In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to achieve a soft, natural clean makeup look, including natural looking eye makeup.


I will show this to you on one side of my face, you can compare both sides and see just how natural this makeup looks!


For this super natural look, I will skip eyeshadow and lipsticks. The goal is to ensure no one thinks you are wearing makeup!

Tools and materials:

  • Emulsion
  • Skincare products
  • Green corrector
  • Foundation
  • Contouring cream (optional)
  • Blush
  • Brow pencil
  • Concealer
  • Kajal pencil
  • Powder
  • Mascara
  • Eyeshadow (for extending inner corner)
  • Lip liner
Prepping skin

1. Prep your skin 

Begin with your regular emulsion and skincare routine, ensuring your skin is prepped for this no-makeup makeup.

Covering spots

2. Cover your red spots 

Apply a green corrector to any red spots on your face.

Applying foundation

3. Apply foundation 

With a soft, fluffy brush, apply foundation all over your face using a tapping motion. 


I want you to see that even with a lot of makeup, it can still look natural. Consider using a CC cream for a more natural appearance.

Contouring

4. Use contouring cream 

Contour your face using a cream contouring product to your cheekbones and above your brow bone.


Using cream products is crucial for achieving a natural look without extra powder texture.

Contouring

You can also contour just under your jaw line.

Applying blush

5. Apply blush … everywhere! 

Apply a super red blush (or something pinkish, if preferred) everywhere, including on your eyes. 


This gives a finished look and prevents the blush from looking like a random red spot.

Grooming brows

6. Groom your brows 

Use a brow pencil to add a bit of structure to your brows.

Grooming brows

Blend out your brows for a more natural look.

Applying concealer

7. Apply concealer 

Apply concealer to brighten your face, making sure to blend everything seamlessly for a natural appearance.

Brightening eyes

8. Brighten your eyes 

I said we wouldn’t use eyeshadow, but that doesn’t mean we will ignore the eyes completely. 


Use a kajal pencil on your waterline to brighten your eyes.

Applying powder

9. Time for powder and mascara 

Apply a bit of powder to matte the under-eye zone and forehead.

Applying powder

Also add some powder to the middle of your forehead.

Adding mascara

Use a minimal amount of mascara on the corners of your eyes to avoid a spider paw effect.

Extending inner eye corner

10. Extend your inner eye corner and your lips 

Use a fine brush to extend your inner corner slightly with eyeshadow.   

Lining lips

Overline your lips subtly, almost matching the color of your lips.

Blending

Blend it out with your fingertip for a more natural look.

Adding blush

11. Add more blush and some freckles 

Add a bit more blush to bring life to your face. Consider using cream blush for a natural shine.

Adding freckles

If your spots are not completely covered, dot on some freckles on top of the foundation for a no-makeup effect.
