Soft Glam - LOH #231

(Edited)

I believe makeup helps to enhance one's beauty, but when this purpose is defeated,, maybe due to the nature of the makeup, what then is the essence?

I appreciate makeup no doubt, but I'm not into the heavy or dramatic type. Nah! Simplicity is it for me, and I prefer a more understated look. Usually, my focus is to enhance my natural skin tone and features, rather than making a bold statement.

Thankfully I have a pretty cute face, so a slight makeup is just okay to make it glow up. However, there are days that I can go without applying any makeup, just like the photo below, and I'd look just fine.

Well, I am nothing close to being an expert when it comes to applying makeup, hehehe. But I still try to pull off some good face beat. Lol.

Talking about face beat, I've only had a professional face beat or complex makeup once. And that was during my childhood's wedding some years ago. I was her maid of honor so I needed to look glam, and I loved it.

Since I'm no makeup artist or even an expert, I do not have need for too much makeup products. I only make do with few makeup kit;

  • Facial wipes.
  • Liquid Foundation - I use Classic true color matifying liquid foundation, Shade 600.
  • Pressed powder - Classic or Sleek medium shade
  • Eyeshadow.
  • Lipsticks - I often use two two colors
  • Eye brow pencil.
  • Concealer.
  • Foundation foam.
  • Eye shadow brush.
  • Concealer brush.
  • Powder brush.

Achieving a natural glow involves a simple routine, though I do not follow it strictly.

  • Cleanse my with face wipes.

  • Apply little foundation - forehead, cheeks, nose and jaw. I'll then use the foam to apply it evenly on my face.

  • I'll apply the pressed powder with a fluffy foam, and then contour with a brush.

  • Occasionally, I carve my brows - not by myself o. So I'll just fill it in with the pencil. Once done, I'll apply concealer around it to define their edges and clean it up. Sometimes I'll just skip it this step.

  • Then comes the eye shadow, that's for days I feel like applying it.

  • Finally I'll apply lipstick.

Simple, easy and fast, giving me the pretty natural look, all day.

Thank you for reading.

Many thanks to @marivic10 for this week's topic.

You're right, makeups shouldn't make one look different from who they are. I appreciate you kind words, thank you.

As a makeup artist I like simple look that just enhanced natural beauty.
Your lip combo are cool.
But instead of using foam to apply your press powder try using brush. You will love it.
You look beautiful 😍😍

Awwnnn, thank you. 😘.
I love when makeup artists give their clients a natural look, not what I ordered versus what I got. 🤣.
Yeah, sometimes I use brush to apply pressed powder. Anyone I can lay my hands on, I use. 😂
Thanks for your support. Enjoy your day

It is really a cute face that you've got and it is the right decision you made to not apply heavy make-up . Sometimes these heavy make-up changes the appearance of those who apply it in a not so good way.

You're right. Makeups should enhance one's beauty and not change their looks entirely.

As a minimalist, I'm always for simplicity, always. It saves time and stress too, 😂
