Achieving Natural Makeup Looks for 2025: Your Ultimate Guide

Essential Skincare Steps

To achieve a stunning natural makeup look, the first step is investing time in your skincare. Trust me, it makes all the difference! The journey to a flawless face starts with double cleansing. For me, the Anua Double Cleanser has been a lifesaver. It effectively unclogs my pores and combats my dry skin, leaving my face feeling fresh and ready for the next steps.

After cleansing, apply a good toner that preps your skin and hydrates without stripping natural oils. My go-to right now is the milk skin rice toner by Tirtir, it makes my skin feel more hydrated and I need that extra boost for my dry skin. Then, apply a serum. Recently, I have been trying different brands to try to find the one that best fits my skin, here are a few that I have liked and if you have sensitive and dry skin like me then maybe you'd benefit from these products! Anua, e.l.f Holy Hydration. I find that these ones haven't burned or irritated my skin when applying, nor caused more redness than I already have like some products I've tried before! After applying your serum it's time for your eye cream; this is crucial for keeping those delicate under-eyes bright. Follow it up with a moisturizer+ SPF. Remember, even if you're going for that natural look, sun protection is key!

Makeup That Enhances, Not Covers

Now onto the fun part: makeup! The goal here is to enhance your natural beauty rather than mask it entirely. I personally don't like heavy foundations and love when my freckles come through. Start with a light foundation or even a tinted moisturizer to keep that fresh and light feeling. Next up is a light concealer, followed by a light creamy contour by e.l.f. (Halo Glow) following with their cream blush for that dewy finish – it blends so beautifully!

When it comes to eye makeup, consider switching out your harsh black eyeliner for something softer like a brown eyeliner. It’s all about softening your features while still defining your eyes. It gives off a more relaxed feel, perfect for everyday wear! I don't always wear eye shadow, but if I do I like to go with a neutral tone with light browns in the crease and a soft pink shimmer on the base of my eyelid. I have been obsessed with colourpops palettes and these are perfect for that natural glow with a little shimmer. Going coconuts palette, and baby got peach palette. Love, love, love these!

Don’t forget to finish with a subtle highlighter on your cheekbones and a tinted lip balm or gloss to bring everything together. The key takeaway is to keep everything breathable and light. Mix in a few personal touches of your own, like a favorite lip shade or blush, to help your personality shine through!
