How to Create the Perfect Neutral, Nude, or Natural Makeup Looks

By now, you probably know that the “no-makeup” look is usually best achieved with strategically-placed makeup. The radiance boost comes from a hydrating, barely-there base and finishes with a subtle, nude lip. But just because makeup is involved doesn’t mean it has to take a lot of time to create. Here are some tips and products for a neutral makeup look that’s fresh and perfect for you.

French Makeup

Foundation

A flawless-looking complexion starts with the perfect base. After your skincare routine, be sure to give your skin the same amount of care with skincare-infused makeup, starting with foundation. A lightweight, hydrating foundation for dry skin with hyaluronic acid will provide the seamless coverage you are looking for. Your foundation shouldn’t be noticeable or cakey if you choose a high-quality formula that absorbs nicely into your skin.

Concealer

Concealer is another secret to achieving an even-looking skin tone. An effective under-eye concealer can help disguise dark circles, blur imperfections, and brighten the look of your eye area. Make sure the color matches your skin tone, and look for hyaluronic acid as an ingredient to help keep your under-eye area looking hydrated and healthy. A high-quality concealer with skincare benefits shouldn’t settle into creases and instead blend well with your foundation for a seamless look.

Eyeshadow and Mascara

With a high-quality eyeshadow palette, you can create effortless and soft neutral looks. Seek an eyeshadow palette that features both matte and metallic shades in subtle browns and rusty pinks. Look for creamy textures and pearlescent pigments that deliver smooth and easy blending. Luxury makeup brands are among the best in formulating eyeshadows that look and feel beautiful on your lids. Your look will really come together when you dress up your lashes with a high-quality lash growth mascara.

Blush and Illuminator

With the right product, you can contour, highlight, and illuminate areas of the face where you want to add dimension, such as high on the cheekbones, brow, and bridge of the nose. Look for a product with two subtle shades and a great blending brush. One of the shades may be sheer and the other may be more pigmented. You can customize your look to achieve just the right amount of glow.

Lipstick

Tie your whole look together with a nude lip. Choose a matte or shine finish, whichever is your preference. You could go with a pink-nude lip or a brown-nude lip. Experiment with different variations of a nude lip depending on your mood and your outfit. As a tip, for perfectly smooth lips, use a high-quality lip scrub first to get rid of any dry skin or rough patches on your lips. French makeup brand BY TERRY, for instance, offers a premium rose lip scrub and many velvety lipsticks and lip glosses too. Sometimes simple looks have the greatest impact, so have some fun with your “no-makeup” look.
