How to put on makeup so you don't look like you're wearing makeup

If you don't like heavy makeup or prefer a more neutral and natural look for everyday life, you know the value of a makeup that doesn't let you know that you are wearing make up. And doing that is not too difficult. Check out the tips:

Take care of your skin

The first thing you should think about is your skin. When you remove makeup at the end of the day, is your skin smooth or blemished? Well-groomed skins do not require the use of foundation and concealer, so it is essential to always strictly follow the care recommended by dermatologists to keep your skin healthy and beautiful. So you can cut some of your makeup items and make your look more natural.

According to Tatiana Jerez, dermatologist and member of the Brazilian Society of Dermatology, maintaining flawless skin is not so difficult, but requires discipline. The use of nightly creams with substances that promote cell renewal that stimulate collagen, such as retinoic acid, combined with daily use of a moisturizer and of course sunscreen, is enough for most cases, particularly when started early and in a preventive manner.


If your skin has been damaged and has apparent marks, the solution is to seek treatment with a dermatologist and take better care of the skin. Dermatologist Daniela Landim explains:? The best treatments for the skin are: the fractional CO2 laser, besides stimulating collagen, also renews the entire epidermis, bringing luster, shine and a more defined contour; Filling with Hyaluronic Acid softens the grooves and reshapes the face, a great alternative for always looking rested, without dark circles and with incredible facial contour. Not forgetting the botulinum toxin, which softens the dynamic rulers and leaves light and youthful appearance. However, it is noteworthy that only under dermatological consultation the specialist will know how to indicate the most appropriate for your case.

Another ally of beautiful skin is water. Hydrate yourself by drinking at least 2l of water a day and invest in a high-water vegetable diet.

Still according to Tatiana, the worst mistake that women make regarding skin that can leave it stained is not using the sunscreen daily or using it insufficiently, with a single application in the morning. The protector needs to be reapplied before lunch and mid-afternoon every day. During an intense exposure, such as at the beach, we should reapply it every 2 hours. The sun is undoubtedly the biggest cause of blemishes and not adequately protecting the skin is the biggest mistake we can make!


Caprice on the eyebrows

Another important aspect that will help you carry less makeup is to keep the eyebrow always well taken, trimmed and cared for. Well-designed eyebrows do not require the use of pencils and other fillers, so your overall look will be cleaner and less loaded.

If you're not in the habit of going to the salon to take your eyebrow and want to always do it at home, check out tips from blogger Amanda Domenico in the video to make your eyebrow yourself:

An important tip is always to be careful not to narrow the eyebrow too much. The hair will not always be born again after it is removed and the tendency is to diminish over the years. Therefore, the ideal is to keep it as close to the natural as possible, avoiding leaving it very thin.


Make-up so it doesn't look like it's made up

To do this type of makeup, there are a few golden rules you must follow:

  • Do not use sparkling products or gloss, opt for opaque ones;
  • Do not apply more than one layer of products;
  • Dismiss the base whenever possible or replace it with BB cream;
  • Never stop applying sunscreen on the face.

By following these little rules, your makeup will look impeccably natural. Here's a step-by-step to make-up make-up:

  1. Cleanse the skin and apply your sunscreen;
  2. If your skin is dry, use moisturizer to avoid too opaque appearance in makeup;
  3. Apply a light layer of BB cream all over your face or skip this step if you prefer;
  4. If there are any stains you want to hide, use creamy concealer;
  5. Apply a light layer of creamy blush (very little product) to your cheeks with your fingers;
  6. With a large, fluffy brush, apply a small amount of mineral face powder all over your face;
  7. Fill the eyebrows with a brown eyeshadow and a beveled brush, but use little product to not get too marked? just fill in the gaps;
  8. Apply a layer of mascara only and be careful that the product does not stick the eyelashes to each other;
  9. Finish the make up with an opaque moisturizing lipstick.
