5 game-changing makeup tips for a quick and minimal routine!
hey subtl beauty fans! welcome back to our channel. today, i’m excited to share five of my best makeup tips that have transformed my routine. if you’re someone who loves a quick, minimal makeup look and has dry skin, this post is for you. with just four or five products and less than five minutes, you can achieve a flawless look. let’s dive in!
use cream concealer as a foundation
one of my favorite tips is to use a cream concealer instead of a full-on foundation. this technique not only saves time but also prevents acne by allowing your skin to breathe. here’s how it works:
application: tap the concealer onto the areas that need coverage. this method gives you a smooth surface without the heavy feel of foundation.
benefits: it looks natural, covers imperfections, and feels like your skin, but enhanced.
i love how this tip has simplified my routine, especially as a busy mom.
opt for a cream lip and cheek product
next up, using a cream lip and cheek product is a game-changer. here’s why:
quick and easy: this dual-purpose product saves time.
natural finish: unlike powder blush, a cream product gives a youthful, glowy finish.
as someone always on the go, this product ties my look together effortlessly.
use bronzer and highlighter as eyeshadow
why complicate things with multiple eyeshadows when bronzer and highlighter can do the trick? here’s my approach:
bronzer: choose a shade just a few shades darker than your skin for a natural look. apply it to your eyelids for depth and dimension.
highlighter: apply with your finger for a strong glow and pop some in the inner corners of your eyes.
this method creates a cohesive, natural look with minimal effort.
clean your brushes with a dry brush cleaner
using a dry brush cleaner has been a lifesaver. it allows you to:
reuse brushes: quickly clean your brush between different products.
avoid mixing colors: ensure you’re working with a clean slate every time.
this little tool is perfect for someone like me who tends to use the same eyeshadow brush for everything.
apply shine control powder only on the t-zone
my final tip is for those with dry skin. use a shine control powder sparingly, focusing on the t-zone. here’s why:
avoids cakey look: this powder is thin enough to dull shine without making your skin look dry and cakey.
maintains glow: it helps control shine while keeping your skin looking glowy and natural.
living in a hot climate, i’ve found this product essential for keeping my makeup intact.
final touches
to complete the look, i add a little mascara and lip balm. the nars mini mascara is my go-to, and a subtl lip balm adds a touch of hydration and shine.
i hope these tips help you streamline your makeup routine and achieve a beautiful, minimal look. if you want to customize your own subtl beauty stack and shop the products i used, head to subtlbeauty.com. don’t forget to subscribe to our channel for more tips and tricks every sunday!
