An increasing number of women today are opting for the minimalist makeup approach that has become popularized in makeup tutorials and complicated makeup-free routines. No, it’s not time saving – it is a lifestyle choice focused on skin health, confidence, and simplicity. Women living by the minimalist lifestyle often have some common habits and ideologies that allow them to feel put together without having to slap on layers and layers of makeup.
Here are 10 things shared by most minimal makeup wearers:
A Skincare Routine Comes First
The real skin is left to stand and speak for itself if no foundation is being applied to cover it up. Most minimalist women spend time and money getting excellent and full cleansers, moisturizers, and well-functioning sunscreens. The goal is to achieve a healthy ‘natural glow’ where the skin looks clean and well- hydrated on its own, making heavy makeup applications obsolete.
Effectively Shaped Brows
Most minimalists know that the surefire way to achieve that ‘done’ look with almost no makeup is by keeping the eyebrows in perfect shape. The shape of the eyebrows essentially frames the whole face and gives it structure. Instead of having to draw them in, some people may just use a clear gel or a soft bit of tinted brow mascara to hold the hairs in place, instantly making the face look ‘done’.
Care for the Eyelash
They may bring about an opening effect in the eyes or brush up less than a coat of brown mascara for a softer look. A lash curler alone is enough to open the eyes, much better than heavy eyeliners or thick eyeshadows. Many women also use lash serums to boost their natural lash growth so they can ditch false lashes and heavy pigments.
Extremely Selective Use of Concealer
Actually, the so-called ‘barely made-up face’ doesn’t ignore blemishes but in the least rather covers up the entire face in foundation. The standout methods in which minimalists concealed the flaws are: ‘spot-concealing’ small amounts of concealer, leaving the surrounding area bare to blend seamlessly into bare skin, for example, red spot or under the eyes. This would leave the rest of the skin free to breathe and be exposed.
Products that Serve Multi-Purposes
To just keep the job uncomplicated, these women often have double-duty products. You could dab a tinted lip balm like cream blush on the cheeks, or perhaps use that bronzer for a quick rush of color on the eyelids. This “monochromatic” look comes pretty simply but also very naturally and harmoniously applied.
High Value for Protection Against the Sun
You will scarcely find a makeup minimalist who skips SPF. The reason they use this method religiously is because they want to avoid the dark spots and premature wrinkles that makeup tends to cover up. A number of other people use tinted sunscreens that offer a very little amount of coverage combined with almost the maximum protection.
Self-assuredness into ‘Imperfections’
One of the biggest strengths that all such women seem to possess is acceptability regarding their natural features, which are freckles, few fine lines, or slight redness-“they are something that doesn’t need to be erased.” This change in mindset makes them feel totally beautiful and comfortable in their own skin rather than the ones who “hide” behind this mask.
Simple Mornings
Most of the time, it is something that saves one-the full glam routine would take about 45 minutes, whereas 5 minutes would be the maximum for a minimal routine. This would mean a longer sleep, a slower morning coffee, or a quick workout. Most of all, it means freedom that comes with a routine that can be done in a car or a gym locker room.
Cream Formulations A Lot of Times
Minimalist make-up is mostly about creams. It would melt more into the skin and appear to be real texture, while ‘cakey’ or lying on the surface of the skin can often be caused by powders. Cream blushes and highlighters would give that ‘lit-from-within’ look, which is mostly what people associate as a hallmark of true natural beauty.
Enhanced Skin Health over Time
They are very much astonished to see that their skin improves over time without applying heavy waxes and oils every day. So, their skin is breaking out less, is less irritated, creating a positive cycle: The more good skin looks, the less she feels she should wear makeup.
