"NO MAKEUP" MAKEUP LOOK


"Back to school" is the perfect time of year to try the no-makeup makeup look (if you haven’t already). It’s all about a fresh faced glow and letting your natural beauty shine through. It also feels lighter on the skin, allowing you to breathe a little easier and worry less about touching up throughout the day, something you will appreciate if you are a student. Carrying makeup around in your schoolbag all day as well as all your books? No thank you! 


FACE
It is extremely important to start off with a clean, moisturized face whether you're going for a natural look or a more intense glam look. Let your moisturizer settle for 5-10 minutes before applying any face makeup.
To get a glowing, natural look, a CC cream or a light coverage, dewy foundation does the trick perfectly! If that doesn't quite do the job for you, going in with a concealer to cover any other blemishes should fix that! 
When doing this makeup look, the aim is to look as least "cakey" as possible therefore to achieve this powders wont be missed!

EYES
On my eyes I used a small amount of concealer to cancel out any veins or "imperfections" on my eyelids. I then curled my lashes and applied a brown mascara to my top and bottom lashes. If your school does not allow makeup, maybe settling for a clear mascara would be the best option.

EYEBROWS
Luckily, I have never had to worry too much about my eyebrows, I inherited my dads bushy brows and for that I am very grateful! Here I lightly swept through a few strokes of an ABH eyebrow pencil and set it with an eyebrow mascara. For those of you with fairer hair you may want to consider filling them in that extra bit more, as long as you find the right colour to match, you'll have no problem.

LIPS
Easiest step ever! Lip balm.
Whether it is EOS or vaseline I don't not leave my house without one. Personally, I think a shine to the lip finishes off this look perfectly.

 If you are recreating this look but want something a little heavier, switching a CC cream for a foundation, no powder for powder, brown mascara for black and lip balm for a lip gloss or lipstick will help you achieve what you're looking for!
