A Step-By-Step Guide To Nailing A Natural Makeup Look

March 11, 2020

Did you know that the natural makeup look is set to be huge in 2020? Nobody is saying that you can’t stick to wearing lots of different colored eyeshadows and bright lipsticks if that’s what you want, but sometimes it can be nice to apply a natural makeup look just for a change. If you’ve tried this before and failed, this step by step guide will help you to nail it! 

Step 1: Prep Your Skin 

If you’re going to nail the natural makeup look, then you need to make sure your skin is well prepped. You don’t need perfect skin, but you do need to prep it properly. If you can start even a few days in advance, sticking to your face routine and drinking lots of water, it’ll make a big difference! 

Here’s how you should prep your skin before applying any makeup:

Double cleanse
Tone 
Serum 
Eye serum/cream
Face cream 

Leave a few minutes in between each step so you’re not just piling products on and mixing them together. If you want to make sure that your makeup turns out as dewy and glowing as possible, you should apply a really moisturising cream or gel-like product. You could even apply a super hydrating mask for 10 minutes after cleansing! 

Step 2: Groom Your Eyebrows

Less is more when it comes to your brows in a natural makeup look. They don’t need to be perfectly outlined and perfectly defined. Instead, try to fill in the gaps and consider using a brow mascara to brush the hairs up slightly. This will give them a slightly messier look that many people are favoring in 2020. 

Step 3: Apply Concealer, Contour, And Other Cream Products (Not Foundation)

You’re probably used to applying your foundation before concealer, contour, and other products, so this might feel a bit strange. However, applying the other cream products before your foundation can actually help everything look more seamlessly blended. 

Use a cream contour stick to contour and apply your concealer where you need it. You can also use a cream highlight at this stage (which is great if you’d rather not have that powdery highlight look). You may also like to use a little cream blush. 

Step 4: Apply Foundation

Since you’ve already covered your skin with product, you don’t need to use as much foundation. Use just one or two pumps and then a wet beauty blender or brush to stipple it and blend all over your face. You should notice a beautiful blended effect – and this means a lot less work for you! 

Step 5: Apply Final Products 

Now it’s time to finish off this look however you like. If you have dry or normal skin, then you probably want to leave your face as it is without any powdery products like setting powder. However, if you have oilier skin, applying a light face powder could be a good idea. Don’t forget your nude gloss or lipstick – click here for the perfect shade. Remember, you’re going for a ‘your lips but better’ vibe. You may also like to add a wash of light eyeshadow and a quick slick of mascara, but don’t add too many coats! 

Setting spray can help to enhance a dewy finish and keep your face lasting all day.

      Same! I really try to keep it simple these days, especially on workdays 🙂 Less maintenance to uphold the look during the day!

#Ad Having battled oily skin for years, the heat a #Ad Having battled oily skin for years, the heat and humidity that comes along with summer makes it even tougher to battle breakouts. It's also a struggle to find the right moisturizer that keeps my skin healthy, balanced and glowing all while reducing irritation. This summer has been especially hard as I've struggled with "maskne"! That's why I'm beyond excited to tell you about the Clarifying Oil-Free Water Gel Moisturizer from @muradskincare!

Formulated with hyaluronic acid, salicylic acid, ginger root, and Korean red pine extract, this moisturizer will hydrate, balance, and improve the look of your skin as well no matter your skin type or needs! I am telling you, you do not want to pass up adding this product to your routine! It is available at @ulta, @sephora and Murad.com. I am a long time user and lover of Murad products but have to say, this is one of my all-time favorites.

It’s been awhile and A LOT has happened in our w It’s been awhile and A LOT has happened in our world since I last posted to my feed. There is a lot I want to say and I will be posting a lot more soon, but first & foremost...

Black Lives Matter.

I wish I had posted about this in my feed sooner, but I honestly didn’t know what to say or how to say it. I spent way too long overthinking it versus just doing it. I know that’s not an excuse, and I know I have to do better. I’ve been spending a lot of time reflecting and educating myself as well as finding ways to help and be proactive. I am committing myself to do more and do better. I know it’s not enough and I’m not sure it will ever be enough... but I will never stop trying. 

The most important thing I learned is that my silence in the past was unacceptable and a huge part of the problem. I thought not knowing what to say and worrying about saying the wrong thing meant it was ok to be silent. It WAS NOT and IS NOT ok.

I have so much more to learn and to do, but one thing is for sure... I will no longer be silent. I will continue to keep the anti-racism resources link in my bio - as it has been a great resource for me and know it has been for many others. Again, I’m not excusing myself for not posting in my feed sooner but I will continue to share and hope to keep the momentum going 🖤 Black Lives Matter 🖤
Hey friends! How are you?! We made it through anot Hey friends! How are you?! We made it through another *very unusual* & crazy/scary week. I hope you are staying safe & well!

Yesterday we took Emma @emmaminiaussie to the vet for her annual vet check up. It was her first appointment at a new vet since our move, and we had to let her go in alone. My anxiety has been off the charts lately, as I’m sure it has been for many of you, and heightened even more by this. Emma is truly our child, our daughter, and I am always anxious wanting to ensure she’s happy and doing well.
.
Sitting outside in the car waiting for the call from our new vet was difficult, but I’m so happy to report her health at almost 8 years old is wonderful! She’s thriving and it makes my heart so happy. Another great reminder during these times to be thankful for what matters most - your health and your loved ones’ health (including your fur babies 🐶). So with another long caption today just wishing health and safety to all of you right now! And another thank you to essential workers on the frontlines ❤️🙏🏻 #emmatheminiaussie #loveconquersall #stayhealthy
Hello Instagram family… it’s been awhile. I ha Hello Instagram family… it’s been awhile. I have not posted in my feed since February… and so this is going to be a long one since life as we know it has completely changed over the past month. 
I decided I needed a mental break from Instagram - not all social media - just Instagram. I have been unmotivated to post on this particular platform and was constantly posting old photos/photoshoots just to have something to post. So I took a break to refresh. 
Well, as you know, things started to escalate pretty quickly with COVID-19. I was just about ready to start posting again and BOOM. Just like that, everything in our world changed. It didn’t feel right to post my latest outfit at that moment… 
Things are still escalating, but I’m back here today because I’m longing for connection more than ever and because I want to say THANK you to so many people. 
Things are scary right now. They are uncertain and unfathomable. We are all trying to adapt to a new normal. I don’t have much to add to what others have been saying, but I do want to say I’m thinking of and praying for everyone, especially those directly affected by the pandemic. 
I also want to say thank you to everyone putting their lives at risk to help our country and our world during this time. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to healthcare workers, delivery drivers, grocery store workers, pharmacy/drugstore workers, app-based gig workers out in the field, restaurants who are feeding healthcare workers and feeding children lunches, teachers going above and beyond, to those helping get their parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors and others who are vulnerable the essentials they need to get through this. You are all HEROES and I can never express enough gratitude for what you are doing. 
I don’t have much else to say, but I hope to continue to connect with you all again on this platform. THANK YOU to everyone who is putting an effort into making a difference during this pandemic. Staying home means so much right now if you are able to! We will get through this together if we work together. Stay safe, stay well, and be kind ❤️ #stayhome #besafe #thankyou
Happy Valentine’s Day my love ❤️❤️❤️ Happy Valentine’s Day my love ❤️❤️❤️ love you with all I am 💕💕💕#valentinesday2020 #myhusband #myvalentine
