Using lots of makeup can become a chore, especially during the warmer months. Instead, why not choose to cut down on your morning routine by allowing your natural beauty to shine through? It’s not as hard as you’d think – here are seven ways to nailing it.
1: Groom Your Brows
Your eyebrows shape the entire face, so it’s important to groom them properly. If you are great with the tweezers, then you can do your own each week in front of the mirror. If you don’t trust your own hands, though, you can opt to go to a professional to get them plucked, waxed, or threaded. You could even get them tinted, too, for extra definition.
2: Defeat Lines with Botox
You might not think of the word “natural” when hearing about botox, but when performed correctly, botox will smooth your lines without altering your natural appearance. If you’re starting to notice creases between your eyebrows or deep forehead lines when you raise your eyebrows, botox will help you achieve a naturally youthful appearance once more.
3: Use Minimal but Pretty Makeup
Makeup is used for many different reasons – some people like to completely alter their appearance, some use it as art, whereas others simply like for it to highlight their natural beauty. If your goal is the latter, then focus on using minimal makeup in the mornings. A few dots of concealer, a neutral eyeshadow, a lick of mascara, and a tinted lip balm is enough to bring out your eyes and cover your blemishes without overdoing it.
4: Eat a Healthy Diet
If you are healthy on the inside, it will show on the outside, so focus on eating a healthy diet to bring out that natural glow. Some of the best foods to make your skin shine include:
- Blueberries
- Kiwis
- Nuts
- Green Tea
- Sunflower Seeds
- Yogurt
- Broccoli
By incorporating more of these foods into your diet, you’ll soon have a naturally beautiful glow.
5: Grow Out Your Natural Color
Many women feel the need to dye their natural hair color, especially when they start showing signs of gray, but it isn’t a necessity. In fact, many people who embrace their natural gray look incredible! Plus, the color you are naturally born with is often the color that suits your skin tone best, so if you’ve spent years of your life dying your hair, consider growing out your natural color to see how you like it.
6: Build a Wardrobe for Your Body Type
You don’t have to lose tons of weight to be beautiful. To highlight your natural beauty, shop for clothes that enhance your body shape. If you’re a pear shape, for example, A-line dresses and flared pants are a great go-to. Remember to pay attention to measurements and try on clothes when you can, too, as clothes that fit well always look better.
7: Smile
The simplest but most effective way of letting your natural beauty shine is by smiling. No matter how you look that day, by smiling, you give off a positive radiance that can’t be replicated through makeup or clothes. Plus, it’s infectious!
