Mastering the Natural Makeup Look

Whether you're a fan of the 'no-makeup' makeup look or simply short on time to layer and blend a full face every time you step out of the house, embracing the simplicity of a natural look can be both refreshing and stunning.

Let's celebrate your face in its almost bare beauty, utilizing versatile products enriched with nourishing ingredients that enhance rather than conceal your natural allure.

Benefits of Opting for a Natural Makeup Look

  • *Simplicity at Its Best: A natural makeup routine is simple and stress-free. Using fewer products means a minimalist approach that simplifies your beauty regimen and also saves a lot of time on hands.
  • *Perfect for Summer: Embrace a natural look that feels light as a feather and keeps you feeling fresh. Avoid the heaviness of layered up makeup to stay radiant under the sun.
  • *Timelessly Elegant: While trends like bold lips and thick brows may fluctuate with the seasons, a natural makeup look remains classic and ever-stylish.
  • *Take the Load Off: The lesser you use, the lighter your makeup bag will be! So all you need will be essentials to pull off an effortless makeup look.

STEP 2: Apply Sheer to Lightweight Coverage

For a truly natural appearance, keep your foundation and concealer application to a minimum. To enhance and even out your complexion, try our Second Skin Multi-Tasking Skin Tint. Available in 12 shades, it is infused with Community Fair Trade Moringa Seed Oil and Edelweiss extract. It not only provides sheer coverage but also moisturizes and shields your skin from environmental stressors. Apply the tint with your fingertips for the best results.

For areas needing extra attention, like under the eyes or blemishes, lightly dab on our Vitamin C Concealer using our Concealer Brush for seamless blending. With 20 shades available, you’ll easily find the perfect match for your skin tone.

STEP 3: Enhance with Color

To achieve a natural makeup look, choose products that blend effortlessly with your skin tone. Creams and liquid-based formulas typically offer a more natural finish than matte or powder products, reflecting light softly for a subtle glow. Our Sheer Touch Lip & Cheek Tint is designed to be buildable, allowing you to adjust the color intensity to your preference, ensuring a flawless and seamless application. Finally add colour to your lips and keep them hydrated with balmy moisture & luscious scented Swipe It Lip Balms.

STEP 4: TAME YOUR BROWS

We celebrate all brow types, including the unruly ones, but for a defined 'no-makeup' & put-together look, they may require some gentle sculpting and taming. This is where our Frame It Brow Pomade steps in. Offered in four shades, including a clear option, it smoothly sets your eyebrows, giving them a neat appearance.

Tip: Steer clear of sharp lines and instead, sculpt a soft arch for brows that look naturally beautiful.
