HOW TO PULL OFF THE ‘NO MAKEUP’ MAKEUP LOOK
Looking your best natural self does not require expensive skin treatments or regular trips to the salon. The secret lies in confidently using a few essential makeup products to sport the barelythere makeup look.
The country’s leading cosmetics brand, Ever Bilena, shares some useful tips and products to keep in your makeup kit. Tip No. 1: Wash, rinse, moisturize
To truly achieve the allnatural makeup look, skip the foundation. Instead, prep skin by cleansing with your preferred facial wash then exfoliate to brighten and smoothen your complexion. Finish off with a moisturizer and sunscreen so that your face is protected and fully hydrated.
Tip No. 2: Conceal The trick to a healthy and fresh complexion is spot-concealing any blemishes and redness using your concealer brush. However, for dark circles, use your ring finger to pat on the concealer as it has the lightest pressure.
Tip No. 3: Groom brows and lashes.
One way of opening up the eyes is by grooming the brows. This way, you only need to brush up the brow hairs using a spoolie or brow mascara and you’re good to go. Add definition to the lash- es with mascara.
Tip No. 4: Choose shades that are close to your skin color.
For bright, wide-awake eyes, apply eye shadow that’s close to your skin tone. Gently apply shadow from the lash line and blend upwards, fading as it gets closer to your brow.
For cheeks, use cream blush to give a natural-looking glow. With a synthetic brush or your fingers, apply blush on the apples of the cheeks and blend upward toward hairline.
Tip No. 5: Go for Ever Bilena’s Matte Nude Lipstick.
To complete the barelythere makeup look, swipe on a good nude lipstick. Ever Bilena has a new line of matte nude lipsticks infused with antioxidants and moisturizer so lips feel soft, smooth and supple despite the matte formula. Priced at P165, it comes in six colors, namely Dolce, Amore, Fia, Belissima, Caramello and Baci.
