Beauty lies in the beholder’s eyes’ goes the old adage. We don’t deny that. But, a little make-up does no harm and the artistry of make-up artists can do wonders to how you look. And let’s face it, haven’t each one of us at some point googled images of our favourite actresses or models just to see them without that heavily caked-based make-up. And the results have baffled us or made us admire their natural beauty even more!
Whether it’s the smokey eye look you are aiming for or just the simple ‘kajal or lipgloss’ look, make-up is essential and getting the right look is something anyone can do with some expert advice. Now we tell you how to achieve that ‘no make-up’ look without even breaking a sweat.
Make up artiste of a leading brand Jenna Menard says, “Try to make it unnoticeable-even if you have to layer a liquid highlighter on top of your foundation to give you that “this is my beautiful skin not my foundation and highlighter” look! ” Jenna adds,” Natural fresh skin is easiest to achieve when there is variation in texture. Start with a foundation that allows the skin to look dewy then apply powder where needed. When applying blush, keep in mind this same idea can be used. Cream blushes are great to keep a natural finish on the skin while powder blushes can be used to vary the texture. Powder blushes with a hint of shimmer are a great way to have the best of both worlds.”
Creating a makeup-free look is all about the products you choose and your technique, so you can follow these tips to get gorgeous results without looking like you’re wearing anything at all-
■ Always cleanse, exfoliate and moisturise your skin, and use a different moisturiser in the daytime and nighttime. Remove your make-up before bed.
■ Apply a foundation that matches your skin perfectly. You can do this by matching your foundation to your neck colour rather than your face colour.
■ Pick a light-coloured cream, gel, or mousse blush instead of a powder - you’ll get plenty of pigment, but more sheer coverage. Plus, the shade will look more like a real flush than a blusher.
■ Pick a lipstick in a cream or semi-sheer formula that’s pretty close to your natural lip hue. It will emphasise your lips and make them look fuller without looking done up.
■ On the apple of the cheeks, apply a cream blush or a tinted blush that resembles your natural flushed colour. Use sparingly and blend very well.
International make-up queen Bobbi Brown says, no make-up look is not about having a completely bare face, but it’s about finding the most flattering, natural shades and formulas that work with your skin tone.
How it’s done: Apply concealer under the eyes, and in the corners where the eye area meets the inside of the upper nose. Next, apply tinted moisturiser or, if you need more coverage, use a foundation stick to even out skin tone. While smiling, apply a pink blush to the apples of the cheeks. Make sure you sweep downwards and outwards for a natural flush. Apply two coats of brown or black mascara, then sweep a sheer or tinted lip gloss or balm over your lips and you’re done.

As Bobbi says in her blog, “A strong brow, bedroom eyes, a bump on the nose-these are the features that inspire me. Beauty isn’t about looking perfect. It’s about celebrating your individuality.” So, go ahead and do exactly that!
