Mezhgans No Makeup Look

    Mezhgan's philosophy is that the goal of wearing makeup is to get compliments on how pretty you look, not how good your makeup looks. This week she has some tips to help you look stunning without looking like you're wearing a lot of makeup, like our beautiful model India De Beaufort.

    Start With A Great Canvas
    Most importantly you want to have a great canvas to start from. This is where your foundation comes in. Mezhgan recommends using a liquid foundation over a primer because it makes it go on smoother and last a bit longer.

    Get the look with luminous (me) primer and foundation.

    Apply Foundation for an Even Tone
    You want to use your liquid foundation to even out your skin tone, not necessarily cover any flaws. This is where so many people go wrong!

    Concealer for Extra Coverage
    Use a concealer to take care of anything that needs a little extra covering up, like blemishes or dark circles.

    Get the look with flawless (me) concealer and perfecting powder.

    Powder Sets the Canvas
    Set your make up by gently brushing on translucent powder, which won't alter the color of your foundation. This method leaves you looking flawless and gives you coverage where you need it when you need it instead of all over.

    A Bit of Blush
    Next dust a bit of a subtle blush color starting at the apples of your cheeks and sweeping through the hairline. Be careful not to go too far in on the face close to the nose. It will look unnatural. You can also mix a highlighter along the top of your cheek to give a subtle glow.

    Brighten Your Eyes
    Take a light shadow color and dust across the lid to brighten the eyes and open them up a little.

    Subtly Define Your Eyes
    Smudge a taupe or brown shadow/pencil in your natural lash line. This will define your eye but still not look like you are wearing liner.

    Embrace the Eyelash Curler
    Use an eyelash curler to curl your lashes. This instantly opens up your eyes!

    Enhance With Mascara
    Follow up with a few coats of mascara to further define your eyes. Make sure to replace your mascara often to avoid clumping, not to mention bacteria!
