Makeup artists and beauty enthusiasts alike eagerly await each season in anticipation of upcoming beauty trends. Due to the pandemic, this year creatives met the challenge of staying safe while still showcasing newer beauty looks. With that in mind, it is not surprising that the minimal complexion makeup look from last season remains timeless…so far! Let’s simplify: The “No-Makeup Makeup” look; the “Glowy” Complexion; and the “Glass Skin” Complexion.
Look 1: The “No Makeup-Makeup” Look
While “natural” is the word, makeup may still be needed for even-toned, “natural” skin. To achieve this look, we recommend using only an SPF-infused tint to prevent sun damage, and then, if more coverage is desired, adding a sheer foundation to create the illusion of beautiful, makeup-free skin.
Look 2: The “Glowy” Complexion
For an even more dramatic “natural” look, (as well as a heightened evening look), you may want to create an all-over glow. In order to achieve the “glowy” skin look, try adding an illuminizing liquid product to a sheerly applied liquid foundation; lightly use a dusting of translucent setting powder on the cheekbones, and then add an illuminizing powder.
Look 3: The “Glass Skin” Complexion
With the choice of so many cosmetic lines that have so many products that “work”, it is easy to create a “natural glow” so that the skin looks bright, healthy and illuminated. In addition to a foundation, if needed (do not add translucent setting powder), add a thin layer of gloss on top of the cheekbones, followed by a moisture spray over on the entire face to create an overall appearance of healthy, “dewy” skin.
