No-Makeup Makeup Look for Summer

If you are seeking ideas on effortless, natural makeup for this summer, you are in the perfect place! Makeup trends usually come and go, but placing the spotlight on your natural features never goes out of style. The "No-Makeup Makeup" look has been a long-running beauty trend, but it recently went viral after celebrities began to accentuate their natural features through an authentic, subtle approach. Let's dive into the perfect "No-Makeup Makeup" routine for this upcoming summer!

The biggest secret behind accentuating your natural features is to avoid heavy layers of products. First, your skincare needs to be done thoroughly before applying any layer of base product. Use a facial toner, serum, moisturizer, or face cream following the order above. Get rid of any dryness through exfoliating, and gently massage your face with a moisturizer for a dewy finish. Always use a face primer after your skincare and before you apply makeup. Use a tone up sun cream or a light foundation that perfectly matches your skin tone for your makeup base. Focus on blending the base products seamlessly into your skin by using a beauty blender.

For dark circle coverage, choose the right colors for your concealer and hydrate the skin under your eyes. Conceal your dark circles by applying eye cream in the beginning. Next, think of the color wheel because the opposite colors on the wheel tend to cover or abolish each other. Since the colors of dark circles are either dark blue or purple, the opposite color of the wheel: peach-toned concealer is the key to this coverage. For light coverage, directly apply the concealer to your undereye area with a thin brush or damp beauty blender.

The trick to soft eye makeup is tightlining and thin mascara. Tightlining is a favored eyeliner trick by many makeup artists and is also known as an invisible liner. It's simply drawing your eyeliner inside the lash line and along the waterline. It's a perfect way to define your eyes and achieve a no-makeup look. Apply a thin, smudge-proof mascara that has a lighter shade, or you may just use a mascara fixer as well. Some people don't apply mascara for a more minimalist look.

Soften your lips by applying lip balm. Lightly dab a nourishing lip tint to add a flush of color to your lips. Colors such as bare pink or peach tone are recommended.
