How To Do A "Naturally Pretty" Makeup Look Without Foundation Or Concealer
Sometimes, we forget to utilise makeup as a way to accentuate our already natural, beautiful features and instead we use makeup as a mask to hide and conceal our beauty.
For many, when they spend hours watching makeup tutorials, they are inspired to go out and buy all these products but are let down when it doesn’t exactly mirror the image of those people online.
Even though I’m pretty sure that we all know there is a huge difference between what makeup looks like online and what it looks like in reality, not having a ‘beat’ face might seem like an anomaly...even though it’s not.
In fact, in my day to day life, I don’t regularly see people wear makeup to that extent at all which is why I’ve decided to write this blog post containing ways you can truly highlight and emphasize the natural beauty of your appearance.

First, Let’s Prep That Skin!
Why? Because skincare is the key to looking phenomenal with minimal or no makeup at all.
#1 Use An Exfoliating Scrub To Carefully And Gently Exfoliate The Face
This will improve the skin’s look and texture, it will remove impurities which will result in your skin looking so much more supple and glowy.
Ensure that the exfoliating scrub you decide to use on your face is oil free and that it won’t clog and suffocate your pores.
#2 Softly, Cleanse The Face
After exfoliating, cleanse the face to thoroughly get rid of any excess and dirt from using the facial scrub.
#3 Give Your Face A Fresh, Plumped Look By Using A Moisturiser
This is so important as moisturising your face will essentially give back colour to your face, tackle the appearance of those dry areas and wrinkles to make it less noticeable and make your face look naturally glowy and dewy.
Make sure to pay special attention to your under eyes, around your nose and around your mouth area, as they are some of the most common areas where it can give you an unpleasant and unflattering look.
#4 Groom Your Face
Meaning, to ensure that there are no stray hairs lurking out of your nostrils, make sure that your brows are well kept and that those faint hairs around your mouth are not too visible.
Whether that means shaving or waxing your face, doing this can really enhance the overall appearance of your face, making it look 10 times smoother and soft.
And no, your hairs won’t grow back thicker
However,
Depending on how you shaved it, you might start to feel like a prickly cactus :)
#5 Enhance The Appearance Of Your Teeth
That could mean braces, professional whitening or just some serious deep cleaning. Whatever it is, your smile is gonna be crucial to looking ever so lovely.
Now, Let’s Accentuate Those Features :)
Use these 5 products to still get a natural but glamorous look without the help of a foundation or concealer.
#1 Experiment With Tinted Lip Glosses
Lightly coloured sheer lip glosses, truly capture and complete that glowy look we all love and admire, adding so much beauty and aesthetic to the lips.
Even a lip gloss that is more pigmented will gorgeously accentuate and enhance your beautiful face rather than appear too striking and overbearing like most lipsticks.
#2 Add A Hint Of Blush
I never really realised how immensely effective a subtle shimmer of blush could be to your overall look and beauty, especially when your blush colour is ever so complementary to your skin tone.
I find that a liquid blush brings warmness and a natural glow to the face whilst also enhancing the different shades of colours from your overall outfit, making you look effortlessly attractive.
#3 Mascara & Brow Gel
Both the lashes and brows shape the eye, and so the beauty of the eye is definitely dependent on these two features.
Adding mascara to the lashes for length and volume will brighten up the eye and make them appear bigger.
Grooming and applying a tinted or clear brow gel to the brows will give the eye an effortless glow and will give a more clean and defined, beautiful structure to your overall face.

#4 Accentuate Those Cheekbones With A Subtle Highlighter
To me, this always looks super sun-kissable and stunningly gorgeous in the summer times.
However,
It should only highlight and bring emphasis to this beautiful feature that you’ve already attained, meaning that just a subtle, but visible glow should be all you need to truly rock this natural look.
Especially since you are not exactly wearing any foundation or concealer, it may look quite mediocre to go overboard on the highlight :)
#5 Invest In A Pretty Hairstyle
This is simply because the hair shapes the face and depending on the state of your hair, your look may be enhanced or diminished.
So, get a hairstyle that will bring further beauty to the features on your face.
You could also add hair accessories to accentuate your look even more so that your hair is even more personalised to fit and add a pinch more beauty to your face.
