For those who don’t want to wear a full face of makeup but still want to look pretty, a natural makeup tutorial is the way to go. Natural makeup is all about enhancing your natural features and letting your skin shine through instead of hiding it with layers of foundation and concealer. This makeup style also allows you to play with more color combinations without looking overdone. Whether you want to achieve a soft & polished look, something more matte, or even a glowy and no-makeup summery kind of natural look, we’ve got you covered!
To create this type of beauty look, you’ll need to start with a good skincare routine. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and moisturize twice daily to help prevent dryness. To reduce the appearance of pores and fine lines, we recommend using a primer like our Luminous Primer. This product is infused with hydrolyzed collagen to give your skin that perfect, flawless finish. Once your skin is prepped, apply a light foundation like our Healthy Foundation or Fruit Pigmented Tinted Moisturizer with a brush or damp sponge. Be sure to blend well and pay special attention to the areas that need more coverage.
Depending on your desired outcome, you may want to add some extra color or definition with eyeshadow or lip color. If you choose to add some eyeshadow, use light colors that are close in shade to your natural skin tone. We also recommend choosing a creamy formula that is easy to blend and won’t settle into fine lines or wrinkles. For the eyes, we like to lightly define them with a small amount of eyeliner pencil, ideally a light brown or black shade. Make sure to keep the line as thin as possible and don’t extend it past your outer lash line or lid.
For the lips, a sheer lipstick or tinted lip balm is your best bet for a natural look. For a bit of extra shine, try adding a little highlighter to your cheekbones or cupid’s bow. Make sure to use a shimmer-free highlighter so it doesn’t look too “not natural” on your face. We like to use a cream-based highlighter that looks beautiful on all skin tones and has a subtle cooling effect, such as our Clean Fresh Cooling Glow Highlighter Stick.
Finally, don’t forget to touch up your brows with an eyebrow gel or powder that matches the color of your natural hair. For those with bushy brows, try a spoolie or brow brush to groom them into place and a clear brow gel to set them. If you have sparse areas, use a brow powder or a fine-tipped brow pencil to gently fill them in and blend them in. You can also add a tinted lip gloss or a light pink, coral, or very light orange lipstick to complete the look. Natural makeup is the way to go for those who aren’t into full-on glam or don’t have a lot of time for their makeup routine. With a few simple steps, you can master this beauty look and look gorgeous on any occasion!
