Maybe you don’t like tons of makeup, or that artificial mask of products on your face, especially when you are suffering from acne.
But a no-makeup look can make it work out for you. This trending look will cover all acne scars without hurting your skin and give you a flawless look in a couple of minutes.
Let’s check out these tips enlisted below:
1. Lightweight Base
For years, the foundation has been used as the sole product to give complete coverage to the skin. With the changes in the beauty industry, the foundation is now replaced with the latest lightweight products. You don’t need to apply foundation every time. Moreover, it makes your skin look cakey and creased. You can now switch to a lightweight base, as these are skin-friendly and more subtle products for flawless skin. Acne-prone skin needs more care and it’s better not to add unnecessary layers on your already irritated skin.
2. Mascara
Eyeliner, kohl’s, eye shadows, and whatnot. Plenty of eye beauty products is available for you now. Eye makeup can change your entire look dramatically. But, for the no-makeup look, you need to skip all these products. Just conceal your dark circles and any area you think needs to be covered. Then opt for any mascara of your choice (tinted or plain black). Mascara makes your eyes look bright and attracts attention towards them without overdoing it. Use the lash curler and remove the extra product with a tissue, and voila you are all set to go.
3. Neutral Blush
Your makeup is not complete without a hint of a blush. It gives you a fresh and delighted look. For people suffering from acne, neutral blush is a good idea. It covers up the spots and gives you a natural look. For a no-makeup look, neutral blush is the best option. Any color near your skin tone will do it all. Do not use shades of red. Use a light shade blush over your cheekbones according to your face cut.
4. Tinted Moisturizer and Concealer Stick
Moisturizer is a must for everyone. It keeps your skin nourished and healthy. A good quality moisturizer helps in regenerating skin cells. For a no-makeup look tinted moisturizer is very much in trend. It saves your time, money and gives you glowy skin. You can choose a Concealer stick for the same purpose if you don’t like too much makeup. The Concealer has good reviews for covering acne-prone skin. You can choose either of them according to your preference and skin type.
5. Correcting Mattifying Powder
Correcting powder is a must to give a finishing touch to your makeup rather than a no make-up look. The matt powder soaks all the oil and gives a smooth and even coverage to your skin. Matt powder can be used to mattify your lips too. Keep it in your bag and use it for a touch-up later. A single touch-up of correcting powder is enough to save your no-makeup look from falling out if you go out in the sun. It’s a boon for acne-prone skin as it soaks all the oils and sweat and covers the acne very efficiently. Always check out the product ingredients and go for the products specially produced for acne-prone skin. These products may not stop your acne but surely do not harm your skin or cause any breakouts.
6. Beauty Primer
Beauty primer is an additional option for a no-makeup look. Many people just go for Concealer for complete coverage. Using a beauty primer over oily skin prepares your skin for the additional layers. Use a hydrating primer if you already have dry skin. However, primer is optional, you can go for it if you have some skin spots and require more coverage to your look. Just choose the primer closer to your skin tone. It will hide your acne scars and small pimples, and blemishes.
7. Use Highlighter for Glow
A highlighter is a new tool in the makeup world. It drags all the attention to the good part and steals away the sight from your flaws. A stroke of highlighter is enough if you do not have your blush handy. Most of the influencers and beauty stylers prefer highlighters for the no-makeup look. It gives you a natural glow effortlessly. Apply a highlighter on your cheekbones, cupid’s bow, nose, and eyebrow arches. You can even blend your highlighter with the blush. This hack will surely make you stand out even with your acne. A right amount of highlighter is enough to grab everyone’s attention. Just avoid overdoing it.
8. Don’t Forget the Lips
Opting for the right shade that blends well with your natural skin tone is all that you need to understand for a no-makeup look. Choosing the nudes or the lighter shades of pink or natural pink to be precise, are the correct choices for a no make-up look. You can go for lip balms with tint. They keep your lips moisturized and give them a natural look. Lip gloss works wonders.
If you are facing a bad day with too many breakouts, then go for a darker shade to highlight your lips and move the focus towards your lips. It’s a great hack, totally tried and approved.
9. Set and Seal
This step is also an optional one for a no-makeup look. But for acne-prone skin, it may help a bit. The settings spray holds the makeup for a longer time. It absorbs all the oils, extra shine and gives a smooth texture to your skin. But before choosing anything like this product you must check out for any irritants in the ingredients list thoroughly.
