What goes around tends to come back around eventually. And, when it comes to some of the hottest makeup trends for fall, truer words have never been spoken. Matte makeup is making a mega comeback for the party season and is about to be just as big again. Brands have been dropping spanking-new products in soft, flattering, and wearable finishes. From Kim K to Dua Lipa and Kendall Jenner – all of the celebs and their MUAs are jumping on board by experimenting with this trend. There’s something so alluring about matte makeup that beauty savants can’t get enough of. Whether you wanna rock a ‘gram-worthy velvety skin or a statement-coloured powdery lip – there are a lot of ways to hop on the trend wagon. If you wanna slay the vibe, here’s everything you need to know.
How To Wear Matte Makeup?
There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to wearing matte makeup. If you are after a classic look, opt for a matte base and pair it with matte lips and eyeshadow. Or you can get creative by playing with textures and mixing glossy, satin finishes with mattes. In contrast to glass skin that’s super easy to achieve and involves just dabbing on dew-inducing primer and foundation. A matte skin look is slightly tricky to achieve. The key here is to use mattifying skincare products. Applying a pore-blurring primer will also play a role. It not only gives a silky smooth canvas to set the rest of your base products up for success but will give your base a beautiful, velvety effect.
Who Can Wear Matte Makeup?
While everyone can experiment with matte makeup, folks with dry or heavily textured skin should use matte makeup in conjunction with other hydrating formulas. If you have dry skin and you’re using a matte foundation, it might exacerbate the dryness. The same goes for flaky lips. Applying matte formulas on dry lips can emphasise texture and aggravate dryness. Likewise, matte eyeshadows might end up settling into thick creases. If you have dry skin and want to try the trend, we recommend using a hydrating, luminous finish foundation and layering on a setting powder to give your base a matte effect.
Matte Makeup Mistakes To Avoid
Matte makeup is tricky to apply. The biggest mistake when it comes to applying matte makeup is layering it with cream or oil-based products. Doing so can lead to a patchy and uneven base. It’s best to start with well-hydrated skin and then layer on a matte foundation over a matte primer. Apply in thin layers and make sure you blend them before they set. Use matte products that work well together and avoid applying too many layers as it can make your skin look cakey rather than velvety.
