Greetings again to all this beautiful community that gets beauty in the simple. I am happy to be able to share with you a new publication and with it something that I love, makeup.
For some time now makeup has become a kind of therapy for me, I get distracted and I also drain all the stress when I sit down to invent a new makeup. On hive I have shared several, but all of them, quite elaborate and not at all simple. However, it's not with makeups like this that I go out on the street or that I use on a daily basis.
The truth is that I personally don't like to be loaded with makeup during the day, much less with the heat in the city where I live, so I only do it on special occasions. What I use every day is much simpler and more practical for me. And in fact, I need very little to be able to do it and feel comfortable.
I usually only use three products, two of them include several. My eyebrow kit, which includes pomade, shadow (works for eyes and brows) and color gel, I also have a small palette of lipsticks, which has all the shades I like (although I always use the same one) and a concealer. These products fit easily in my purse.
I always start by using concealer, if I could I wouldn't use it, but the truth is I have a couple of dark circles under my eyes that have been with me for years and they don't want to go away, so I don't have a choice. I usually apply concealer on my dark circles and the occasional blemish I have on my face, but in specific spots and just a little bit, in fact this makes it look like I'm not wearing makeup.
And to spread and blend the concealer, I use the best brush of all: my fingers. Or rather my ring finger, since this is the one that makes less pressure on the thin layer of skin of the lower eyelid, this time I put a little on my forehead, chin and dark circles, the idea is to look like I'm not wearing makeup, hence the idea "makeup no makeup".
Then I move on to my eyebrows, which is the step that takes the most time of this simple makeup. This kit comes with three brushes, the one that is a brush I use to apply color gel, this is to comb my eyebrows and give them a little shape, since they are always messy and I have some spaces without hairs.
Then I use the flat brush, this one with dark brown shadow to fill in the spaces and also to outline a little bit around the edges. This kit also includes a box concealer and with the same flat brush I correct what is out of place and that's it, with that step the eyebrows are ready.
I consider the eyebrows to be the most important part, in fact one can be using no makeup at all, but have the eyebrows groomed and we already look like we are. And I'm not the only one who sees it that way, as they say that "eyebrows are the frame of the face". However, this no makeup makeup doesn't end here.
In the same eyebrow kit there is a brown shadow, and a dual brush that contains a small shadow application, perfect for soft eyeliner, so that's what I use it for. Just a little bit of shadow to lengthen the look and give it depth. A step that really marks a before and after.
The last step for me is the lipstick, I always use the nude pink shade, it's a pretty natural color, and you can see that it's the one that is the most worn, because it's my favorite. This lipstick is great because it has dual use, I can use it for the lips, but also to give a little color to the face. I also used my fingers to apply it.
After putting it on my lips, I put the excess on my cheeks and nose, like a cream blush. I blend it to make it look as natural as possible and that's it. I use it because my skin tone is a little yellow, so I tend to look super pale, but this color that is soft gives color to my face, but not from. A was exaggerated.
Everything I used on my face is light, so it doesn't feel at all, I can scratch without fear of the makeup running and I can also wipe a tissue or napkin to remove excess shine in case I spent all day with it and there won't be any problem.
This is my everyday makeup, the best thing about it is that it takes only a few minutes to do, and I feel comfortable with it. I won't deny that a heavy makeup has its beauty and is also quite an art, but a simple makeup will always feel better and in my opinion it will look more beautiful.
