For a glowier finish, Dominic recommends "adding a smidge of MAC's Strobe Cream to any foundation". "Not only will it reduce the heaviness of any base, but it'll instantly increase your glow and leave skin looking fresh & natural."

how to make your makeup more natural
"Mascara can be super heavy (which isn't always a bad thing), but if you're trying to achieve a softer look big lashes can be too much" says Dominic. "A trick I often use, is to apply mascara as usual, but then use two cotton buds with a little makeup remover and pinch the lashes between them to remove some of the excess mascara."
"A great tip to define your eyes without a dramatic liner look, is to apply a black or brown eye pencil to the top and bottom waterlines of your eye. After applying it, close your eyes really tight - this will push the pigment into the roots of your lashes, deepening the appearance of your natural lashline. Then, take a cotton bud and remove the majority of the pencil from the waterline, leaving just the pigment at the roots of your lashes. Your lashes will look naturally defined, with zero harsh lines." Explains Dominic.
"Most people use bronzing powder like a fake tan and apply it all over the face." Says Dominic. "But if you want to create a more natural finish, just apply the bronzer around the outside edge of your face and whip it lightly under the cheekbones. This technique warms the face naturally."
"Matte lipstick is still a huge trend, but the bold pigmentation can be a little overwhelming if you want to achieve a natural makeup look." Says Dominic. "For a softer finish, grab your favourite matte lipstick, then dampen a small fluffy makeup brush with a little MAC Prep+Prime Fix+, next, use the brush to buff the colour into your lips creating a diffused, long-lasting, matte lip stain." Pretty and practical.
This look is all about glowing, natural skin. The easiest way to get that? Actually have glowy, natural skin. While not everyone has the amazing youthful glow of Amal Clooney or Jennifer Aniston, we know how to how fake it! Before embarking on this no-makeup- makeup journey, indulge in some skin prep. Using a hydrating face mask before applying makeup makes sure the skin is already supple and moisturized.
This contour/bronzer hybrid will add shadows and dimension to your face, but unlike other bronzers, it blends seamlessly into whatever's underneath it. For a natural look, put your brush directly into the product and then blend on your face.
Adding a nice dewiness to the tops of the cheekbones can go a long way in making your face look natural but still glowy. Rather than going for a traditional shimmery highlighter, opt for a cream with a clear base. This basically looks just like sweat (sounds gross, but trust us!) or a natural dew to the skin. The texture of the product will also blend right in with all the other cream products on the face.
Apply a bb cream that matches your skin tone to instantly brighten and beautify your skin. Blend in with a damp makeup sponge for a dewy finish. If you opt for a bb cream with hydrating properties, it can be worn without a moisturizer!

Good skin means less makeup, so starting out with a smooth canvas is key for natural makeup looks. Start your prep the night before by applying a nourishing oil like our INIKA Organic Phyto-Active Rosehip Oil, allowing it to sink in and nourish your skin while you sleep. Then in the morning, apply INIKA Organic Radiant Glow Veil to create a silky-smooth and glowing base that will now only require very minimal makeup.
A big trend right now in natural, minimal makeup is micro-concealing. It's when concealer is used minimally and strategically on small areas of the face to camouflage any pigmentation or blemishes, while the rest of the skin is left to breathe (no foundation required). Its a great trick for those who've worked hard on their skincare routine and are after a quick way to create minimal everyday makeup.
For natural looking foundation, it's always best to start light and then build up coverage if needed. Our Loose Mineral Foundation SPF25 is ideal for this - it will help to even out the skin tone for an airbrushed finish, and because its made from 100% natural ingredients, it will nourish your skin while you wear it.
The secret to minimal eye makeup is to be strategic with your shade selection and eyeshadow placement. For a natural smokey eye that will make your eyes appear bigger, start with a beige tone all over the eyelid to neutralise. Then, using a slightly darker brown or chocolate, buff this into the outer corner of your crease, blending only until the centre point of the eyelid. This will create an elongating cat eye effect, while keeping your makeup simple and natural.
Theres no need for liner when creating a no makeup look. Instead, finish your eyes with a slick of natural looking mascara. Wriggle the wand at the root of your lashes to create volume before brushing through to the ends for added length.
Top tip: Find a mascara that suits your natural lashes for the best results. Whether you have curly, straight, or blonde lashes our guide will help you find your perfect mascara match.
Nothing says healthy, glowing skin like a natural flush of the cheeks, so choose blush over bronzer for barely there makeup. For a youthful, fresh look, apply it to the apples of your cheeks, blending upwards towards your ears.
To find a natural looking lipstick that ties your look together, aim for a shade thats just one or two tones darker than your God-given pout. Something in a dewy, sheer finish will help make your lips look naturally fuller.
Natural dewy makeup doesn't have to be boring. There are plenty of ways to create a whole library of stunning, yet minimal makeup looks. From a sunset smokey eye to a rosy glow, you'll find plenty of inspiration via our blog.
With dewy highlighters, your-skin-but-better foundations, and blushes that mimic a post-coital glow (you know the one), we're definitely not lacking for makeup that seeks to give us the effect of not wearing any makeup at all. And while you may love to wear a bold lipstick or a feline-like liner, when it comes to complexion makeup, the most natural effect is achieved when your skin still looks like skin. That said, if you're not blessed with a preternaturally flawless complexion (in other words, you're a human being who enjoys the occasional whole milk latte and isn't impervious to hormonal breakouts), creating an even, luminous canvas with the help of foundation, concealer, and powder, is well within your reach with the right tools and products. In the spirit of achieving the "MLBB" equivalent of skin, we've enlisted the help of makeup artists to share their best tips and product recommendations to get you your best skin yet. From prepping your face to a crash course in concealer, keep reading for eight of our best tricks for creating gorgeous-looking skin with the power of makeup.
Over the past few years, there has been a seismic shift toward a more natural contour. For proof, just look to the king of contour himself, makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic. He may have pioneered the transformative sculpting technique that the Kardashians catapulted into the beauty zeitgeist during the 2010s, but his more recent 2.0 approach is distinctly more light-handed. In a word? Softer.
No matter what your skin type is, ditching all the beautifying products once in a while can work wonders for your skin. When you go without make-up for a while, you give your skin a chance to breathe.
Here, we jot down a few important tips to help you achieve a beautiful face without makeup. And who knows you may fall in love with it so much, that you will never want to touch your makeup kit again!

A few tips and tricks along with these basic things, will make you look beautiful effortlessly.
Choosing to pamper yourself by visiting a salon is a great way to make yourself feel good. You can go for a manicure, pedicure or a hair spa session. Besides, if you wish to get rid of unwanted hair, book your waxing appointment.
Your smile is your biggest asset when it comes to facial beauty. Take proper care of your lips by exfoliating them regularly and applying a moisturiser such as a lip balm, as and when required. Also, make sure to maintain a good dental hygiene. Apart from brushing twice daily, you can also opt for a professional polishing treatment for your teeth to add a sparkle to your dazzling smile.
Your dressing plays an important role in how you look and feel about yourself, and in turn how others conceive you. Always go for clothes and shoes that you are comfortable in, and ones that are appropriate for a particular occasion. Choose colors that compliment your natural complexion. Layering of clothes is trending and looks cool and elegant at the same time. You can add accessories like sunglasses, neckpieces, earrings, some statement jewellery etc to enhance the look. 2ff7e9595c
