Tips for Crushing a Minimal Makeup Routine

  1. focus on skin care: start with a well-moisturized and primed face to create a smooth canvas for your makeup.
  2. use multipurpose products: opt for products that can serve multiple purposes, like a lip and cheek tint or a tinted moisturizer with SPF.
  3. keep it light: use lightweight, breathable products that enhance your natural beauty without feeling heavy.
  4. highlight and contour lightly: use a subtle highlighter and contour to define your features without looking overdone.
  5. embrace your natural brows: lightly fill in and brush your brows to enhance their natural shape without making them look overly defined.
  6. neutral eyeshadow: stick to neutral eyeshadow shades that complement your skin tone for a soft, natural look.
  7. mascara only: skip the eyeliner and opt for just a coat or two of mascara to define your eyes.
  8. blush for a healthy glow: use a soft blush to give your cheeks a natural, healthy flush.
  9. sheer lip colors: choose sheer or nude lip colors that enhance your natural lip shade.
  10. set with a light powder: use a translucent setting powder to keep your makeup in place without adding extra coverage.
  11. hydration is key: keep your skin hydrated throughout the day with a facial mist.
  12. keep it simple: stick to a few key products that enhance your features rather than a full face of makeup.
  13. blend well: always blend your makeup well to ensure there are no harsh lines or patches.
  14. minimal touch-ups: carry a small makeup bag with essentials for quick touch-ups on the go.
  15. natural lighting: apply your makeup in natural light to ensure it looks good in all settings.
