Help – any suggestions for a minimal makeup routine for a natural look? I have never worn makeup but have aged tremendously over the past 5 years and feel like I have to start. But I want to keep it simple and natural. I would rather skip the foundation.
You don’t even need foundation, you’re so pretty! I’d say if you want to amp it up a bit maybe some blush, a coat of mascara, some eyebrow gel, and lastly a little lip balm/gloss and you’d be set to go.
You have beautiful skin!
You are beautiful!
Hmm tbh u look nice without it. I feel the gothic aesthetic would look cool on u tho.
Your skin is great! You could use some concealer just for highlighting under the eyes, bridge of nose and/or spot treatment. mascara (I like essence because it’s cheap) and tinted brow gel and a lip gloss would give you a nice glowy youthful look 🙂 (also aging where??) lol
It’s amazing what a little bit of the right blush, a tiny sweep of mascara, and some lip balm can do for a low maintenance look! Make sure you pick a color matching subtle blush and it’ll wake your face up.
You look amazing by the way. A little blush/ highlight contour goes a long way to look more lifted. You can try regular contour blush counter or reverse contour they all look a bit different. I think you will like blush contour in a nice pink. Pop on a pink balm like dior that color matches and a lengthining mascara and you could be ready in 5 minutes and look like you but refreshed.
Some ideas on colors/ brands:
Tarte blush in doll face
Dior lip glow in 001 pink
Champagne highlighter in a fine sparkle Becca makes my favorite
Cream blush looks very natural and can add youthful glow, plus you only need a tiny bit per application. A little mascara would open up the eyes a bit and you’re good to go! You’re skin is very nice, so I agree you don’t need any foundation too!
