WEIGHTLESS MAKEUP

Makeup is like setting the tone for a whimsical song. It can be conveyed as formal, like a wedding ceremony on a plain, green field. On the contrary, it can emphasize casualty, like a charmed tennis dress. Or, makeup can have a booming tone, like a simple colored shirt with lots of colored necklaces and bracelets. Studying tones is a great way to learn about makeup when you are first starting. Yes, learning about makeup can be very tricky for the first time. There are so many different colors of so many different makeup products to choose from. Where should you start? Let’s start with learning about who you are on the inside. Looking at the different tones, you may have stumbled across this guide and have the casualty tone. In definition, it may mean that you are someone who has a personality of simplicity and casualty when it comes to everything. If you are this person, this is a perfect guide to starting a weightless, elegant makeup look.

Skin Care Routine

Before we start with any makeup product, let’s begin with a good, skincare routine. Weightless makeup looks often thrive off of skin with a good skincare routine behind closed doors. Skincare is the ultimate backbone of a makeup routine, especially a lightweight one. However, skincare routines are extremely personal because everyone has different skin care needs. Start with defining your skin. Is your skin more oily, dry, in between, or sensitive? Look into either a Clarifying Cleanser for oily skin or a Sulfate-Free Cleanser for dry skin. Does it require a heavy moisturizer or a lightweight one? Consider either an Intense Moisturizer or a Light Weight Mineral Lotion. For in-between skin, you can look into a Regular Serum. If you have sensitive skin, consider a Water Lock Moisturizer. Is it prone to have more acne? Look into a Clarifying Mask. Asking yourself these questions is a great way to start your own skincare routine!

Primer

Primer is the base technique of having long, lasting makeup. When you are going for a weightless, makeup look, it is important that it lasts long throughout the day. When choosing a primer, consider looking for a Hydrating Primer. This will boost your skincare further!

Foundation And Concealer

Choosing a foundation can be a tricky step! It’s all about finding your right shade, and it may take a while to find the right one. Choosing a shade that is almost/ exactly your skin color is the best way, especially with a simple makeup look! Consider looking for a regular, Base Foundation. In addition, try to look for a shade chart when shopping for one! It will tell you that you may be a shade number. Shade numbers can range from fair skin with pink undertones to darker skin.

Concealer is not necessary to achieve a weightless makeup look, but you can certainly do so if you would like to! Concealers are an additional bonus for any acne, blemishes, and others. It depends on how you choose your foundation as well! You can consider a Brighten Concealer to emphasize parts of your skin if you would like to!

Powder And Blush

With your goal of a simple, weightless makeup look, try to only put powder and blush! Even though there are highlighters and bronzers, they may halt the simplicity and lightweight makeup look. Try to achieve the same goal as the foundation: using almost the exact skin shade for your powder. Consider looking for a simple Mineral Powder that will emphasize your face within your foundation! Try to look for the exact same shade, or even a little lighter shade as well!

Blush is a great, last addition to the powder step! The reason why choosing blush may be the best option rather than bronzer/highlighter is because blush has that natural, radiant look. Consider comparing your natural skin shade when choosing a blush. For example, if your skin is darker, consider a lighter pink blush. If your skin is fairer, with already pink undertones, consider a little Darker Pink Shade.

Eye Shadow and Mascara

Picking a certain themed shade for eyeshadow is the best approach to achieving a weightless makeup look! For example, say you want to choose a theme based on seasons. For the fall season, you may choose dark red/orange shades. For spring, you may choose dark or bright green/yellow shades. Choosing a theme can help bring the quietness of eyeshadow to life, rather than a booming, shining effect. Consider choosing a Mixed Color EyeShadow Palette to have a variety of colors to choose from when containing a certain theme.

A common use of mascara is to add eyeliner. This is a great way to achieve a makeup look. But, when achieving a weightless look, the best approach is to only use mascara. If you want your eyelashes to stand out, use the trick of applying the mascara in a squiggle motion from the bottom of the lash all the way to the top. This will ensure that not only is all of the mascara product in your eyelashes, but it will emphasize the boldness.

A weightless makeup approach completes an effortless, refined look.
