On TikTok, the hashtag <i>#minimalmakeup<\/i> has amassed no less than 145 million views.<\/p>\n<p>Celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Zendaya, and the Hadid sisters have championed it on the red carpet and social media. The Covid-19 pandemic played a pivotal role: confined to their homes, many women simplified their routines and rediscovered their <strong>natural <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/en\/beaute\/maquillage\/glossy-tint-is-emerging-as-the-must-have-beauty-detail-of-the-moment-435941\">beauty<\/a><\/strong> .<\/p>\n<p>This return to minimalism shows no signs of slowing down. Here&#39;s a practical guide to adopting this <i>effortless<\/i> look every day, whatever your skin type.<\/p>\n<h2> What is minimalist and natural makeup?<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p> <strong>Minimalist makeup<\/strong> doesn&#39;t mean zero product on the face. The central idea is to <strong>enhance natural beauty<\/strong> rather than conceal it under layers of cosmetics.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> The desired result is a <i>fresh, radiant<\/i> and authentic face, where the skin truly shines through.<\/p>\n<p>This approach goes by several names: <strong>no make-up look<\/strong> , <i>clean girl<\/i> aesthetic, skinimalism or even <i>glass skin<\/i> .<\/p>\n<p>They all share the same philosophy: to assert their identity, to claim their traits and particularities, far from digital filters and imposed standards.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>trend<\/strong> was confirmed on the catwalks during <strong>Fashion Week<\/strong> , at Chanel, Lanvin, Miu Miu, and Fendi. The models&#39; clean, minimalist faces illustrate a new definition of refinement.<\/p>\n<p>It also fits into a logic of <i>silent luxury<\/i> : <strong>consuming less but better<\/strong> , where quality takes precedence over quantity.<\/p>\n<h2> The benefits of a simplified beauty routine<\/h2>\n<p> Reducing your makeup routine produces visible effects on the skin. Pores become less clogged, sebum production is regulated, and <strong>imperfections<\/strong> gradually fade.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> Better skin oxygenation contributes to a <strong>fresh<\/strong> and naturally <i>radiant<\/i> complexion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> A <strong>minimalist routine<\/strong> also simplifies life. Fewer products mean less risk of irritation, which is particularly beneficial for sensitive skin prone to <strong>redness<\/strong> .<\/p>\n<p>Evening makeup removal becomes less aggressive, or even unnecessary on some days.<\/p>\n<p>On an emotional level, this approach offers a real sense of freedom. Many women describe a renewed sense of confidence by being more authentically themselves.<\/p>\n<p>From an economic point of view, this trend also responds to an evolution in purchasing behavior: consumers now favour multifunctional and durable products, choosing versatile formulas that adapt to all body types and skin tones.<\/p>\n<h2> The foundation of a natural look: skincare and a glowy complexion<\/h2>\n<h3> Essential skincare products<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p> A <strong>glowing complexion<\/strong> starts with a rigorous <strong>skincare routine<\/strong> . Gentle cleansing morning and evening removes pollution residue and sebum that dull the complexion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> The choice of cleanser should correspond to the skin type: purifying gel for combination skin, milk or oil for dry skin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hydration<\/strong> remains the cornerstone of <i>radiant skin<\/i> . A serum with vitamin C or hyaluronic acid provides instant radiance.<\/p>\n<p>Sunscreen with SPF 30 to 50 provides lasting protection for your complexion. Weekly exfoliation refines skin texture and reveals natural radiance.<\/p>\n<h3> The best complexion products<\/h3>\n<p> For <strong>skincare<\/strong> complemented by discreet makeup, opt for a fluid <strong>foundation<\/strong> with a <i>second-skin effect<\/i> or a <strong>BB cream<\/strong> , or even a <strong>tinted cream<\/strong> .<\/p>\n<p>They are applied with a <strong>brush<\/strong> , a <strong>sponge<\/strong> or <strong>fingers<\/strong> , avoiding any <strong>demarcation<\/strong> .