“Soft beauty”: pamper your skin to better enhance your complexion
Here, the complexion makeup is as light as a feather. Everything is designed so that the skin can exude its natural glow without cosmetic overdose. The skin must therefore look flawless under makeup, which means taking special care of your skincare routine.
And if there was only one product to remember in this category, it would undoubtedly be this one: The base face milk from Ilia. A hybrid product, between a protective essence and a light moisturizer, which reduces redness and smoothes the skin's texture to boost light reflection. We can even layer the “layers” to maximize the comfort of our skin, especially in cold weather.
To optimize the benefits of this nugget, don't forget to apply it to very clean skin, free of impurities and excess sebum. We highly recommend The cleanse gentle foaming cleanser, also from Ilia. Its perfectly fluffy formula is designed to help you cleanse your skin (even sensitive) while respecting its natural hydration barrier.
The basis of “gentle beauty”: a luminous complexion, without overdoing it
Skincare: it’s done. We now move on to pure makeup. The founding principle remains the same: avoid overdose for a stunningly realistic bare skin effect. We therefore favor fluid and light textures, which unify the complexion discreetly and increase the glow.
With the return of sunny days, kill two birds with one stone by opting for makeup with integrated SPF. Our “soft beauty” choice: C Beyond triple serum SPF30 from Ilia Beauty. Its tinted formula with 0% water evens out the complexion with transparency and improves the appearance of the skin over time (thanks to the encapsulated vitamin C). It leaves the skin glowing, smoothed and satiny.
This trend is intended to be as authentic as possible, so we avoid powders. Especially coarse powders, which leave a plastered effect the opposite of what we want here. If you have oily skin and you don't plan to go out "bare skin", limit yourself to the T zone. Choose the finest powder possible for an imperceptible finish, like Un Powder from RMS Beauty.
Our charming assets to gently spice up your makeup
Now that we've subtly highlighted our complexion, it's time to allow ourselves tiny touches of fantasy. They are of course purely accessories, but highly recommended: you will see that they can make all the difference to your look.
The blush? That’s a big yes! Simply avoid overly flashy flat areas of color and favor a more diffuse application, keeping your hand light. You can reproduce a sun-kissed seaside effect by delicately applying your blush to your temples, cheeks and the bridge of the nose. Choose cream textures for a luminous finish, like Aime's Healthy Glow Cream.
To complete your look without looking like it, dare to… freckles! If you already have some (lucky you!), they're supposed to still be visible under your makeup. If you don't have one (we're sure you have other assets 😊), draw some. Arm yourself with a thin, pointed eyeliner-type brush , dip it in Buriti Bronzer , tap your cheekbones, then blend with your finger.
“Soft” eyes and lips: instructions for use
If you already feel at your best, you are free to stop your makeup session here. Otherwise, add a bit of depth to your “soft beauty” look by highlighting your eyes or your mouth. To stay in our theme of spring minimalism, choose one or the other (not both at the same time!)
As for the eyes, a mascara is more than enough. The ideal is to choose it transparent for a truly natural look. See for example the Eyelash & Eyebrow Serum from Agent Nateur. It is a 2-in-1 treatment, both a styling product and a growth booster serum for our hair. As its name suggests, it has the advantage of being applied to both eyelashes and eyebrows, for a naturally enhanced look.
On the lips side, you can just tap the healthy glow cream from the previous step with your finger. You will thus obtain a very discreet bitten lip effect, in perfect harmony with all skin tones. For those who want more radiance, opt for a nude gloss (beige, pink or apricot). And there you have it, you're ready to celebrate the arrival of spring with the sweetest and brightest face!
