The nude-or no makeup-makeup look is still firmly in the top trends this season, and that’s no coincidence. It’s perfect for the morning and any casual occasion, and so versatile that it can be transformed with just one change (as simple as tapping into your favorite red lipstick on your lips and cheekbones) into a minimal & sexy evening look!
However, the experts stress: don’t be fooled by its name. Nude makeup wants the skin to look its best, even, healthy, bright, rested but in the most natural, invisible way! This “asks” on your part to have the right base products in your wardrobe and to follow some little tips & tricks that will lead you to the perfect nude result!
Foundation
The first and basic step is proper skin care, which will ensure a hydrated, soft “canvas” for your makeup. Then comes the application of foundation in the “less is more” sense: apply your foundation only to the areas of your face that need coverage and blend well. You can use a brush or your fingers, making gentle patting movements so that the product becomes one with the skin – don’t forget that you want a fresh look. The makeup you use in such a look should have certain characteristics: it should be light, easy to apply, and give a natural, luminous finish. TINT’s Super Serum Skin Tint is the ideal choice because it enhances the skin in the most natural way, combining the action of a face serum with the coverage and light, luminous finish of a makeup. Airy in texture, it spreads effortlessly and becomes one with the face, giving it uniformity and wonderful luminosity.
Concealer
The same goes for concealer: use it to camouflage dark circles and shadows that make the eye look tired. Ideally, choose a clever formula, like our Just A Touch Concealer, which combines coverage with cosmetic care: it treats the delicate skin around the eyes, offering 24-hour hydration thanks to the hyaluronic acid it contains, while giving the ultimate natural coverage effect.
Eyes & Brows
Complete the eye makeup by applying a “quiet” shade of beige or light peach to give a little more light without disturbing the logic of the “nude” look, continue with your favourite mascara.
Eyebrows are “key” to a nude makeup: after grooming them, comb them (with a clean mascara brush), and apply an eyebrow gel that will gently accentuate their natural colour and visually fill in any gaps.
Lips & Cheeks
On the lips, a shade of pink or coral, depending on their natural colour, is the ideal choice. Caution: avoid the trap of beige lipstick – it may belong to the nudes palette, but it gives a “killed” effect on the lips (and the face in general) while what you are aiming for is for your lips to have a natural rosy colour. In our Lip2Cheek collection you will discover great natural shades, which you can also use on your cheeks offering a complete effect! Choose the shade that “copies” the color that your cheeks get when you blush and don’t forget good blending, it’s key for a perfectly natural result.
Feel like your nude look needs a touch of extra sparkle? Apply a minimal amount of highlighter high on the cheekbones, in light, dabbing strokes, under the brow bone and in the centre of the upper lip – The Right Light will seal in the perfect nude makeup look you’ve created with its gorgeous shimmer!
