Office time, I am already running late, have to catch the public transport, and still have to apply the makeup! Oh NO! That’s how my day usually starts. With hundreds of chores to do in the morning, it becomes humanely impossible for me to have time for makeup. But not blessed with flawless skin, makeup is a necessity for me to look presentable in office.
That’s when I discovered how to do natural makeup! In this you apply makeup only where it is required and not the entire face. Now I can apply makeup in flat 5 minutes. This saves me a lot of time in the mornings. My office colleagues have also noticed my “new look”. It looks so wonderful and natural that they feel that I am not wearing any makeup at all!
Tips on How to Do Natural Makeup:
- Application of under eye concealer. If you have dry skin, use a moisturizer or eye cream before applying under eye concealer. Then you can take a concealer brush and apply it on the edge of the skin under the eye. Use a light hand. This may take approx 1 minute.
- If you have patchy skin or blemishes, use a blemish concealer. Cover those blemishes with a concealer brush. Make sure to use a light hand. Do not over apply it or else you will end up looking artificial. This should not take more than 30 seconds.
- If your skin looks oily, use a translucent powder to give your face that even look. If you have patchy areas, you could take some liquid foundation on your brush and blend it evenly on those areas. This will take about 30 seconds or so.
- If you are one of those who feel eye makeup is a must for you, go for mascara and eye liner. You can apply 2 coats of mascara on the upper lash line and then apply 1 coat of eye liner on the lower lash line. Do not reapply it as this may look too dramatic. To give a more natural look, go for black and brown shades of eye liners. This will take about a minute.
- If you want to use an eye shadow, make sure that you use a neutral color. You can blend the eye shadow color with your eyelid. However, let the eyelid color shade be more matte than the area underneath your eyebrows. This will take a minute.
- You can apply blush on your cheek bones with a blush brush. It has to be the minimum for that natural look. This will hardly take 30 seconds.
- The last part is to apply lip gloss. Let the lips be of natural color, just enhance them by giving them a thin coat of lip gloss. This will take another 30 seconds.
So that’s how just in 5 minutes you can apply your natural makeup and look great. People would love to “look” at you rather than your “makeup”. Try it and rediscover yourself. If you know more tips on how to do natural makeup quickly, I would love to hear it.
