The month of love is already here, and we have started celebrating the most loved week of the month. All the girls must be excited for the day out all dolled up. Now, what better way to embrace this week than with a soft natural, and glowy makeup-no makeup look? February is all about good weather with a cold breeze hitting you softly, and you should be prepared with an all-natural makeup look that will enhance your features while protecting your skin. Let’s try some tips to achieve that perfect Valentine’s Day glowing makeup look.
Give Love to Skin
Always start with your skincare routine! This should be the most important rule to look perfect. Before applying any makeup, your skin should be clean so that the makeup doesn’t look bad. Begin by cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt or impurities. You can clean it up with coconut oil or raw milk too. Follow up with a hydrating moisturizer to nourish your skin. Apply sunscreen after moisturizing your skin to protect it from harmful UV rays.
Lightweight Products for Natural Glow
Because all you are looking for is a natural glow, so opt for lightweight base products. These products enhance your skin’s natural radiance without making it heavy or noticeable. Always choose tinted moisturizer, sheer foundation and BB cream which provide light coverage. Even if your skin tone is uneven these products will even out it. Apply the products sparingly with your finger, focusing on areas that need a little extra coverage.
Take Care of Brows
Don’t make your eyebrows too dramatic. Go for a brow pencil and lightly make a stroke according to the shape. Brush through a spoolie brush to soften lines.
Use Lightweight Concealer
Use a lightweight concealer only where needed to conceal blemishes, redness, and dark circles. Choose a creamy concealer that matches your skin tone and blend it seamlessly into your skin using a small brush or your fingertips. Focus on dabbing the product onto specific areas rather than applying it all over your face to maintain a natural-looking finish.
Blend the Blush
If you want a youthful glow, go for a cream blush or cheek tint. Always choose a shade that mimics the natural colour of your cheeks. Do not go for brighter pink. Blend it onto your cheeks using your fingertips first and then dab it with a makeup sponge. Apply blush onto the sides of your forehead and on the nose. Blend it nicely for a seamless and natural-looking finish.
Go For Soft Mascara
Start by applying a lighter shade of eyeshadow matching your outfit, all over the lid, and then use a slightly darker shade of pink in the outer corner of the eye to create some depth. A sleek cat liner and a soft mascara will give you a rich and natural look.
Opt for Sheer Lip Color
Complete your all-natural makeup look with a sheer lip color that enhances your lips’ natural beauty. Choose a tinted lip balm, lip gloss, or sheer lipstick in a soft and flattering shade that complements your skin tone. Apply the product directly to your lips or use a lip brush for more precision, focusing on enhancing your lips’ natural shape and texture.
Set Your Makeup
Once you’ve completed your makeup look, set it in place with a lightweight setting spray or translucent powder. This will help to extend the wear of your makeup and keep it looking fresh and natural throughout the day.
If you’re spending the day with your loved one or just treating yourself to some self-care, embrace your natural beauty.
