Make-up au naturel

Balmain

This fall, when it comes to makeup, naturalness and simplicity are the key words. Thus, fresh, radiant skin is mandatory if we want to take into account trends. Time in front of the mirror is reduced dramatically, the beauty kit becomes lighter and undoubtedly less is more will be the motto by which to guide.

Clean skin (Gucci), moisturized lips (Mary Katrantzou) and nude eyelids (Chloe) are the basic principles to get this look. In conclusion, a foundation with light texture, a lip balm and a makeup kit in nude shades are more than enough. However, if you want to get your inspiration from shows like Balmain, Balenciaga and Nina Ricci, who brought to the public attention the notion of healthy glow, make sure you grab a concealer and a highlighter.

Below are some tips that might help. I know it is not rocket science and that more than likely you already know them but don’t always use them. 🙂

  1. Prepare your skin
    Proper skin hydration is essential if we want to display our skin looking fresh. Therefore, make it a habit to clean your face, use a toner and apply an intense nourishing cream.
  2. Replace foundation with BB Cream
    For a day make-up, you need small to medium coverage. Thus, BB Cream can be a good option to consider. Stay away from foundations that over-load the skin.
  3. Use a concealer with confidence
    In order to cover up imperfections or dark circles, you can cheat using this product.
  4. Exfoliate your lips
    Not just the skin needs deep exfoliation, but also the lips. At least once a week, use a lip scrub.
  5. Chose the right shades
    A natural make-up requires a careful selection of shades that match your skin tone and features. Rely on shades of peach or light pink if your skin is pale, and shades of cream and beige if it’s close to olive.
