Without any boring sayings of Captain Obvious about proper nutrition, an active lifestyle and daily self-care, which everyone is already tired of!
Today we will figure out how in the "here and now" mode, with the help of make-up, emphasize your natural beauty and refresh your skin as much as possible. Whether you are a student or a great-grandmother, it doesn't matter. Without any bright accents. Each of you will be able to repeat such makeup, there is nothing complicated in it.
1. Refreshing the look
The most important thing in a refreshing makeup is to hide the bruises under the eyes. Without this item (if you have "active color nuances" under the eyes) no fresh image can be achieved, no matter what you do.
If you are among those lucky women whom nature has saved from bruises or bags under the eyes, go straight to the second point.
For the best (and most importantly - invisible) for bruising, I use a concealer first, then a concealer under the eyes.
I have a proofreaderFlovera in shade 02, it has a pink undertone. It masks bruises well and gives a fresh look. I apply it with my finger in a thin layer, as if driving the product a little, and only on the color nuance, I don't go beyond its borders.
After the concealer, I apply concealer. I loved Essence Camouflage +, it does not dry the skin under the eyes, medium density and medium pigmentation.
I apply it in a thin layer, just go slightly beyond the bruise and fade the border. If there is redness, for example, on the wings of the nose, I also remove them with this concealer: I apply quite a bit with movements from top to bottom, because I have dry skin in this area. For those who have enlarged pores and oily skin, I advise you to try applying a tone or concealer in a circular motion, thus you kind of "polish" the pores, they will become less noticeable.

2. Even out the complexion
Item with tone is also optional and according to need. If you have good skin and do not want to overlap it, then feel free to skip this point too, go to the next.
Lately, I have grown fond of the tone Rimmel match perfection in shade 100 ivory. It adjusts slightly to skin tone, medium overlap, does not dry out, has a natural finish.
Suitable for normal, dry and even oily skin. A versatile and high quality item!
Recently, I like to apply tone with a damp sponge. For me it is much faster, the coating is not very dense. If I have time to "tinker" with makeup, then this tone is perfectly applied with a brush.
3. Blush
Without this item, whatever one may say, but you will not be able to get a refreshing makeup. Even if you hide the bruises, the icing on the cake should be blush. They refresh and give youth like no other.
My favorite lately is a cream blush Flovera in shade 01. They need to be just a drop on the apples of the cheeks and blend with a brush, slightly bringing them to the temple for an additional lifting effect. I will definitely go over the eyelids with the remains on the brush for an even more fresh look.
4. A drop of tan
A drop of bronzer will not be superfluous in fresh makeup, the main thing here is not to overdo it and not paint yourself orange stripes on the periphery of the face.
If you have a tanned face and at the same time you have not applied the tone, then partially this item can be skipped. And if the tone on the face is present, then the bronzer will not be superfluous.
One of my favorite bronzers is Physicians formula in shade Light bronzer. It is quite delicate, it is difficult to overdo it with it, but it is possible. Stunning texture and breathtaking scent of coconut, as if it were coated with expensive cold-pressed coconut oil.
I apply bronzer with a large fluffy brush to the protruding parts of the periphery of the face: the protruding part of the forehead, cheekbones, chin. Everything together looms in the number "3".
And that's not all: with a brush for shading the eyeshadow I apply bronzer on the eyes, namely, on the crease of the upper eyelid and slightly on the lower.
5. Refreshing shine
Shine (if he is in moderation) gives freshness to your look, the main thing is to know where to apply it.
I use a highlighter for a refreshing makeupMakeup revolution in shade Make an impact.
It has a pink base and golden shimmer. I apply it to the cheekbones with slightly polishing movements, to the movable eyelid (replacing shadows with it), slightly under the eyebrow and into the inner corner of the eyes.
6. Shaping the eyebrows
You can skip this point if everything is fine with your eyebrows and you have nothing to complain about. But if a light correction is required, we read everything carefully to the end.
I like to draw eyebrows with a pencil Vivienne sabo in shade 04. I do not apply it on the entire eyebrow, but only on those places where hairs do not grow or there is not enough density. After drawing with a pencil, I shade the borders of the pencil with a brush so that there is no graphicality.
My eyebrows are quite long and naughty, I always style them with eyebrow gel Art-visage. I haven't found a better one yet, and the price is ridiculous for a good product. It perfectly fixes hairs and lasts all day.
7. Eyelashes
I like to use mascara for a light and refreshing makeup. Eyeko black magic, it emphasizes the natural beauty of the eyelashes, does not make "spider legs", curls well and gives length.
For many of you, this mascara will be just a golden find.
8. The finishing touch - lips
I like to use lip fluid for a refreshing makeup Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in shade 09. I do not apply it on the entire surface of the lips, but only in the middle and lightly extinguish it with my finger, creating a light effect of "kissing" lips.
I could have left it that way, but I'll add, perhaps, a drop of lip oil Letual Fruit Nectar, it will give a seductive shine and a little more intense color to the lips.
Boys and strange young ladies who for some reason read all this and consider it their duty to leave a comment "oh I don’t use anything like that, I lathered with soap, washed and tinted eyelashes", you will never understand that light and refreshing makeup with an emphasis on naturalness is not a story about 1-2 cosmetic products.
I will tell you about the natural makeup of Instagram models in the next article. Many will be greatly surprised at how many products and manipulations it takes. This is the beauty of natural make-up - to do everything imperceptibly and as if nature rewarded you with beautiful skin and brought genes to perfection.
