Most of us want to embrace our natural self during Ramadan, and the “no makeup makeup” look is the trendiest and easiest way to achieve this. Learn how to master a “no makeup” makeup look in a few simple steps, plus get new ideas and tricks using only a few products to make sure the daily fast doesn't take a toll on looking your best.
STEP 1:
Apply 1-2 drops of the Hydro Grip Primer from Milk Makeup on clean skin. For an all-day hold, let the skin completely absorb the formula for one minute to activate the grip. This primer acts as a perfect base for your foundation, giving it a smooth and long-lasting look.
STEP 2:
Sephora Collection’s Best Skin Ever Concealer is the perfect solution for tired looking eyes this Ramadan. Apply a very small amount under the eyes to camouflage and smooth out dark circles. Make sure to select a shade that matches your natural skin tone. Use our Best Skin Ever Shade Finder to help you find the perfect shade.
Tip: Cover the inner and outer corners of your eyes to illuminate the whole face and get a lifted effect.
STEP 3:
If you’re looking for a little extra coverage, Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream from IT Cosmetics provides full, flawless coverage and protects skin with SPF 50+ with added hydration & anti-aging benefits. The breakthrough formula does not crease or crack and instantly covers imperfections including dark spots & redness creating an airbrushed look.
Tip: Use a damp Beauty Blender to help blend the CC cream into your skin.
STEP 4:
Draw effortless nude color all over the face with Nudestix: Nudies Matte Blush & Bronze for a fresh, natural, youthful ‘no-makeup makeup’ look, with this dual-ended, soft color balm and blending brush for cheeks, eyes and lips. We recommend the sun-kissed shade. Just draw directly on skin, dab softly with fingers or stipple nude color with the brush provided.
PRO Tip: You can also go for the NARS Liquid Blush as another option to achieve a natural-looking, second-skin finish
STEP 5:
Use the Laura Mercier’s Translucent Loose Setting Powder to set the makeup. Focus on the oily areas of your face, as this powder absorbs oil and maintains the shine all day.
STEP 6:
Anastasia Beverly Hills: Brow Wiz, is a super-fine mechanical brow pencil complete with a spooley brush made to fill in sparse brows for a naturally full brow effect. You can also use this pencil, instead of an eyeliner, to draw a light line on the outer corners of the eyes and get the simple ‘cat eye’ look.
Tip: In the end, you can use the pencil to apply fake freckles and get a cute natural look.
STEP 7:
Get an extravagant lash look with just a few brush strokes of the Sephora Collection’s Size Up Mascara from the All Eyes On My Sized Up Purse. This ultra-buildable and long-lasting vegan formula allows you to take your lashes from friendly to fierce. The hourglass-shaped brush attends to each and every lash for a fast, volumizing effect.
Tip: After the mascara dries, press together the lashes at the outer corner to get the cat-eye effect.
STEP 8:
The Gloss Bomb Cream Doubletake Lip Duo Set from Fenty Beauty is a must-have. Lips look instantly fuller and smoother, with this non-sticky formula that is super shiny.
