The minimalism movement from art has traveled into our lifestyles and now is taking over makeup as well. People are cleaning out their homes from useless furniture and are sticking with the essentials. Many celebrities and socialites are seen wearing minimal makeup which is why it has become a trend. If you also want to try out the minimalistic face makeup look then we’ve got some tips for you.

Minimalist face makeup

Minimalist makeup is more like a no-makeup look where products are only used to enhance our features. Heavy foundations, glitter eyeshadows are all avoided in the minimalistic makeup look. Before applying any makeup it is vital to go through your skincare routine. The first product that you should put on your face is an enhancer, a cream that contains SPF along with a tint so that your skin is protected as well as hiding any blemishes or dark spots. If you feel you need a little more coverage then you can apply a little foundation sparingly with a blender.

Minimalist eye makeup

For a minimalist eye makeup look you need to stay away from glitter and bold shades, instead stick with neutral colors. Apply a brown shade eyeshadow in your crease that is similar to the natural shadow that forms on the eye. Instead of using a black eyeliner, opt for a brown pencil; it will give a more natural look. Finally, finish off your eye makeup with a coat of mascara.

Minimalistic lip color

Minimalistic lip color means that you cannot wear bright colors like red, crimson, shocking pink etc on your lips. Moreover, lip colors that have shine must be avoided. You need to decide from a neutral palette of lip colors. Remember always to exfoliate your lips before applying a lip color. You can also make a natural scrub for exfoliating your lips.

Always remove your makeup at the end of the day

No matter how less makeup you’re wearing, it's always important to take it off before you go to bed. Not removing your makeup can cause serious skin related problems and also result in a dull looking skin.
