Enhancing natural features rather than altering them has become prominent on the runways, and is being translated into society more and more every day. This trend highlights the idea that a woman's face is beautiful in its natural state. The goal is to look effortlessly flawless, even though you did indeed put effort into your appearance. This minimal look can be achieved by incorporating these values into your skin, makeup, and hair rituals.

Start with the skin

In order to enhance your natural features, your routine must begin from within; healthy diet, water, exercise and sleep. Additionally, to achieve a fresh-faced glowing look, you must start by valuing your skincare routine first. You can begin this routine with an exfoliating cleanser that will remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin bright, and allowing for a fresh canvas for your minimal makeup. However, it is important to steer away from exfoliants that are too abrasive, since these will leave your skin red and irritated. Toners and facial sprays could also be helpful to remove any excess impurities and contribute to a fresh-faced appearance. Even if you have oily skin, moisturizing is a very important step that will assist in achieving a radiant and glowing look. If you consider skipping moisturizer, just remember that hydrated skin is healthy skin! Having dehydrated skin will ultimately lead to your skin recognizing this need and producing even more oil which will clog your pores and lead to breakouts and inflammation. A lack of moisture on a regular basis will also lend to premature aging of the skin which nobody wants.  Use a moisturizer with SPF to protect you from the harmful rays of the sun during the day to minimize any skin damage. Also, make sure to really massage the moisturizer into your skin when applying to encourage circulation which further contributes to a radiant glow from within.  Use a good night cream to help in keeping your skin hydrated as you sleep and it should be rich in key nutrients to help repair, restore and recharge your skin as you sleep overnight. Even if you’re looking to consolidate your beauty steps, it is very important to still value your skincare routine. In theory, if you have good skin then you won’t feel like you need to apply as much makeup!

Minimalistic Makeup 



When it comes to minimal makeup, the key is to utilize the makeup to highlight your natural features, rather than to mask your face. Following your skincare routine, you can start with a light-weight BB cream or a sheer foundation to simply even out your complexion and add some glow. If you feel that you need more coverage, you can use concealer only in these specific spots. For areas that you would like to highlight such as under your eyes, you can use a concealer shade that is slightly lighter than your skin tone. For any breakouts or problematic areas, you can use a concealer shade that is a little bit deeper to recede them. It is important to note that not everyone needs these extra steps, if you have naturally clear and even skin then embrace it! Next, to achieve a natural rosy glow you can apply a sheer cream blush that coincides with your lip color (adding a lip balm and lip gloss if needed). For even more glow you can add a liquid or cream highlighter to the tops of your cheekbones and any other areas that you want to glow (if you have oily skin you may want to skip this step). Now for the eyes, if you feel that you need a little bit of definition, all you need is a bit of bronzer in your crease, highlight in your inner corner and brow bone, and some mascara! Keep in mind that you can eliminate any steps that you feel like you don’t personally need, since less is always more in this case. Lastly, the eyebrows are always a focal point of natural looks. All you need is a simple brow gel with a slight tint to embrace your natural shape and fill in sparse areas. As mentioned previously, the more you value your skincare routine, the less makeup you will feel like you need. Makeup should only be used to enhance your natural features when you are aiming to achieve an effortless look.
 
Natural Waves for an Effortless Look 


Now for the hair, if you have hair that dries wavy naturally, then embrace it! There are so many different products on the market that aim to enhance natural waves. All you need is a sea salt spray that will add texture and give you defined waves, along with a hair oil that will nourish your ends and give you a healthy and polished look. If you love the wavy look, but don’t naturally have this, you can use these same products and a larger curling iron to achieve loose waves. However, no matter what type of hair you have there is always a way to embrace your natural look. For tougher hair types, it may take some time to find the perfect tricks to manage your hair, but it is possible for everyone! In this case, always try to enhance your natural hair before turning to heat tools.
