As the days get brighter and warmer, it’s the perfect time to lighten up your makeup routine. Whether you’re getting ready for hot summer afternoons or just enjoying the gentle breeze of spring, a minimal makeup look may make you feel put together without sacrificing the comfort. My approach? Keep the base breathable, add a pop of tint, and let your natural features shine through.
My go-to base right now? The Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream. It is perfect for days when you want to balance out your skin tone without using a lot of foundation because it combines buildable coverage with skincare benefits. Though it feels lightweight, this Korean BB cream offers just the right amount of pigment to cover imperfections, leaving your skin looking flawless and natural – just better!
For that soft flush of colour, theBalm Stainiac is a true multitasker. A few dabs of this long-lasting lip stain applied to the lips and cheeks create a naturally lovely hue that is lightweight and lasts all day. It’s perfect for a sun-kissed hue that doesn’t have any cakiness or shimmer.
If you’re easing your way into warmer months, here are a few quick tips for a glowing, minimal routine:
- Hydrate, then prime: Use a lightweight, non-greasy moisturiser and a pore-blurring primer to create a smooth base.
- Skip the powders: Cream products melt into the skin and look more natural in daylight.
- Define softly: A touch of mascara, a brushed-up brow, and maybe a cream highlighter on the high points of your face—that’s all you need.
- SPF always: Opt for SPF-infused formulas or layer your favourite sunscreen under your makeup. I really enjoy La Roche Posay one that is so lightweight – like a fluid – and melts into the skin. It doesn’t leave any white cast and is perfect under makeup.
Your makeup look should not be about covering up; it should be about enhancing what’s already there. It’s all about embracing your uniqueness with a fresh, effortless glow. This look is ideal for spring brunches, casual afternoon strolls in the park, or even those video chats when you want to look refreshed and awake without much effort. It’s a simple yet stunning way to showcase your natural radiance.
Here’s to embracing glow, ease, and makeup that moves with the season.
