Let’s dazzle with these 6 makeup looks that are trending in 2021:

No makeup look

1. Create a no-makeup look with make-up. How ironic and awesome, right? 
2. A “no make-up look” is the perfect look for the days when you want to look natural yet photo-ready. It is also a great look to have in the summers. Heavy makeup can often form a thick layer on your skin during this time.
3. An easy-to-do “no make-up look” will be able to last longer and give you that natural radiance. 
4. The most important part of this look is to have clear skin. Since the application of makeup is minimum, it’s your natural skin that will be a catalyst in enhancing the final look. 
5. For healthy-looking skin, indulge in skincare by following the three steps of cleansing-toning-moisturizing. It’s really important to take care of your health and glow. You can also apply a face mask before doing the no-makeup look to moisturize your skin thoroughly.

Time to doll up 

You can apply a bb cream or a light foundation to even out the texture of your skin. A few darker skin areas., the under-eye or the forehead skin, often get tanned in the sun. In such places, you can apply a subtle layer of concealer. After that, lightly dab your face with face powder.

Keep eye makeup to a minimum, and a thin layer of eyeliner would be perfect. You can apply a bit of mascara, but that’s completely optional. With an eyebrow pencil, fill the gaps in your eyebrows.

Go for a black or a brown-coloured eyeliner, depending on your skin colour. Give a light dab of pink or peach blush to add that soft rosy effect to your cheeks. As a final step, use petroleum jelly or lip balm to add that natural shine to your lips.

3. The areas around the eyes are often darker than your skin tone. You should apply concealer in these areas to bring consistency to your skin shade. 
4. Time to go smokey! Take a dark colour eyeshadow and apply it to your eyelids—blend, blend, blend. 
5. The eyeliner comes next! Apply eyeliner on the upper lash line; this will make the makeup look neater. Blend the eyeliner with the eyeshadow you applied in the earlier step.
6. To give it a bolder look, apply the eyeliner at the crease of your eye and under the eye along the lower lash line. Smudge it well. 
7. You can use fake eyelashes and a bit of gold-glittery eyeshadow on your eyelids to create a heavier look. Finally, add a light coat of mascara to your lashes, and boom!

Quick tips for skincare 

If you are going to indulge in makeup, make skincare your top priority. Your natural skin is the best base that you can give to any makeup look. 

Here are some quick tips –

1. Use an oil-based cleanser to remove your makeup before going to sleep. For deeper cleaning, go for “double cleansing” by using a water-based face wash to remove the makeup altogether.
2. The application of makeup can often make your skin dry. Use hydrating serums rich in Vitamin B5. You can apply serums as the first thing after deeply cleansing your skin. The texture of a serum is thin and penetrates deep into your skin pores. It nourishes your skin from within.
3. Applying under-eye cream is a must-do part of your makeup regime. Under-eye skin gets dried pretty quickly. It is also one of the first areas of your skin to show the early signs of ageing.
4. You need to ensure that this area gets the right kind of protection with under-eye cream. Simply take the cream in your ring finger and dab it lightly.
5. Much like eye cream, sunscreen is a must. Ignoring it is equal to committing a sin to your skin. Apply it over the layer of moisturizer and give it 3-5 minutes to absorb before you put on your makeup
6. The last point is a rather basic one but goes a long way. Drink a lot of water! It will flush out the toxins in your body and prevent acne on your skin. It is recommended to drink at least 8 glasses of water in a single day. You can set alarms or try apps that will remind you to stay hydrated.

Brushing up

1. Pick the look that you feel defines you the best. 
2. If you are a beginner, start with easy makeup that looks like red lips or pink flush. 
3. In your beauty journey, make sure that you take good care of your skin. When your skin is nourished, you can make any makeup look work for you.
4. Take inspiration from the above looks and create your distinct look. 

                As they say, “you do you” is the trend that never gets old.
