What is the Natural Makeup Look?

The natural makeup look is the latest trend in the beauty industry. It includes using lighter makeup and natural colours and shades on eyes, lips, and cheeks, which creates a more naturally flawless look. 

It's not about looking like you have no makeup on but highlighting those features that make you unique and your best self.

How to Get Your Skin Ready for Makeup Application

Proper skin care is an essential part of any makeup routine. Although some people have naturally perfect skin, others need to take extra steps to get their skin in shape for makeup application. The first thing you should do is clean your face with a gentle cleanser. After you are done cleansing your face, focus on the areas where you will be wearing the most makeup - your eyes, lips, and cheeks. You can use a toner or astringent to help remove any dirt that may have accumulated overnight. 

We will take you through the entire journey of natural makeup step by step with products available on Purplle.com to look like real and natural skin.

Step 1: Moisturise your skin.

Be sure to moisturise after cleansing and before applying any other products to your face. Apply moisturiser evenly across your face to prepare your skin for simple natural makeup. Apply gently in a circular motion and give it a few minutes to get absorbed by the skin before moving on to the next step. 

Step 2: Prime your base

Primer is used before you apply a light coat of foundation, as it helps makeup stay longer. Apply it in a small quantity, avoiding sensitive areas below the eyes and letting it sink into the skin. You may apply it on eyelids to keep the eye shadow not appearing with a patchy and uneven look. There is a range of primers available on natural makeup products on Purplle.com, or you might like to explore Biotique Natural Makeup Diva Silk Pore Perfect Primer.

Step 3: Base 

The right shade of foundation as per your skin will enhance the natural makeup look. Apply a light foundation or BB cream for natural makeup shade for oily and dry skin, with a damp sponge or a flat brush to help it penetrate the lines and creases. It gives a smooth and even texture to the skin and lets the makeup stay intact for the entire day.

Step 4: Concealer

Concealer is used for a luminous look on the face or to brighten up the under-eye area, covering discolouration and dark circles. Liquid concealer is recommended for a light and natural make-up finish, especially in the areas around the eyes and mouth. Apply it to the forehead, bridge of nose, chin, and cover the areas with uneven skin tone.

Many women prefer to apply concealer before liquid foundation, but it is done using powder foundation and not a liquid foundation.

Step 5: Go light on the coverage.

Select the right shade of foundation powder for your skin tone, similar to your foundation. Ensure you apply just the right quantity to avoid a heavy ‘cake look’. 

The best-recommended method is to apply it with a big and fluffy powder brush and dust a light coat all over the face.

Step 6: Bronzer

You may decide to use a Bronzer for a natural bronze makeup look. Use a dedicated bronzer brush and apply in the shape of a number “3” on both sides of the face. Starting from the forehead, sweep the brush along your cheeks, then gently clean it across the jawline and end the stroke below your chin. Blend it into your neck to have a smooth look.  You may like to search for a set of brushes to give that perfect stroke of natural makeup look. Explore brushes at Purplle.com.

Step 7: Blush your Cheeks

Apply blush while blending it with lighter strokes onto the apples of your cheeks to ensure it is not concentrated in one area.

Step 8: Highlight for that glam and glow

The right highlighter compliments your makeup application with added glam and glow. It is okay to use it for a natural makeup look or even for a bold look. Areas to apply are across the tops of your cheekbones, brow bone, bridge of the nose, the centre of the forehead, indent above the upper lip (cupid’s bow), inner corners of your eyelids, and centre of the chin.

Eyebrows

Shape and highlight your eyebrows with a lighter stroke of pencil to create a hair-like appearance.

Eyeshadow

Eyeshadows can add depth to the eyes, and you may opt for neutral shades for natural eyeshadow looks. The best is to pick two complementary eyeshadows: one lighter and one darker or warm shade. Apply the lighter shade across the lid and the darker shade at the outer corner of your eyes under the brow bone. Sweep it across your eyelid crease and blend both shades for a more natural eye makeup look. Ensure to tap the brush to remove excess eye shadow before applying every stroke.

Eyeliner

Applying eyeliner is a bit tricky if you are a beginner. You may start with pencil eyeliner if you are a beginner. Apply liquid or gel eyeliner for the fine line on your eyelid if you have already used it. The inner corner of the eyes should have a thin line and gradually increase the thickness towards the corners of the eyes to give a natural brown eyeliner look. It enhances the shape of your eyes, and applying it thin will keep it more natural eye makeup.

Mascara

Even if you are skipping the application of eyeliner as a choice, mascara gives the eyes a wider look. Though it comes in many colours, the best is to use brown or black to maintain the natural eye makeup. 
 

Step 10: Give the gloss to your Lips.

Finish the final look with a shade of pink or nude lip gloss complimenting your skin tone. You may choose lipstick shades for a natural look from a range of natural lip shades like Biotique Natural Makeup Starshimmer Glam Lipgloss made with organic ingredients or Biotique natural Makeup Diva Shine Lip Gloss.
