Barefaced beauty
The no makeup makeup look has now become more than just a trend. Find out how to master it with these tips.
THE “no makeup” makeup look has taken the beauty world by storm and it’s hugely popular on fashion runways to editorials.
Why is this simple, barefaced makeup trend so hot? It’s doable and it makes you look like a better, healthier version of yourself.
“But, the trickiest part of doing this makeup is not using less products, but more instead to cover blemishes and undereye dark circles so that your complexion looks flawless,” says Ummi Nasir, 32, freelance makeup artist and trainer.
“Most of the time, people may think that makeup products are meant to conceal and hide the flaws of their skin. But actually, they are meant to enhance women’s natural beauty, that is why this no makeup makeup trend is here to stay,” says Venyce Lim, 31, assistant training manager for Mamonde Malaysia.
“This look suits everyone regardless of skin tone, the trick is in finding the right shades and applying the right amount to make you look fresh and lively,” Lim adds.
For a natural looking complexion Ummi says finding the right foundation is key.
“Instead of relying on swatches of colour on your skin, try applying the sample foundation full face. Leave it on for about an hour then if you see that your face doesn’t look darker or fairer then you’ve found your foundation shade,” Ummi advises.
