Highlight your natural beauty and look flawless with these simple makeup hacks that will get you out the door in a jiffy.

The year 2021 has all been about minimalism and highlighting natural features through subtle makeup application. From earthy neutrals to bright and bold colors, these tips can be applied to everything to make the look your own.

“Remember the mantra for this year is “less is more”. Time to switch up your makeup routine to express a different you.”

Natural Foundation

Makeup brands are constantly evolving to create a base that looks and feels like skin. Gone are the days of extremely dry, cakey and pigmented foundation. The rising trend of glass-skin and natural skin tone with just a hint of coverage is the perfect impact needed for everyday makeup. Demi-matte and matte foundations offer a non-oily finish and a seamless base that is long wearing and can be built up through the day as necessary. Let your skin breathe and natural beauty shine through with soft matte foundations for a fresh look. Also, only build-up the product where needed, like spots or pigmentation.

Rosy Hues

To get that dreamy K-beauty look, apply soft rosy colored shadow and blush to instantly brighten up your look. For a special occasion shimmery pink lids will do the trick. Build up blush around your nose and upper cheeks for a lifted and youthful look. Cream blushes are the best for this trend as they are the easiest to apply and control the amount of pigmentation you are going for.

Berry Lips

Lip stains and glosses are the perfect way to get that berry-stained lip. Lush, kissable lips are super trendy and do not usually settle in the cracks between the lips. For a wet like sheen, top off your stain or lipstick with a neutral gloss and ace that plump look. For a day long wearable comfort, use lip balms that offer hydration and just the perfect amount of color that works with every time.

Kitten Eyeliner

Liner has always been here and will be here to stay. With last year gravitating more towards graphic and bold eyeliners, this year keeping in tune with the natural makeup trend, subtle kitten eyeliners are the coolest way to embrace it. Cleaner and far easier to do, kitten eyeliner is applied by tracing the eyeliner along your lash line, starting from the center to the outer corner of the eye with just the slightest flick at the end. No more fuss about matching your wings anymore. The kitten eyeliner look can be done in seconds and defines your eyes in a much more natural way.

Pro Tip: For an evening out, switch to a darker shade of lipstick and simply wing your eyeliner at the end for a more dramatic and glam look.
