The ‘no-makeup’ makeup look continues to dominate beauty trends
New Delhi: In an era where skincare meets subtle glam, the ‘no-makeup’ makeup look continues to dominate beauty trends. The appeal is simple: radiant, healthy-looking skin with minimal product and maximum impact.
While it may seem effortless, achieving that naturally flawless finish requires the right technique and just a few smart steps. Here’s how to master the look in five minutes.
Contrary to what the name suggests, this trend is not about wearing zero makeup. Instead, it focuses on enhancing natural features using lightweight, breathable products. The goal is to let your real skin shine through while evening out tone, adding a soft flush, and subtly defining features.
The rise of this aesthetic is closely tied to the post-pandemic skincare boom, where healthy, well-prepped skin became the foundation of every look. Sheer formulas, cream textures and dewy finishes now take centre stage.
Great makeup begins with great prep. A hydrating SPF moisturiser or a strobe cream can create a smooth, glowing base without layering multiple products. Well-moisturised skin reduces the need for heavy coverage and ensures everything blends seamlessly.
Instead of full-coverage foundation, opt for spot concealing or a lightweight skin tint. Apply with your fingers for a natural finish. Focus only on areas that need coverage such as under the eyes, around the nose or on blemishes — and leave the rest of your skin bare.
Cream blush is the real gamechanger. A soft pink or peach shade adds instant freshness. Dab onto the apples of your cheeks and blend upward for a lifted effect. For a trendy twist, try placing blush slightly lower on the cheeks. Tap any leftover product onto your eyelids for a cohesive look.
What is monochrome makeup look? Here’s how you can achieve it
Defined but natural brows frame the face beautifully. A tinted brow gel adds shape and fullness without harsh lines. Finish with a light coat of brown mascara to open up the eyes while keeping the look subtle.
Complete the routine with a hydrating lip balm or lip oil. For a sun-kissed touch, lightly dust bronzer in a soft ‘W’ shape across your cheeks and nose. The result? Fresh, glowing skin that looks like you just a little more polished.
