Have
you always thought that you cannot be beautiful without makeup? Well you are
wrong. Here are ways to be beautiful without the makeup box.
Many
of us can’t even imagine our life without makeup. Today’s topic might sound
strange and even scary for many girls, thanks to media popularization of
unrealistic beauty standards. To be beautiful without makeup?! Is it even
possible?!
It
became our daily ritual to wake up early and put on our “beautiful” makeup
mask.
For
many of us it would be a big nonsense even to go to a supermarket with no
makeup on.
Media
often forces us to believe that a woman with no makeup on can’t actually look
somewhat attractive or beautiful.
In
this article, we don’t suggest that you completely let go and forget about
taking care of yourself; on the contrary, if you want to live a makeup-free
life, or at least to be able to have makeup-free days, then it makes sense to
put a little bit more effort into caring about the natural beauty of your face,
hair and body.
1)
Feel beautiful (even without makeup)
Yes,
first step to natural, makeup-free beauty is connected with your inner
perception of yourself – your self image. How do you feel about yourself
inside? It all depends on you. Try to feel beautiful. Yes. Right now, in this
very moment…Know that you are pretty!
If
a girl considers herself beautiful and is able to accept herself totally and
unconditionally, then the the whole world will feel the same about her. Yes,
it’s that simple!
But
if you don’t feel comfortable and confident about yourself with no makeup on,
try to adapt the new ‘natural’ image gradually. For example, while on vacation,
give your face a “vacation” as well, by using a minimal amount of cosmetics;
use only mascara and a touch of lipgloss.
2)
Your skin is your everything!
If
you decide to lead a makeup-free life, it doesn’t mean that you need to
completely let go of all skin care products. Nobody abolished daily cleansing
and moisturizing; these are necessary ingredients to the beauty and health of
our skin.
If
you used to deal with pimples by covering them up with tones of makeup – now,
your main concern is the health and beauty of your skin. Many skin problems are
actually related to the excessive use of makeup; skin tone becomes uneven
because of the reaction of your body on a foundation, concealer or blush.
If
you stop using foundation (at least for a while), after some time, you’ll
notice that your skin tone will improve and there will be no need of that thick
makeup mask any more. If skin problems persist, get a professional advice of a
dermatologist; it’s better to treat the problem straight away, than to put it
on hold into a waiting box.
Some
other tips for the beauty of your skin include: use facial masks 2 or 3 times a
week (choose masks according to your skin type), and exfoliate your skin
regularly (we are not only talking about exfoliating your facial skin,
exfoliate your whole body.)
Here
is one of our favorite skin care tips: splash your face with cold water in the
morning and in the evening for about 10 seconds. This helps to tone your skin
naturally and will also help close pores.
3)
Your beautiful natural eyebrows
Usually,
when we apply makeup, we often try to change the proportions of our face and
adapt it to world’s beauty standards, so that sometimes, we even forget how
pretty and unique we look naturally.
If
you want to minimize your daily makeup routine, then try to emphasize your
natural features. Let’s start with your beautiful eyebrows. Look in the mirror
and notice natural shape of your eyebrows, if you over-plucked them, then try
to grow them back (apply natural oils on your eyebrows every evening; use
castor oil, olive oil, coconut oil or burdock root oil) and then, shape your
brows once and for all with the help of a professional, or with the help of
youtube.
If
your eyebrows are too light and you usually draw them with a pencil, try a
semi-permanent brow coloration in a salon instead. This will look more natural,
so that your makeup-free face with well defined and beautiful eyebrows will instantly
look more attractive.
Here
is another tip on how to make your natural eyebrows grow: apply a mixture of
castor oil and sweet almond oil on our brows every evening before going to
sleep; do it for one or two months and see wonderful results!
4)
Be transparent
When
we are talking about beauty without makeup, it doesn’t mean that we should
completely ignore all the beauty industry and forget about all cosmetic
products.
There
are some great products on the market that can help you emphasize your natural
beauty, such as eyebrow gels and transparent mascaras for your eyelashes, chap
sticks, lip balms and lip glosses with no or a little bit of color; these
nourish your lips and make you look fresh, natural and beautiful.
5)
Healthy eating and water
Good
food is important not only for the beauty of our skin, but also for the overall
health of our body. We are what we eat, therefore healthy and balanced diet
should be our faithful, lifelong friend.
Make
sure you eat fresh fruits and vegetables every day, as well as healthy fats and
proteins; these are so important for our beauty.
And,
of course, our best friend is water! Try to drink about 8 glasses of water a
day and also treat yourself with a green or white tea from time to time,
because these are rich in antioxidants and will help your skin look fresh and
young for a very long time, even without makeup.
6)
Kissable Lips
Here
is a very simple tip on how to make your lips kissable and soft: gently massage
your lips every evening (or every other evening) with your toothbrush for a
couple of minutes (or use a ‘sugar+honey’ scab instead); then rinse and apply
Shea butter (your natural moisturizer) on your lips. Now, feel how tender, soft
and kissable your lips feel; your prince charming won’t be able to stop kissing
you!
7)
Smile and love yourself
Smile
will instantly help you to feel and look pretty, even if you don’t have any
makeup on! As Audrey Hepburn once said:
“The prettiest girl is the happiest one!” Smile every time you look in the
mirror, smile to people you see on the street and, in general, let smile be
your favorite accessory – you will see how the whole world will start smiling
back at you!
Love
yourself. Accept yourself fully and completely. Love the way you look with or without
makeup, because you are truly unique and beautiful! Remember it!
8)
What about your hair?
If
you want to look pretty with no makeup on – it’s important to take a good care
of your hair and keep your hair color close to natural. If you use certain
“extreme” hair colors, such as blue, pink or green, it can emphasize all little
imperfections on your face and draw attention to them.
Try
to keep your hair in great condition by using right hair care products that are
suitable for your hair type, and do hair masks and oil treatments regularly.
Nothing can be more beautiful than silky and shiny locks!
Do
you think it’s possible to be pretty without makeup?
