Whether you want to look glam in a way that’s a little more practical for a day out, want to make a big impression without overdoing it, or simply want to spend less time working in front of the mirror, there are plenty of tools making bold low-makeup and even no-makeup looks much easier. Here, we’re going to look at some of the best tools and how to make the right use of them.
Get That Glow From Within
A look that really pops starts with the glow from within. We’re talking about luminous-healthy looking skin. Rather than starting with a heavy foundation, give your skin a natural glow with hydrating serums, dewy moisturizers, and illuminating primers that give your skin a sheen that looks fresh rather than caked on. Adding a subtle highlighter to cheekbones, the bridge of the nose, and the cupid’s bow enhances definition with a lit-from-within effect. Try to aim for highlights rather than full coverage, letting your natural complexion shine through beautifully.
Sometimes, A Bold Lip Is All You Need
If you’re able to push the boat out with a little makeup, then sometimes all you need is the right touch to your lips. Rich reds, deep berries, or modern nudes instantly elevate any outfit, drawing attention without heavy makeup. To keep the focus on lips, pair them with minimal skin products and soft eye definition. With the help of long-wear formulas, lip liners, or the right matte or satin finish, you can make sure that your lips stay vibrant for the whole evening. Bold lips create drama without too much effort, so if you only have the time for one touch, that’s the one you should make.
Long-Lasting Drama With Lash Extensions
Of course, you save a lot of time if you put the work into your look before you set foot in front of the mirror. Lash extensions from Pretty Lashes are a fantastic secret weapon, giving you the impact of voluminous lashes without the need for mascara or eyeliner. You can get fuller, longer lashes that frame the eyes, and wear them day after day with minimal need for touchups. If you pair the right lash extensions with the right lip, then you might not need anything else.
The Little Accents That Do A Lot Of Work
If you want just a little bit of extra polish, you’re not going to need a whole contour kit, but just a few touches to bring out your natural features. A touch of bronzer along the hairline and jaw adds warmth, while cream blush creates a healthy flush. A swipe of highlighter on the high points of the face catches light beautifully, giving the impression of sculpted features without heavy layering. These small touches keep your makeup breathable, allowing for easy touch-ups without leaving you feeling weighed down.
If you dislike makeup or just hate how much time it takes, make note of the tips above. You can still get the big, beautiful, bold look you want without having to whip out the entire arsenal.
