How to achieve a no makeup makeup look

The "no makeup makeup" is a makeup trend that aims to enhance the natural features of the face, creating a polished and radiant effect without looking made up. It is a refined and versatile look, loved by women of all ages for its ability to highlight authentic beauty without covering or weighing down the face.

What is the no makeup makeup about?

The no makeup makeup is the art of applying makeup to look like you’re not wearing any. The result is an almost invisible look that enhances the strengths of the face with lightness and harmony. Unlike traditional makeup, it avoids heavy layers and intense colors, favoring luminous textures and natural shades.

In this article, we will explore the four fundamental rules for achieving the perfect no makeup makeup.

Skincare

A natural-looking makeup doesn't start with the makeup itself, but with good skincare. To achieve a fresh and authentic result, the skin must be well-hydrated, clean, and protected. Without a skincare routine, even the best makeup can appear dull or create an uneven effect.

The essential steps of skincare

In one basic skincare, there are some essential steps that help prepare the skin:

• Cleansing: Washing the face morning and evening to remove impurities and residues is essential for keeping the skin healthy and ready to receive makeup products.
• Hydration: Hydration is the secret to glowing skin. Choose a moisturizer suitable for your skin type to avoid dryness and maintain elasticity.
• Sun protection: Even if it doesn't show right away, the sun can cause damage to the skin. Sunscreen helps prevent signs of aging and keeps the skin young and healthy.

A complete skincare routine, perhaps integrated with a kit like the Daily Hydration Kit (composed of Concilium Day Biome, Concilium Night Biome, and Bioma Care Micellar), helps maintain healthy skin and reduces the amount of makeup needed for a natural effect. 

Texture glow and not matte

A common mistake in no makeup makeup is thinking that "nude" means without products. In reality, the base plays a fundamental role, but it must be applied lightly. The choice of textures is crucial: no matte or powdery effects, which risk taking away the naturalness of the face. The goal is to achieve a complexion. healthy and bright, never dull.

The right products for a glow base

To achieve a natural glow effect, lightweight textured products are recommended:

• BB cream or lightweight foundation: Even out the skin tone without weighing it down. The BBIM SPF30 it's an excellent choice for those who want a light and natural coverage.
• Discreet illuminator: Applied on the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose, and the Cupid's bow, a touch of highlighter gives brightness to the face without looking artificial.
• Targeted Corrector: Use the concealer only where necessary, to minimize dark circles or small imperfections. This helps to maintain a clean and transparent look.

In summary, for a no makeup makeup look, the base should resemble the skin itself: luminous, hydrated, and fresh. No heavy matte foundations, but an effect that gives the impression of healthy skin.

'The choice of shades that enhance, without exaggerating'

The colors used in natural makeup are essential: they must be soft and in harmony with the skin's undertone. The goal is to choose shades like beige, peach pink, or light browns, avoiding strong or too dark tones that could appear artificial.

How to choose the perfect shades

"When talking about colors for the no makeup makeup look, it is important to choose those that come as close as possible to the natural tones of the skin:"

• Foundation and concealer: Find a shade that perfectly blends with your skin tone, to avoid color gaps or “mask” effects.
• Blush pink or peach: The blush should be soft and well blended, for a "fresh cheeks" effect that simulates a natural flush.
• Nude and shiny lipstick: Avoid opaque or intensely colored lipsticks. Instead, choose a nude shade with a slight sheen or a tinted lip balm for a subtle yet radiant effect.

The soft colors, in line with the skin, provide freshness without being invasive, making the makeup seem like a natural extension of the skin itself. An excellent product to pair with your routine is the Balance Complex Mask, a balancing mask that helps maintain an even complexion free of redness, making the skin more elastic and radiant thanks to ingredients like cornflower water and organic macadamia oil.

The no makeup makeup is a sophisticated look that requires care and precision. Despite its simplicity, it emphasizes the strong features of the face and provides an unparalleled freshness. Following these tips will allow you to achieve a natural and radiant appearance, perfect for those who want makeup that is there, but not seen.
