It can be fun to experiment with wild makeup looks. But sometimes you just want to look demure and mindful. Read on to learn how you can achieve that demure look.
10. A Hydrating Makeup Remover
For a demure look, you have to think of your makeup as a subtle work of art, like a beautiful painting. And every painting needs a good canvas. In this case your canvas is your face. Start your skin care routine with a hydrating makeup remover. La-Roche Posay Micellar Cleansing Water and Makeup Remover is great for oily skin. If you are looking for something a little more affordable you can try CeraVe cleansing balm for sensitive skin.
9. A Gentle Facial Cleanser
After you have removed your makeup, make sure your skin is fresh and clean by using a facial cleanser. Our skin comes into contact with air pollutants and oils that clog your pores. So you should use cleansers that are gentle on the skin like The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Facial cleanser.
8. Moisturizer
Now that your face is squeaky clean, it’s time to moisturize. Moisturizing will help your skin look plump and youthful. Try Neutrogena Hydro Boost moisturizer with hyaluronic acid. You can also try the Neutrogena retinol face moisturizer.
7. Eye Cream
After you have moisturized you need to be mindful of the skin under your eyes. Reduce the appearance of lines and dark circles under your eyes by applying eye creams. You can use RoC Retinol Correxion Under Eye Cream. Or if you’re looking for a product that will be easier on your wallet, you can use CeraVe Eye Repair Cream.
6. Sunscreen
Now that you have taken care of your eyes, now you have to be mindful of the sun. Because the sun can kill you, and a murderous sun is not very demure. For great protection, you can use La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Milk Sunscreen SPF 100. You can also try Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Water Resistant and Non-Greasy Sunscreen Lotion.
5. Face Primer
It is always a good idea to mindfully use primer before applying foundation. Primer can help your makeup last longer and it can decrease the look of lines and wrinkles. You can use L’Oreal Paris Age Perfect Face Blurring Primer. Or you can try e.l.f. Poreless Face Primer. You can never go wrong with e.l.f.
4. Luminous Foundation
A dewy, luminous foundation will give you a fresh, youthful appearance. Find a foundation that won’t have you looking too dry or oily. You can try Maybelline Dream Radiant Liquid Foundation. This foundation is great because it contains hyaluronic acid and collagen. You can also use e.l.f. Flawless Finish Foundation. Seriously, where would we be without e.l.f.
3. Liquid Eyeliner
Liquid eyeliner will give your eyes that sharp, clean look. Leave the smudgy, smoky looks for the non-demure night time looks. For a demure day time look, you can use NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Epic Ink Liner. It’s waterproof and uses a vegan formula.

2. Nude, Brown, Gold, Pink, Rose Shades
Our makeup must be very mindful, very demure. We don’t wear green cut creases in the workplace. We don’t want our makeup to hide or distract from our natural beauty. When looking for blushes and eyeshadows, we want to reach for neutral colors and soft pinks. You can’t go wrong with shades of brown, gold, and rose. Try Physicians Formula All-Star Face Palette. It’s cruelty-free and vegan which is very mindful. For your eyes, you can use the URBAN DECAY Naked Mini Eyeshadow Palette.
