How to Establish a Natural Cosmetics Routine

A natural makeup look simply means using cream or liquid formulas, lighter coverage, and a light hand—it doesn't necessarily mean using fewer processes or products. Here's a step-by-step guide to creating a natural makeup routine.

1. Get your skin ready

Skincare is the first step in a healthy natural makeup routine, not cosmetics. One crucial step in preparing your skin for makeup is using moisturizer. One excellent choice for all skin types is the L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives Micro Hyaluronic Acid + Ceramides Line-Plumping Water Cream. It helps to fill fine wrinkles and hydrates the face deeply and rapidly.

2. Prepare your skin

If you want your makeup to last, priming your skin is crucial. In certain situations, it might even help you use less foundation to get even coverage. Try the L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Makeup Blurring Face Primer Infused with Serum if you're seeking a primer that encourages glowing, healthy-looking skin. Choose a color-correcting primer, such as the L'Oréal Paris Prime Lab Up to 24 H Redness Eraser, if you're prone to redness and uneven skin tone.

3. Select a tinted moisturizer or a light-coverage foundation.

Instead of trying to cover up your complexion, you want a base product that complements it for natural makeup looks. These are some of our preferred hydrating recipes.

The 4-in-1 Tinted Face Balm Foundation by L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect: This medium-coverage foundation balm is ideal for multi-purpose makeup, which we adore. The special formula provides buildable coverage for natural makeup looks and applies like a balm. Over time, it also helps to firm the skin, balance out skin tone, and smooth wrinkles.

L'Oréal Paris Skin Paradise Water Infused Tinted Moisturizer is a tinted moisturizer that we love! It comes in 14 colors and may be applied with your fingertips. It blends in perfectly with the skin to produce a base that is naturally bright in only a few minutes.

L'Oréal Paris's True Match Super-Blendable Foundation: This buildable-coverage foundation's skin-like texture lets you keep your cosmetic appearance looking natural. The 47 tones are sorted by undertone, so you may select the one that best suits your skin tone.

Choose L'Oréal Paris True Match Hyaluronic Tinted Serum if you want coverage that looks natural and has a consistency similar to your favorite skincare products.

4. Turn on the concealer light.

When it comes to coverage, a tinted moisturizer might not be enough for some of us. A full-coverage concealer can be very useful for providing additional coverage where it's needed when you're applying a light base. Keep the rest of your base light and use concealer sparingly for any trouble spots or imperfections. We recommend the hyaluronic acid-enriched L'Oréal Paris True Match Radiant Serum Concealer because it helps nourish the skin and hide flaws while leaving a stunning, glowing finish. 

5. Place the contour stick down.

Avoid contouring and highlight your cheeks and bone structure with a light blush tone to keep your face looking as natural and youthful as possible. The L'Oréal Paris True Match Blush gives your cheeks a flush of color that looks natural and blends evenly for a finish that is smooth and natural-looking.
