Being a beauty blogger, I am always expected to be all made
up with absolute blemish free skin achieved with tones of makeup products on my
face. However, the reality is completely opposite to this. I hardly go out with
full face of makeup products. I am a strong believer of bare minimum when it
comes to makeup. Fresh and glowing complexion with skin imperfections peeking
through is my go-to makeup look. The more temperature rises, the less products
I use and higher the SPF goes. And to be honest, one cannot go wrong with
simple and fresh look ever.
Today I will be sharing with you all the steps to achieve my
go-to look although there aren't many steps involve. Only few products are used
and multi-task products are my companions here. The inspiration for this post
came from the Glossier and their beauty product. The whole idea is to use less but clever products to enhance natural
beauty without masking it.
Step
1: Primer
Primer is the best friend of oily skin. My favourite primer
for a very long time is MAC prep + prime skin visage. This is a special effect
light reflecting silicon base primer which instantly minimize the appearance of
pores, keep skin oil at bay and makes my foundation last longer than usual. It
also revives dull complexion and gives a healthy glow to the skin.
Step
2: Tinted Moisturiser & Lightweight Concealer
Tinted moisturiser is a perfect choice for everyday makeup.
Tinted moisturiser evens out skin tone without looking cake-y. My recent favourite is Caudalie Vinoperfect
radiance tinted moisturiser. It gives sheer to medium coverage. It has SPF 20
which is essential element for me. To go along with tinted moisturiser, I dab
few dots of Maybelline fit me concealer under my eyes. It’s gel like
consistency conceals any discolouration under eyes and still looks very natural.
Step
3: Blush
Cream blushes are my another favourite product for achieving
fresh glowing cheeks. I love the Maybelline dream mousse blush. It is easy to
use and melts into skin for flawless finish.
Step
4: Tinted Eyebrow Gel
One swipe of Rimmel eyebrow gel and I am all set to go. It
tames down any stray hair, tints and groom eyebrows. No need for eyebrow pencils
or pomades as we are keeping the whole look very natural.
Step
5: Tinted Lip Balm
Benefit lip balm is my must have product. I carry it
everywhere with me even if I wear other product initially. Moisturise lips with
a tiny hint of colour is all you need for instant boost.
Step
6: Mascara (optional)
For wide awake eyes I really love MUFE smoky lash mascara.
It separates lashes and gives a control amount of volume.
Step
7: Powder
I set all my makeup in place with Hourglass Ambient powder
in Dim light. An excellent product to finish and polish the whole look.
A few spritzes of my favourite perfume Dior Ja’dore and I
am all set to start my day.
Can I suggest something? Why don't you keep the background plain and pure white, you pictures will stand out more. Try it. Your photography is great and so is the blog post =D
