How to Achieve a Natural Makeup Look

The key to achieving a natural everyday makeup look is choosing lightweight products that are easy to blend. Opt for natural shades of lip balms, cream blush, and highlighter to achieve a healthy glow. 

Follow these steps recommended by celebrity makeup artists to create a natural makeup look.

Curating products that enhance your natural beauty

You don’t need heavy products like foundation and powder. Instead, choose concealer, brow products, a lightweight mascara formula, and neutral shades that won’t create harsh lines and will help you attain the minimal makeup glow. 

Achieving a natural makeup look is all about enhancing your natural beauty with a minimalistic approach that feels effortless. Selecting products that blend well and enhance your skin tone to create a healthy, radiant appearance is the first step.

As Makeup artist Laura Mercier says, you want to enhance, not mask. A lightweight concealer will help reduce the appearance of dark under-eye circles and blend the overall appearance of your complexion. Add a cream blush palette that brings out your undertones.

After choosing a concealer and long-lasting cream blush with a light formulation, it’s okay to opt for a black mascara to enhance your eyes or a brown mascara for a natural lash. 

Finishing with a translucent powder can help set the makeup and reduce shine for oily skin types and a more natural finish. 

A step-by-step natural makeup tutorial 

Skin prep

Start with skin prep for hydrated skin by cleansing and moisturizing your face to create a base of hydrated skin. Apply a lightweight primer or hydrating serum to keep your skin fresh and ready for makeup, enhancing your natural beauty from the start. Read up on more skincare tips for oily skin. 

Skin tint

Apply skin tint for a sheer finish using a makeup sponge or your fingers. Gently blend it over your face to even out your skin tone while maintaining a sheer finish, allowing your natural complexion to shine through.

Brow filler

Enhance your brows with a brow pencil and gel. Fill in any sparse areas with soft, natural-looking strokes using the pencil. Brush through with a clear or tinted brow gel to set them in place, ensuring a polished yet natural appearance.

Eye makeup

Create a natural eye makeup look by using a fluffy brush to apply a neutral-toned eyeshadow that complements your skin’s natural color. Choose soft, matte shades for a hint of color that adds subtle definition to your eyes without appearing heavy.

Blush

Add a hint of color to your cheeks by dabbing a cream blush in a natural color onto the apples of your cheeks. Blend it with your fingers or a makeup sponge for a softer finish, giving your face a healthy flush that mimics naturally blushed skin.

Lips

Finish with final touches for a gorgeous makeup look by swiping on clear lip balm or a tinted gloss for a touch of natural beauty on your lips. Lightly dust translucent powder in areas that need setting with a fluffy brush, but keep it minimal to maintain a fresh, dewy look.

Following these steps will help you create a flawless, no-makeup makeup look that highlights your best features.

What does every makeup beginner need?

Here are the essentials for getting an all-natural makeup look that appears effortless:

• Skin tint or concealer
• Brow pencil or gel
• Neutral eyeshadow, mascara, blush
• Brushes or sponges for blending

What makes makeup look flawless?

Hydrated skin and seamlessly blended products help achieve a flawless look. Additionally, layering thinly and using tools like brushes and sponges or your fingers will help ensure a smooth, even application. Using your fingers is ideal because it will help you control the application. Because of your skin’s natural warmth, the concealer will heat up and help the product blend and melt into the skin more seamlessly.
