If there’s only one beauty feature that I am constantly striving to achieve, it has to be beautiful skin. It seems to be the never-ending struggle, and every time my skin stops being dry it seems to become oily, or every time one pimple goes it opens up space for another. Anyone else feel that way? I mean, flawless skin is definitely a myth, but sadly, millions of us (including me!) seem to spend a lifetime struggling to turn that dream into reality. However, this year I am trying to embrace my skin, make-up free a lot more and have employed a new, simple(ish) strategy to help me do that…
Remember your ABCs, and you can’t go too wrong, right?
We all take inspiration from others – hey, that’s why you’re reading my blog post right now, right? Nonetheless, it’s important to remember that your skincare and beauty routines should be personalized to your needs, as there is no one-answer-fits-all solution (or rather, no-product-fits-all!). Until this happens, you will always be left with limited results. Customization is an essential ingredient in the recipe for success.
For instance, when applying makeup, anyone hoping to unlock their full potential should choose customized makeup palettes built to aid their skin tones. As well as selecting the right palettes for their natural features, it is vital to choose brushes that suit your needs. The application process is an integral feature of your beauty rituals, and only the best will do. Sizes and firmness of bristles will impact the situation.
The fact you’re currently a little unhappy with your circumstances shows that something needs to change. When you adapt your skincare routines according to your individual needs, you will see better results. Copying what works for others won’t always work for you.
Most people find that a conscious effort to support their skin’s natural appearance is necessary. However, you don’t want to completely abandon your natural look. As such, learning to blend your makeup applications so that you get an authentic looking finish is vital.
The right choice of foundation will aid the cause. In an ideal world, you should opt for solutions that only require a light layer prior to adding the blusher or other items from your palette. You should also educate yourself by watching video tutorials. While you needn’t become a professional MUA, upgrading your skills is a step in the right direction.
If nothing else, it’ll allow you to control harsh situations such as acne breakouts. The right techniques and products for successful blending are vital. Without them, it’s likely that your face and body will feel disjointed in their appearance. This really is a crucial feature.
Lastly, it’s important to remember that your makeup applications can only achieve so much. Therefore, it’s imperative that you invest in good skin care and health. Otherwise, you’ll be left in a situation where you correct your natural looks rather than support them.
Getting a good night’s sleep, staying hydrated, and generally leading a healthy lifestyle should help. Meanwhile, shea moisture and other ingredients can be used to promote good skin health. When your skin is blessed with a natural glow, it will be reflected by your overall look. Better still, it should speed up your beauty rituals as you’ll need far less work.
Healthy, glowing skin is determined to be attractive looking skin. When supported by the other ideas mentioned above, your entire appearance should reap the rewards. It will have a telling impact on your immediate and ongoing beauty.
