How to Stay Beautiful without Make-Up

It may be difficult for many girls to even try to imagine a makeup free life, in fact for some it will be a positively scary idea. How is it even possible to be beautiful without wearing makeup?  What would you do with the extra time in the mornings without the daily makeup routine and ritual you follow before venturing outside the front door?



The point is that nobody is suggesting for one second that you should be completely make-up free – it’s all about relying less on make-up and letting your inner beauty shine through. If you take good care of the basics you will be able to step out with confidence wearing little or even no make-up so put away your lipstick, pack your makeup brushes away into the makeup brush holder and find out a little bit more about it.

Take good care of your skin 

You should do this anyhow but if you are planning on cutting down on makeup it is even more important to have beautifully clean and clear skin so don’t go throwing out your moisturizers, cleansers, exfoliates etc.  Whereas you may have once used foundation or concealer to cover up the odd pimple you are aiming for a pimple free complexion.  Using makeup can actually cause skin blemishes and pimples for some people so cutting down on its use could be a means to an end.  Your skin tone will probably improve miraculously after having a few foundation free days.



Remember your eyebrows 

Applying makeup allows us to contour the face into different shapes and proportions so it is easy to forget how naturally beautiful we can be. If you are serious about going makeup free then it’s important to make the most of your natural features – eyebrows play a big part in that. Take a long, hard look at your eyebrows in the mirror. If they have suffered from years of over plucking now is the time to allow them to grow back – coconut oil and olive oil applied to the roots can help with this. This may be a good time to get a little professional help and have your eyebrows shaped in a salon.

Remember that what goes inside the body has a direct effect on the outside of the body 

Yep, drinking plenty of water and eating a healthy diet can make a big impact on the skin and natural beauty.  Eat lots of fresh veggies and fruits daily, switch your coffee for a healthy green tea and drink plenty of water to keep your skin well hydrated.

Smile 

This gives you an instant fix both with and without makeup. Iconic beauty Audrey Hepburn herself once said – “the prettiest lady is the happiest lady who always wears a smile”. Smiles are contagious you know, it’s catching, if you smile at people you see nine times out of ten they will smile back at you. Go on, spread a little happiness and you’ll be able to go out without makeup because you’ll be wearing a smile.



Remember your hair 

your crowning glory needs to be silky, smooth and natural looking too for the icing on the cake. Pay particular attention to keeping your hair in good condition with regular oil treatments and hair masks.
