Some people want to look demure and mindful. But other people want to look effortlessly and naturally pretty. Read on to find out how you can achieve a natural beauty look. You’ll be telling everyone that you “woke up like this.”
10. Moisturizer
After you wash your face, 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.
9. Sunscreen
You want to look naturally beautiful, not burnt. 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.
8. Face Primer
It is always a good idea to 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.
7. 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.
6. Nude, Brown, Gold, Pink, Rose Shades
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 URBAN DECAY Naked Mini Eyeshadow Palette.
5. Mascara, Not Falsies
False eyelashes can make your eyes look bigger and give you a dramatic look. But we are going for natural, not dramatic. Some nice, subtle mascara will enhance your eyes without overpowering them. Try the Honest Beauty 2-in-1 Extreme Length Clean Mascara.
4. Brown Eyeliner
A sharp black wing tip will make you look fierce. But we are going for a softer look. We don’t want to look too harsh. Brown eyeliner will enhance your eyes in a soft way. The NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Vivid Rich Mechanical Eye Pencil is a great option.
3. Hydrating Lip Balm
Your smile is the crown jewel that ties your whole natural look together. You want your lips to look hydrated and plump. The best way to achieve this look is with a tinted lip balm and a plumping lip gloss. Try CoverGirl Clean Fresh Tinted Lip Balm. After you apply the lip balm, reach for the Too Faced Lip Injection Plumping Lip Gloss.