<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <strong>Concealer<\/strong> erases <i>dark<\/i> <strong>circles<\/strong> and <strong>signs of fatigue<\/strong> .<\/li>\n<li> Cream <strong>blush<\/strong> dabbed onto the <strong>cheekbones<\/strong> brings the complexion to life in a natural way.<\/li>\n<li> A creamy <strong>bronzer<\/strong> and a cream-formula <strong>highlighter<\/strong> , applied lightly, complete the <i>glowssy look<\/i> .<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2> How to do eye makeup subtly?<\/h2>\n<p> In a <i>minimalist<\/i> makeup look, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/beaute\/conseils-astuces\/mascara-conseils-pour-bien-le-choisir-et-bien-lappliquer-1709726139-376256\"><strong>mascara<\/strong><\/a> loses its status as an absolute essential.<\/p>\n<p>The <i>no mascara<\/i> trend, popularized by Hailey Bieber, encourages leaving eyelashes bare or simply using an eyelash curler to open up the eyes without artifice.<\/p>\n<p>For those who still wish to use it, a curling, lengthening, or volumizing <strong>gel mascara<\/strong> , depending on the type of lashes, remains a good option. Be sure to avoid clumping by removing excess product from the brush before application.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> A thin colored <strong>pencil<\/strong> drawn close to the eyelashes or a pastel <strong>eyeshadow<\/strong> applied with a finger to the mobile <strong>eyelid<\/strong> is enough to enhance the eyes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> For <strong>eyebrows<\/strong> , a transparent gel creates a natural brow lift effect, avoiding overly perfect lines that betray the makeup.<\/p>\n<h2> Natural and luminous lips: the right products to adopt<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p> Lip <strong>gloss<\/strong> remains the go-to product for <i>bright, fresh<\/i> <strong>lips<\/strong> . Choose it in <i>nude<\/i> , pink, or clear shades to enhance your <strong>lips<\/strong> without weighing them down.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> The tinted balm offers a gentle and moisturizing alternative, ideal for everyday use.<\/p>\n<p>A lipstick close to your natural shade is perfectly compatible with this style. A bold red lip also works in a <strong>minimalist look<\/strong> , provided you keep your eyes understated.<\/p>\n<p>A <i>nude<\/i> <strong>lip pencil<\/strong> outlines and plumps the lips, its edges blended with a finger for a <i>natural and refined<\/i> result. Don&#39;t forget to moisturize with a regenerating treatment before applying.<\/p>\n<h2> Additional steps and treatments to naturally enhance the skin<\/h2>\n<p> Some beauty treatments can achieve a <i>radiant complexion<\/i> without foundation:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li> The Hydrafacial cleanses, exfoliates and deeply hydrates for an immediate glow.<\/li>\n<li> Red or blue LED light stimulates cell regeneration and soothes inflammation.<\/li>\n<li> The peel refines the skin texture and evens out the complexion.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p> Good daily habits enhance the effects of skincare. Drinking enough water, sleeping at least seven hours a night, limiting stress, and avoiding comedogenic products keep skin in top condition.<\/p>\n<p>Regularly cleaning brushes and accessories prevents bacterial growth.<\/p>\n<p>A hydrating mist refreshes the skin during the day and sets the complexion.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> Finally, a <strong>personalized skin diagnosis<\/strong> remains the best way to identify the <strong>skincare products<\/strong> best suited to one&#39;s skin tone and specific needs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> Every skin deserves a tailored approach to fully reveal its potential.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Adapt your <strong>skincare routine<\/strong> to your skin type to maximize results.<\/li>\n<li> Choose lightweight formulas that respect the natural balance of the complexion.<\/li>\n<li> Opt for multi-functional products to simplify your makeup bag.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Minimalist makeup has established itself as one of the most enduring beauty trends of recent years.
