Minimalist Makeup – Nude Is In!

December 2, 2008




The art of wearing makeup requires a lot of skill and patience. Makeup can be light and heavy, depending on the choice of the wearer and the need of the hour. One of the best and most attractive ways to wear facial makeup is to wear it in a way that makes it look as if you have no makeup on at all. Essentially, less is more. This is called minimalist makeup.

Minimalist makeup is easy as long as you know what to look for. The first thing you should have is “invisible” makeup products. These are cosmetics which are specifically designed to look as natural as possible on your skin. These often work very well to create a very fresh look on your face. The sheer cosmetics help to highlight your best features. The first thing to go for is the foundation. These foundations, resemble the natural skin tone very closely, and make you naturally look as if you have gorgeous porcelain skin.

Another trick is to use a light tinted moisturizer instead of a foundation. These lightly tinted moisturizers will help protect and hydrate your skin, while adding a very light natural touch of color as well. Like foundations, these can also be worn under your makeup. Highlighting your lips is a very essential part of your beauty regime. A clear lip gloss or a nude and natural color of lipstick produces a bit of sheen on your lips. You can highlight your eyes in the same way. You can simply use a color that shades your eyes slightly.

Choose two to three eye shadow colors which closely match the skin tone of your own eyeshades. The same technique can be used with your blush. Put the lighter color of blush on the cheekbone itself, and put a slightly darker color under the cheekbones leading back towards the ears. This will help accent the slight shadow under your cheekbone, and make your face look thinner naturally.

With the nude look ‘in’, you don’t have to buy special cosmetics and makeup in order to achieve this same look. All you have to do is choose cosmetic colors which closely match your skin tone.
