The Taylor Swift signature no-makeup look oozes effortless beauty, as it possesses a certain natural elegance with a dose of brightness. It’s all about achieving that fresh-faced, glowing look but minimalist and focused on skin that’s healthy and glowing. Here are the steps on how to achieve Taylor Swift’s no-makeup look, from prepping your skin to applying the perfect products for that final touch.
Prepping Your Skin
Every ‘no-makeup’ look has to be founded on smooth, hydrated skin. Start with a thorough cleansing; use a soft cleanser that suits your skin type. Next, follow it up using a hydrating primer to keep your skin soft and moist all day long. Apply products that work with your skin’s texture and tone for the best base.
Choosing the Right Products
When going for a no-makeup look, the trick is to keep it light and natural. You want to enhance, not cover up completely—not the best option here. A sheer foundation or tinted moisturizer leaves your skin tone even yet transparent, and a little blemish concealer, in a shade that matches your skin, will take care of any small imperfections you might have on your skin. Would it just get you looking like you weren’t wearing makeup?
Mastering the Flawless Base
This look has only one prerequisite: a flawless base. Apply your tinted moisturizer or sheer foundation evenly and blend into the skin. A light hand and a damp sponge or brush will do for the ultimate natural finish. Touch up your concealer on spots that may require a little extra attention, like underneath the eyes or around blemishes. If it’s not needed elsewhere, don’t pile on with the product.
Achieving the Soft Glow
However, this look demands only one thing, which is the perfect base. Your tinted moisturizer or a thin foundation should be perfectly blended into your skin and not on top of it. Finally, for the final touch of naturalness, use a damp sponge to apply very lightly or a brush. Tidy up your concealer only for those areas needing extra freshness, like under the eyes or around little flaws. Avoid adding more if it is not required elsewhere.
Enhancing the Eyes
In terms of eyes, Taylor has kept it simple but striking. For application, a nude eyeshadow that matches closely to the skin is used to build intensity without creating too much contrast, before the use of a few coats of mascara to define lashes more quietly. It will give the impression of being long and thick, without a heavy weight to the lashes. Skip the eyeliner for this look to keep it soft and natural around the eyes.
The Perfect Lips
When it comes to the lips, choose a nude lip balm, a soft pink lip balm, or an all-natural lipstick that has a faint shine on it. In other words, the lips must look lovely and well-hydrated but without any stunning shades or heavy darkness on the lips. A touch of color is all that is needed to accentuate the lips, making them seem soft and kissable.
Final Touches
To finish off the look, set your makeup with a light dusting of translucent powder or a spritz of setting spray to lock everything in place while maintaining a dewy, fresh finish. Avoid over-powdering, as this can dull the glow you’ve worked so hard to achieve.
Conclusion
When it comes to hairstyle, the longest strands are supplemented with some natural waves. What do you think? Smooch it all good up, include your makeup, and spritz it with a few bits of luminizing spray or dust the whole thing lightly with translucent powder to set the whole thing into a dry finish but not overly dried. Thus avoiding over-powdering, as the lovely glow has already been so long in the making.
