Get the minimal look

Grace Sweeney

The days of caking our faces in foundation are long gone and a new makeup revolution is upon us. After years of full coverage foundations and heavy concealers, makeup enthusiasts are switching to a minimal look. It’s time to embrace your natural beauty by perfecting a minimal makeup routine that will leave your skin looking flawless.

For this look, the most important step is to start with a moisturising face cream that will hydrate your skin. A favourite for the colder months is the Kiehl Ultra Facial Cream.

Once the skin is hydrated, it’s time to add an undereye concealer. Use a pea sized amount of concealer and dab it under the eyes using your fingers rather than a brush for a more natural look. It cosmetics I Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer is perfect for achieving a minimal look. It conceals any darkness and keeps the under eye bright all day.

For foundation, choose something lightweight like the Aramani beauty Luminous Silk Foundation. You only need one pump of this foundation and should apply to the skin using either your fingers or a beauty blender.

Nobody wants foundation lips so make sure to add some lipstick. The Lancôme L’Absolu Lipstick in nude is perfect. Add some clear lip-gloss for extra shine!

Lift your lashes with the YSL beauty Lash Clash Mascara. Avoid smudging underneath your eyes by only applying the mascara to your top lash.

Finish by setting your makeup with a setting spray. This will keep your minimal look intact all day!
