Achieving a Natural Makeup Look: The Ultimate Guide

It’s all about embracing the skin you’re in. Trends come and go, but enhancing your natural features never goes out of style—which is where minimal makeup delivers that fresh-faced, glowing healthy skin we all love.

Minimal makeup is the understated use of makeup to create a light, next-to-nothing makeup look that looks natural and soft using minimal products. The key, however, is achieving a well-prepped skin that gives you that hydrated glow which in return helps you use less product. Here are the quintessential steps to nail the effortless, your-skin-but-better makeup look.
