One of the most surprising things about this look is that the skin is absolutely transparent.

How is this effect achieved?

She hardly has any makeup on. She’s only wearing a moisturizer mixed with four drops of foundation so that the skin looks shiny, and a little bit of lightly textured concealer in the same color as the skin to cover any slight blemishes.

To seal this concealer and minimize any unflattering shininess, add “a very light touch of transparent, colorless powder with a thick brush; in this way, the translucent powder looks more blended and natural.”

To achieve this fresh, light skin, it’s very important that the skin shows through without losing the light satin sheen of natural skin. If we apply too much powder, this subtle sheen will disappear.

This effect is very flattering and will always look great with any makeup, as long as the skin is fine and pretty.

The eyes don’t have much makeup either, just the necessary amount to give the gaze expression and light that illuminates the upper eye and the arch of the eyebrow.

Apply a dark brown eyeshadow on the eyelid with a flat brush, blending from the eyelash line to the eye cavity.

Now, to reinforce the eyelash line, the technique consists in drawing a line that’s very close to the eyelashes with a bevelled brush and black eyeshadow, blending it on the eyelid upwards. Next, give touches of light with a golden beige eyeshadow: in the center of the eyelid, in the tearduct corner and on the skin below the lower eyelid.

Mascara has only been applied to the upper eyelashes, from the root to the tip, so that they look well combed and defined, eliminating with a clean eyelash brush any possible lump and giving them the desired shape. The lower eyelashes have only been combed.

On the cheeks, she is wearing rosy brown cream blush, applied directly with the fingertips over the cheeks and blended toward the ear and the point of light on the cheekbone.

Her points of light have also been highlighted very softly with another cream product so that the skin doesn’t lose that natural texture, blending the illuminator with the cream blush so that no abrupt change is visible.

She’s been given a touch of caramel color on the lips that looks very flattering. To keep her look fresh and casual, her lips have not been outlined. The gloss has been applied directly with the help of a brush. This plays with the natural quality of the makeup and achieves a flattering moisturizing effect, thanks to a cherry gloss and shiny finish: “Although it lasts less, the attractive, transparent lips effect that we’re looking for is achieved better with a gloss of this sort because it doesn’t contain a lot of color pigment.”
