We all want clear and perfect looking skin but not all of us are born with it. That’s why makeup plays such an important role in our lives. It gives our otherwise uneven skin a flawless and even tone, hiding all the imperfections.
But does wearing makeup always have to be heavy? Not really, that’s when the beauty world got obsessed with the no-makeup makeup look. Celebrities, models and influencers around the world have embraced this easy-going everyday makeup style. Do you want to learn how to ace this look? Here’s every product you need to get it right.
CC cream
Some foundations can look a bit cakey and heavy, especially on those with dry skin. When you’re planning to go for a no-makeup makeup look, opt for a CC cream instead. It moisturises your skin and gives an even-toned complexion. The Lakmé 9 to 5 Naturale CC Cream soothes your skin with the goodness of aloe and protects your skin from the harmful rays of the sun.
Concealer
Visible imperfections such as blemishes and acne marks can be corrected by applying a good quality concealer. After applying your CC cream, dab some of the Lakmé Absolute White Intense Liquid Concealer on the spots, blend well and you’re good to go! This way you will mask all the problems without putting on heavy makeup. That’s how you ace the base of a no-makeup makeup look.
Mascara
When you apply the right amount and formula of mascara it won’t be too visible, yet makes your eyes look dramatic and fuller. Take a volumising mascara such as the Lakmé Absolute Flutter Secrets Volumizing Mascara – Black and start at the base of your lashes, gently wiggle the wand up. To add more drama apply a second coat of mascara.
Lip tint
Instead of your regular lipstick, opt for a lip tint or a tinted lip balm such as the Lakmé Lip Love Chapstick – Strawberry to add a rosy tint to your lips. Go for lighter shades such as peach, pink and nude as these will complement your simple no-makeup makeup look.
Brow pencil
Other than your lashes, your brows too need to be highlighted to complete the look. Steer clear of very dark shades as they can make your brows look unnatural. Opt for shades that are close to the colour of your brows, and fill them in short, light strokes. A product like Lakmé Absolute Precision Eye Artist Eyebrow Pencil is an absolute must for anyone wanting to ace the no-makeup makeup look.
