Ways to Look Beautiful without Makeup do exist and they are possible, for anyone. Have you ever met someone who said that they never leave the house without makeup, even if they’re just going to the grocery store? Some women are scared to be seen with a bare face, while others think that they look terrible without the full works. Not only is that not true, but there are plenty of ways to look beautiful without makeup that will leave you feeling gorgeous and confident. Makeup is fun, but it shouldn’t be obligatory! If, for whatever reason, you can’t or don’t want to wear makeup, whether on certain days or at all, here are some great ways to look beautiful without makeup you should try.
SKINCARE
Let’s start with the basics. If you were wearing makeup, it would be important to prepare the skin by cleansing it. The same goes for makeup-free days. Urban life can leave our skin grimy and dull, so cleanse regularly to keep your skin looking fresh if you want to be a natural beauty! This is one of the easiest and most practical ways to look beautiful with makeup, just try it!
GROOMING
One tip to look beautiful without makeup is to make the most of your natural features. If, like me, you are ‘blessed’ with eyebrows that require constant plucking, keep them well maintained. Taking care of these details means that even without makeup, you look groomed and smart.
CONFIDENCE
As I’ve said, makeup should be a fun tool to play with, not a mask that we hide behind. If you feel that you look terrible without your makeup, then your lack of confidence in your appearance will show. Believe that you look beautiful without makeup, and others will believe it as well. Many of the ways to look beautiful without makeup have to do with how you feel about yourself, and this is just one of them.
SMILE
A genuine smile really does make anyone look great. People will notice your smile rather than any ‘flaws’ – and they certainly won’t notice that you’re makeup-free. Avoid a forced grin, as that won’t look at all natural, but let your smile reach your eyes.
NONCHALANCE
We all have days when we want to disguise dull skin or spots, but beware of using makeup to hide behind. So what if you don’t have flawless skin? I can guarantee that the only person who sees your skin ‘problems’ is you. Just don’t worry about it, there really are more important things to think about! Once again, one of the best ways to look beautiful without makeup is to have confidence in yourself.
COOL CUT
Having a fabulous haircut will definitely help you look beautiful without makeup. When you love your cut, you’ll look and feel great. Besides, when you’ve found a cut that suits you, it will become your ‘look’ and you won’t need cosmetics. You don’t need to spend a lot either, just find the right stylist (not always that difficult!).
NAPS AND NUTRITION
Many people don’t realise that the skin is our largest organ. It needs caring for both inside and out. To help it look beautiful without any makeup, feed it properly, with lots of water and vitamins. Also ensure that you get enough sleep and don’t overdo the alcoholic drinks – think how you look in the mirror the morning after! Taking care of yourself and your body is one of the most essential ways to look beautiful without makeup.
No, you don’t need mascara to bring out your lashes and make them look voluminous! There are actually other natural ways to pump up your lashes without reaching for that make up bag. One way to make your lashes look darker, fuller and longer is by combing through with a layer of Vaseline. Vaseline really is a miracle product! It could be used as a solution to almost any female problem, so why should this be any different?
BRING OUT YOUR EYES
You might feel like your eyes become dull and indistinguishable without any eyeliner or eyeshadow, but don’t don’t think that only makeup can bring our your eyes. Simply using eyes drops to wake up your whole face and make the whites of your eyes appear clearer can make the difference. You natural beauty can stand out without any artificial help!
MOISTURIZE
Cleansing your face and getting rid of skin dirt may not actually be enough to improve the condition of your skin, which is why it is important to moisturize it everyday. Even if you have oily skin, moisturizing can prevent your body from excreting excess oil and help lock in moisture to keep your the surface of your skin even and smooth. Always wanted your skin to be as smooth as a baby’s bum? Start moisturizing every day!
