One makeup trend that’s taking the beauty industry by storm is the no makeup look. Ladies, we’ve all, at some point, tried it and we have to admit that if done well, it looks so fab and fresh! And if you’re one still struggling with how to get it just right, here are some genius makeup tips to ace the no makeup look. These are just the points you need to keep in mind to dazzle all with your ‘natural’ beauty.
1. Prep your skin properly
Prepping your skin well before you start your makeup is half the job done. Firstly, you must drink enough water to ensure that your skin is hydrated to the fullest. Secondly, cleanse it well with a face wash that suits your skin type. Follow that with a good massage with a hydrating moisturizer for the face and voila! You’re ready to start your makeup routine.
2. Pull out that BB cream
Foundations tend to look a bit cakey and heavy on the face sometimes, especially when you’re trying the no makeup look. Opt for a light BB cream that and blend it well all over your face. This is one such face makeup product which will moisturize the skin further and result in an even-toned complexion.

3. Conceal smart
For any blemishes and acne marks on your face that are visible even after applying your fave BB cream, use a concealer on the spots and you’re good to go. Dot on the concealer on the blemishes and dab it well so that it blends perfectly.
4. Neutral colours only!
Take this one as a thumb rule when it comes to the no makeup look. Using bright, bold colours is a big no-no. Use beiges, peaches, neutral pinks and nudes only. Any colours other than these will take away from the makeup look you’re trying to achieve.
5. Contouring and highlighting all the way

6. Mascara magic
One makeup product you can go all out with when going for the no makeup look, is mascara! Start at the base of your lashes, and wiggle up the wand. Do a double coat if you want your lashes to look even more dramatic and help your eyes pop.
7. Powder up
Setting the no makeup look with a basic loose powder is imperative, ladies. This ensures that your contouring etc. stays put and it also gives a nice matte finish to your face. In fact, you must carry this along with you and use it for touch-ups as and when required.
8. Lip tint choices
It’s best to go for a natural coloured gloss. If you must add a rosy tint to your lips, go for a light pink or peach to complement your no makeup look. Steer clear of reds, raspberry shades and browns, ladies.
