I'm all about makeup! I love it, I adore it and I wear it just about every day. However, there are some days when I really want to just go bare faced into the world but I know I still need to even out my skin tone and most definitely protect it from pollution and skin damage. This is when I sport the "No Makeup" Makeup Look.
( /\ FYI: This is not me /\ )
Here are a few of my tips.
To get the skin smooth and even in tone, I begin prepping with a quality moisturizer. I adore Embryolisse and for oily skin like mine, I use Emulsion Hydra-Mat. If you have drier skin, then I suggest Lait-Crème Concentrè.
Once I've got the moisturizer applied, I add a primer. A primer is going to provide you with an even canvas for your foundation. When I'm not using airbrush makeup, I swear by Peter Thomas Roth's Max Anti-Shine Mattifying Gel. Another favorite is Smashbox's Photo Finish Foundation Primer.
Now onto the foundation. My newest love is OCC TINT: TINTED MOISTURIZER from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics. Another wonderful option is Becca's Luminous Skin Colour. Apply the tinted moisturizer with a good, quality makeup sponge like the Beauty Blender. Be sure to blend in the edges to alleviate any lines. Try using a slightly dampened sponge to give staying power to the foundation.
For a healthy glow, use Becca's Beach Tint on the apple's of your cheeks. Watermelon and Guava are two of my go to colors.
Keep your eyebrows natural looking by using a powder eyebrow color instead of liquid or pencil. Be sure to blend the look with a brow brush. You can also use a clean mascara wand if you don't have the brow brush. You'll find Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo in my kit.
To stay a la natural, ditch the eyeliner and instead, use a flat liner brush and cake eyeliner and really get it in at the root of your lashes. Keep the look light and soft. Laura Mercier Tightline Cake Eye Liner is amazing! Apply your mascara making sure to separate the lashes and remove any clumps.
Becca's Beach Tint can do double duty as a lip color. For a soft, subtle color, skip the lip liner and use a lip brush and apply the lip tint.
Skin without makeup is never really matte and will have a dewy appearance, so keep powdering to a minimum.
