10 rules for perfect skin without makeup

To be honest, “no makeup makeup” or “nude makeup” has been trending for several years now.

Makeup artists say that this is due to the rhythm of life of a modern person who does not have enough time for virtually anything. Including makeup. That’s why make-up stylists introduced a trend towards naturalness, in which you don’t have to stand in front of the mirror for an hour.

At the same time, the nuances of “no makeup makeup” change from season to season. However, there are also basic rules.

What it is

Being naturally beautiful is not just a skill, it is an entire art that is accessible to every girl with daily practice.

Makeup in the Nude look style does not tolerate sharp transitions and clear lines. The main condition for its creation is the correct choice of cosmetics - it should not contain glitter, pearlescent and shimmering particles. In this kind of makeup, it is not color that plays the main role, but the play of light and shadow.

The balance of accents in Nude makeup is very important - on the eyes, cheeks, lips they should be equal and combined in color so that one thing does not attract all the attention, and the image turns out to be complete and harmonious.

Natural eye shape

Nude makeup involves creating a slight emphasis on the eyelids, without correction. This season, use sand and gold shadows. In this case, you can apply only one tone of shadow, without excessive shading.

What techniques and methods are used to achieve makeup without makeup?

To create a no-makeup makeup look, you need the following products:

Base makeup;
Foundation;
corrector;
powder;

blush;
shadows;
Mascara;
lip balm.

We begin to create natural makeup by applying a makeup base . It not only evens out the structure of the skin, giving it radiance, but also makes makeup more durable.
The next step is to apply foundation . It must be of high quality, match the skin type and color, and apply in an even thin layer. Apply with a special makeup brush or sponge.
To hide minor defects on the face , spots and dark circles under the eyes, we use a corrector. Take a pigment one tone lighter than your skin. Apply a small amount of the product precisely to the desired places and, using a makeup sponge, distribute it over the face with light, tapping movements.
The next step is to apply the powder evenly . Apply it with a large soft brush.
Apply blush, creating a natural blush effect. Choose colors that best suit your skin type.

Remember, cream blush is used on top of foundation and only then covered with powder. Dry products are applied after setting the makeup with powder.

The most inconspicuous shadows are selected: beige, peach and milky shades.
Apply mascara in one layer, painting only the top row of eyelashes. If you have long ones, you can do without mascara, in this case the makeup will look more natural.
Since no-makeup makeup does not involve bright colors on the lips , we use lip balm or nude lipstick for lip makeup. You should choose beige-pink colors that are closest to the natural color of your lips.
Using light textures and natural tones you can get the effect of freshness and radiance of your skin.

Self-massage

Facial massage, of course, will not provide such a lifting effect, but it perfectly improves blood circulation and stimulates the renewal of epidermal cells. Light claps, stroking, pressing, like gymnastics, help relieve tension, but without pumping the muscles. If you additionally use creams with the necessary nutrients, the effect will not take long to appear.

Where to begin?

To get rid of swelling. Place your palms on the center of your face and press on the wings of your nose. Move both hands to the temples, continuing the pressing movement and, as it were, pulling the tissue up.
To relieve tension. Gently tap your fingertips all over your face for 30 seconds. If this exercise feels like raindrops, then you are doing everything right.

How to do it yourself at home

To create natural makeup at home, you need a minimum of products and tools . Basic rules for applying natural makeup:

using a foundation that matches your face tone;
hair color should match the color of the eyebrows;
applying a natural shade of blush;
use of matte shades of eye shadow;
minimal application of mascara;
harmoniously emphasizing the eyes, lips and eyebrow line.

With practice, you will master the techniques of proper natural Nude look makeup and achieve a flawless result.

Ideas for such makeup

Nude look for blue-gray eyes

To create a nude look, girls with blue-gray eyes need to use translucent, light shades.

Particular attention is paid to correcting the area around the eyes.
The use of shadows is not necessary , since by nature such eyes are very expressive.
Lightly coat the eyelashes with mascara.
We focus on the eyebrows . Brunettes should not wear them, it is better if they are natural.
Blondes are recommended to emphasize their eyebrows with shadows or a dry pencil; their color should be a tone darker than natural.
Blush is suitable in delicate shades , such as peach or soft pink.
Apply a colorless soft balm or lip gloss to your lips.

