Let us be honest. Just the thought of a makeup routine brings to our minds the endless brushes and befuddling sets of contour palettes. The notion that wearing a mask is more like the way of simply staying, existing.

We at BEAUTYTOOLSET.COMknow that you may like the way others appear when they are on a full face, but to you, you just consider them high maintenance and a time-consuming puzzle. You just want to be a bit fresher, a bit smoother, without the feeling that you have put in all the time (or even some of it!) to create a different face.

In case this is what you are thinking, then you are in the club. It is not about becoming a beauty expert. It is about finding those small changes that add something luxurious to your beauty without looking like you are ready to wear a dress. You can think of these 5 simple makeup hacks for people who hate makeup as a strategic reinforcement to those days when you would like to feel just a bit more spark without the additional effort.

A List of 5 Simple Makeup Hacks for People Who Hate Makeup

These are 5 simple makeup hacks for people who hate makeup, nearly painless makeup tricks to those of us who, as you know, simply despise makeup.

BB Cream or Tinted Moisturizer for Your Skin

The foundation can turn anyone who dislikes makeup into a sweaty mess. Fortunately, you do not require it. In comes the tinted moist/BB (Beauty Balm) cream.

The aim of these heroes is to provide you with a sheer wash of color that will level out your skin tones, adding a healthy glow rather than the heavy and cakey look of a foundation. It really feels more like looking after than make-up.

How to Master it?

• Choose a color that makes a smooth mix with your jaw. In case of indecision, go a little lighter or translucent.
• Put a little on your fingertips.
• Spot it on the forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin.
• Pat out in the air with your fingers as you would apply lotion.
• This time, take a bit narrower focus on the blending around the hairline and at the jaw.

Result

A finely airbrushed complexion that does not appear to look like you are wearing anything, but looks fresh and perfectly even.

Cream Blush is a Natural Flush

Powder blush may be tricky and takes brushes and a light touch. Your best friend, however, is cream blush in those times when you want to be instantly healthier and vibrant.

When applied, it blends into the skin, giving a natural, youthful flush that appears as though it is emanating from within, not lying over the top of your skin. It is the simplest solution to rejuvenate your complexion.

How to Master it?

• Opt to use a natural soft color such as peachy pink, rose, or a warm terracotta. Nothing should be blazing or glittering.
• To get the roundest part of your cheeks (the apples), smile.
• Blot on with the ring finger a small amount of cream blush on the apples of the cheeks.
• Pat and merge the color upwards towards your temples using the fingertips.
• Begin with less, and you can add as you like.

Result

A fresh-looking color that makes you feel fresher than fresh air, and a bright color, which will render you more awake and cheerful.

Mascara Wonder

The only thing you should do is mascara. It is like a shot of fresh look, a small cup of coffee to the sight. Mascara is magic to a novice when it comes to doing makeup because the effect is instant and can only be denied by the hardest critic, with minimal practice.

It contours your eyelashes and gives your eyes a larger look. It also provides you with a fresher appearance and a wake-up effect even when you woke up only a few minutes ago.

How to Master it?

• Select a non-clumping mascara in a simple color (you are better off with black or dark brown).
• Glance downwards a bit and then give the wand a wiggle at the root of the top lashes, then pull straight upwards to the ends. It helps to obtain an even coating and add root volume.
• A very light swipe on the bottom lashes, but a light one coat on top too, is sometimes all one needs to get the natural, awakened look.
• Before it dries, wipe any smudges using a cotton swab.

Result

Pops out, even when you have nothing in the rest of your face. You will appear instantly more awake and sharper.

Tinted Lip

A small amount of lipstick is no better way to brighten a face. However, when the thought of applying lipstick with meticulous accuracy, or using sticky gloss, makes you shiver, a tinted lip balm or a deep sheer, nude-ish lipstick is just your cup of tea.

It makes you look sexy and it adds moisture to your lips, as well as some color to your face, the overall effect of the whole face glowing and looking better, brought together.

How to Master it?

• Pick a color that complements your natural lip color, such as berry, rosy pink, or a warm nude.
• With sheer lipstick, go with a my-lips-but-better color that is nearly the same shade as your natural lips, with maybe a touch warmer or rosier.
• You can swipe it directly on your lips.
• There are no excuses for using lip liner, blotting, or being exact.

Result

Healthy-looking, moist, but slightly tinted lips that will give your face a clean freshness.

The Brow Doctor

Brows delimit your face. Imagine them to be the most beautiful frame for your eyes. Well, do not panic yet with pencils, powders, and shaping, as there is now brow gel which can help in shaping your eyebrows to perfection.

It is the easiest approach to achieve more structured, smooth-looking brows without seeming that you painfully applied them with an eyeliner. An all-clear gel is able to tame wild hairs and also provide them with a faint sheen, whereas a tinted gel gives them a touch of color and fullness.

How to Master it?

• In case you settle on tinted gel, select a shade as close as you can to your eyebrows.
• When in doubt, use a lighter shade.
• Comb through your eyebrow hairs in the way they grow.
• To get a slight lift, you brush some of the hair at the front slightly upwards.
• In case you have a couple of bare areas and need just a little extra emphasis, softly apply the tinted gel brush to those regions, instead of making lines.

Result

Your eyebrows are naturally fuller, tidier, and more defined, so the overall effect of the whole face is uplifted and polished without doing anything extreme.

Beyond the Fundamentals

These 5 simple makeup hacks for people who hate makeup will also only be the start of getting you into the secrets of subtle improvement. Keep in mind, the aim is not to copy anyone but to feel a tad bit more confident and put-together in your skin.

More Is Never Better

Better Than More

Buy some simple and good-quality products that fit and are comfortable as well as work.
