Features of light makeup
Light makeup is a simple make-up option that will not overload your face with cosmetics and at the same time emphasize advantages. Even a beauty novice can handle it! The main thing is to learn the basic rules:
KNOW BY SIGHT
… you need not only an enemy, but also yourself. Find out what skin type and color type you have. And what about the features of appearance? The oval of the face, the shape of the eyes, the shape of the lips – all this is important to consider in order to choose the right make-up.
50 SHADES
Even makeup artists admit that bright colors can be very “capricious”. Master the nude palette first and use the tools in the palettes (shadows, correctors, etc.). They will help you learn how to combine shades correctly.
GOOD TONE
It is the skin that is the main focus in a light make-up. Take care to hide redness and bruising under the eyes. A good concealer and the right foundation can easily cope with this task!
BETTER LESS
Do not layer different types of cosmetics or use complex techniques. Adhere to the main principle of the “naked” make-up – look like there is practically no makeup on your face.
IN ORDER
Remember that dry texture products are always applied on top of liquid ones. So cream highlighter on powder is not an option!

What you need for light makeup: a review of products from Maybelline NY
As a rule, light make-up means make-up for every day. To create it, it is enough to have a basic set of cosmetics: foundation, concealer, nude eye shadow palette, eye pencil or liner, lip gloss or lipstick, as well as pencil and mascara / eyebrow styling gel.
Light eye makeup
For easy eye makeup you will need:
- Mascara. Carefully paint over the cilia from roots to tips, and remove the excess with a special brush. If you want to achieve a “doll” look, stretch your eyelashes strictly up and down, and if you want a “cat” look, to the outer corners of the eyes.
Examples of successful mascaras: Lash Sensational and The Colossal give a fan volume, The Falsies Angel – the effect of false eyelashes, and The Falsies Lash Lift perfectly curls!
- Shadow palette. The Nudes of New York palette features 16 sensual nude shades, while The City Mini is a super-pigmented mini-palette that comes in 6 vibrant shades.
- Pencil or liner. The pencil is useful for creating feathered winged lines (try the gel Tattoo Liner, which lasts up to 36 hours!), while the Hyper Precise liner is the best for liners. It is matte, with an ultra-thin applicator that looks like a felt-tip pen.
Light lip makeup
Lip makeup becomes very easy when you manage to find “your” lipstick. Liquid or cream? Matte or glossy finish? Here’s a hint: The easiest way to create a flawless shape is with Superstay Matte Ink, which comes in stick form with a sharpened tip.
Another handy option is Lifter Gloss lip gloss. It moisturizes the lips and visually increases their volume.
Simple eyebrow makeup
- Eyebrow pencil or shadow will help create a shape and fill in the “bald spots” between the hairs, if any. The best choice is Brow Satin with a double-sided case: on the one hand – a pencil with a soft texture, and on the other – filling powder, which is convenient to apply with a sponge applicator.
- Eyebrow mascaras Brow Fast Sculpt and Brow Drama will not only style the hairs, but also give them visual thickness and a more saturated shade.
Easy skin makeup
In the basic version of a light skin make-up, there are only two steps.
- Tone cream. It is applied from the center of the face to the periphery, using fingers, a medium brush with a rounded tip, or a duofiber. For oily skin, mattifying Fit Me is suitable, for dry skin – Dream Satin BB/, and for normal skin – Affinitone with the most natural finish.
- Concealer. The concealer is applied after the foundation: on redness and pimples – with light driving movements, and under the eyes – in the form of an inverted triangle.
The Eraser Eye has a caring goji berry formula and a patented pad applicator. And the Superstay concealer lasts up to 24 hours.

Light makeup for every day
Catch life hacks that will help you make the easiest makeup for every day!
- If you think that the make-up turned out to be “flat”, and the face looks dull, add blush or bronzing powder.
- Light contouring can be done with two shades of concealer or foundation. Use a lighter color to tone the back of the nose, the central part of the forehead and the chin. Put a dark shade on the peripheral parts of the forehead, the sides of the nose and cheekbones.
- Do you want brightness? Apply Snapscara colored mascara to your lashes or line your upper eyelid with a neon liner.
- Focus on flawless skin. Concealer will help hide imperfections, and highlighter will add shine.
- Apply lip balm at the very beginning of your makeup. It will prepare the lips for applying lipstick.
Ideas for a light evening make-up
In a light evening make-up, it is important to follow the rule of one accent: either on the eyes or on the lips. If possible, use waterproof cosmetics and powder or Lasting Fix fixing spray – this will prolong the “life” of your make-up and matte the skin.
TOP 5 ideas for light makeup:
- Pastel smokes are 100% trendy, especially in pinks and lilacs.
- Monomakeup (possible with eyeliner or without arrows). Use for make-up … only lipstick! Apply it on lips, eyelids and cheekbones.
- Glitter. A scattering of sparkles will instantly turn a light everyday make-up into a spectacular and radiant evening one!
- Kissed lips. Apply bright lipstick to the center of the lips, and then blend it with your finger to the borders.
- The Iron Lady. Use cool shadows or lipstick with a metallic effect! Get a light bright makeup.
