Sunscreen is one of the most important steps in your routine. So, make sure to not skimp it. Slather your SPF because ultimately it will protect your skin from harmful UV rays of the sun.

After your skincare routine, here’s a step that can make or break your no-makeup look. Prime your face to achieve a flawless base. Primer helps to reduce the appearance of pores which makes your skin imperfectly perfect. With primer, you have to use less makeup which is great. A mattifying, brightening and pore refining primer is a must-have in your vanity.

Substitute your foundation

It is all about substituting your foundation and going for alternatives. A multi-tasking product such as BB creams, tinted moisturizer or tinted SPF works amazingly well for hydrating the skin. Not only does it makes your skin looks dewy and glowy but also, provides sheer coverage which is apt for a no-makeup look. You can also use CC cream to correct your flaws like blemishes, acne scars and fine lines. Basically, something that kicks off your foundation and works best to smoothen your base is preferred.

Conceal it, baby

Well, concealer is not a necessity for this look but, if your skin needs it then use one. The best under concealers are marvelous to provide extra coverage to hide those blemishes and imperfections which your skin may have. Concealer is not a must-have product but, is definitely an as-when-needed product. The best and affordable options for concealers include Maybelline Age Rewind, Maybelline Fit Me and LA Girl concealer.

Illuminate & Glow

Your no makeup, makeup look is incomplete without a highlighter that sets you apart. It’s time to add that glow to your makeup look by using a baked or liquid highlighter. While there are hundreds of options available in the market, we highly recommend you try the best-baked highlighters of 2020. Go for rose gold shade for your highlighter and use it on your cheeks bones, jaw lines and cupid bow. The minimal and flattering effect of a highlighter cannot be neutralised by any other product.

Multi-tasker kajal

You don’t need ten thousand different products to create a subtle yet enticing eye look. Just grab your regular cream stick kajal and start with your creativity. Kajal can be used as eyeliner, eye shadow base and is perfect to get Smokey eyes too. Winged or cat eyeliner works absolutely well with no makeup look.

Blush, Blush & Blush

For a sumptuous no makeup, makeup look you have to rely on blush. Cream blush is a must-have to nail your performance in this look as it blends seamlessly into the skin and makes it smooth and soft. You can also use cream blush to add a hint of eye shadow to your look. Don’t overdo blush on your lids as it can lead to settled look above your eyes. Blush diffuses in your skin and makes it look more natural and homey.

Brows & Mascara

Nothing is more astounding than embracing your natural brows. But, if you are someone who has less eyebrow growth then, use an eyebrow pencil. The amount of difference that an eyebrow pencil makes is huge and you should do it to achieve an impeccable no makeup, makeup look.

Big lashes look drop-dead gorgeous and, for that, you just, need a voluminizing and lash lengthening mascara. It comes in handy and defines your lashes like no one’s business. The boss bitch look after applying mascara is next level.

Mist it and lock it

Your no makeup, makeup look is almost done. The last step includes locking everything. Seal it all in with a glowy makeup setting spray or, you can use Avene Thermal Spring water to lock it in.
