit of blush and eyeshadow.

This mini lip kit has 3 stunning nude shades with hydrating formulas that are enriched with vitamin E. These lipsticks can even be used as blush to complete your natural makeup looks.

6. Wear Eyeliner

When it comes to eyeliner, go for a soft blendable eyeliner like a kohl pencil for a softer look as this will make your natural makeup look even more stunning. Apply it close to your lash line or in your waterline for the most natural definition. You can even smudge it slightly for a more relaxed and less intense appearance.
