As much as we enjoy being glammed up and high on dramatic makeup for date nights, parties, and special events, natural, clean makeup is favoured for everyday use. It is swift, sleek, and always seems sophisticated.
There’s something about clean makeup looks that instantly boosts your confidence. Natural makeup is the new glam, and celebrities all over social media are embracing it. It doesn’t take many products, but it does take a lot of blending. One must realise that blending is the key to beautiful makeup, and clean makeup is no exception.
How do you get a clean makeup look?
No makeup tutorial begins without emphasising the importance of skincare regimes; this is no different. It makes no difference if you have a 3-step skincare routine with cleanser, serum, and moisturiser or a 10-step skin care programme, but you really should have one. Use products that are appropriate for your skin and your daily routine. Choose fragrance-free skincare products; perfume can irritate your skin, causing rashes, acne, and other problems.
Starting off strong with healthy, hydrated, and moisturised skin has won you half the battle. The rest of the routine will become a cakewalk.
On top of that, all products from Kiro are infused with skincare actives to take care of your skin throughout the day. KirKiro makeup believes in no-nasties smart makeup that is thoughtfully crafted for all skin tones and skin types without having to worry about toxins and parabens affecting and irritating your skin.
The key to clean makeup is to go with less is more. Go for minimal makeup for a fresher, cleaner, and sleeker look.
Step 1: Eyeshadow
Using Kiro’s Longwear Brightening Eyeshadow Stick in the shade Peachy Gold, draw a line close to your lash line. Use your finger to blend the product into the rest of the lid. This gives your eyelids a little bit of gleam and will make your eyes look fresh and awake.
Step 2: Eyeliner
In the clean makeup look, eyeliners are utilised to accentuate the natural appearance of the eyes rather than to create dramatic cat eyes. Make a little wing on the outer corner of your eyes with the Waterproof Soft-Matte Eyeliner Pen. Using the lash line as a stencil, draw a thin line parallel to the lash line and join it with the little wing.
Step 3: Mascara
Use the Botanico Super Shield Mascara and lightly coat the top and bottom lashes to volumise and lengthen the eyelashes. The hourglass brush will help you reach the lashes from the roots to the tip.
Step 4: Compact
The coverage of the Botanico Timeless Matte Compact is medium to buildable. This helps to conceal any imperfections or minor pigmentation while keeping the makeup light and natural. Apply some product to the powder puff and softly dab it into your skin. Instead of swiping, dab the powder into your skin to get an airbrushed look, whereas swiping will leave uneven streaks and lines on your face.
Step 5: Blush
Bring a little natural colour back to your face with the Glow-on Blush Duo. Go for natural shades that go with your skin tone. The Glow-on Blush Duo comes with two shades packed in to give you an added advantage to pick and choose according to your liking. All the shades work beautifully with Indian skin tones. A single swipe starts from the apple of your cheeks to the temples of your face in a light dabbing motion instead of swiping to create a lift on your face.
Step 6: Highlighter
A highlighter, indeed! The highlighter, which is sometimes ignored in the clean, sleek makeup look, deserves more credit. It is important to closely adhere to the adage “Less is More,” because it is. The Prism Perfect Highlighter Duo combines two highlighter tones, Sandy Rose and Pearly Bronze, to give a natural, buildable glow. Pick one of the hues or blend both with a brush. Before applying the product to your face, make sure to tap off any excess. Apply gently to the highest parts of your face, such as your cheekbones, or mix a little highlighter into your moisturiser as an extra step before applying the compact to make your skin glow from inside.
Step 7: Lipstick
The Grand Finale! One that rounds out the appearance. “Nude Lipsticks” are all the rage right now, and the Non-Stop Airy Matte Liquid Lip – Nutmeg Nude is here to the rescue for every Indian skin tone. The ideal everyday nude lipstick to finish off the chic clean makeup look. Using the tip of the lipstick applicator, outline your lips with your natural lip line. Fill in the rest of the lips for a complete “Clean Woman, Clean Makeup Look.”