Nude look for brown-eyed girls

The first stage is masking and applying a tone that perfectly suits your skin. Using a sponge or brushes, distribute it evenly on the face.
Create a shade for face correction . Apply natural modeling blush to the area under the cheekbones, emphasizing their depth. If you have a protruding chin, darken its lower part. If the forehead is wide, darken the peripheral areas of the face. If the forehead is high, we work along the hairline.
Apply powder with a small brush, fixing makeup.
For eye makeup we use natural beige shadows ; they will create a light glow, additionally evening out the skin around the eyes.
We use minimal mascara.
Eyebrows should be natural ; if necessary, highlight them with a pencil or use dry shadows.
A nude beige will help complete the makeup

Light makeup Nude look

In this type of makeup, we pay attention to the color and radiance of the skin.

Mix foundation with highlighter. To avoid the mask effect, apply to the face with your fingertips.
We use a tone-on-tone corrector under the eyes , and a tone lighter on the cheekbones.
Use loose powder to fix areas on the forehead , wings of the nose and chin. Apply just a little powder to the cheekbones. As a result, we get radiant skin without greasy shine.
Using the largest brush, apply a delicate beige or pink blush . They will give the skin a natural glow.
We select peach-colored lipstick . We control the saturation by distributing it on the lips with our fingertips.
In order to make your eyes expressive without using mascara, we curl them with special curling irons . To enhance the effect, apply silk shadows of a neutral brown color.

Makeup without eye makeup

Is it possible to look good without eye makeup using the Nude look technique? Can! It is necessary to shift the emphasis to the facial features by correctly adjusting its oval. To do this, we need an even tone - a base and a darker shade of powder.

The first stage is applying the base. Distribute the foundation evenly, not forgetting to work the border between the face and neck. Since the eyes remain neutral, apply a small amount of product to the moving eyelid and the area under the eyebrow.
We use a corrector. Apply a dark shade to the cheekbone area. In order to understand how to apply chiaroscuro correctly, you need to draw in your cheeks and highlight the natural hollows that have formed using modeling powder or blush. Also, to create the correct balanced light and shade, you need to darken the lower, invisible part of the chin and the sides of the forehead.
We fix the makeup with an even distribution of powder.
Blend the blush above the cheekbone line . If your face has the shape of an elongated oval, apply blush horizontally; if the oval is wide, apply diagonally, towards the temple.
We shape the eyebrows , taking into account that pale eyebrows need to be slightly shaded with a pencil.
Apply natural creamy lipstick to your lips
As a result, we get fashionable makeup in the Nude style - no eye makeup, a perfectly drawn oval face, neutral lips.

Gymnastics for the face

No matter how skeptical many are about this point, we must admit: the method really works! More than 60 muscles help us hold our face. Active facial expressions, stress and various external factors lead to the fact that some muscles are in constant tone.

Facial gymnastics helps relieve tension. When we grimace (frown or straighten our forehead, purse or pout our lips, widen or squint our eyes), we are not so much “pumping” the muscles as helping them to relax. After the first 10-minute sessions, your face noticeably straightens, but imagine what kind of lifting effect you will get if you practice it daily?

Where to begin?

Try some of the following exercises:

For a clear oval face. Sit upright (it’s best to rest your back against a wall or the back of a chair), then use the thumbs of both hands to begin pressing on the lower part of your chin. At the same time, press your tongue on the upper palate, resisting the pressure of your hands. Perform for 30 seconds, and when finished, lightly tap your chin with your fingers to relieve tension.
From nasolabial folds. Open and round your mouth, keeping it tense the entire time you perform the exercise. Use your index fingers to move from the edges of your nose to your temples. Repeat this 7-10 times. Did you feel the effect?

1. Choose the right facial cleanser. For oily, acne-prone skin, products with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide are suitable, and for mature, dry skin, a moisturizer with glycolic acid or milk is suitable. Lightening products containing fruit acids do an excellent job of treating age spots.

2. Drink only healthy drinks. Replace your morning coffee with liquid chlorophyll - this dietary supplement radically brightens, moisturizes and oxygenates the skin. It also effectively eliminates puffiness and reduces the appearance of cellulite by stimulating the lymphatic system.
