The no-makeup makeup look still reigns supreme for most of us on a daily basis. It’s the easiest way to look your casual best, plus it doesn’t require much precision to get flushed cheeks and a stained lip. For special occasions though, it’s a thrill to bring out the real arsenal of beauty products that spell b-o-u-d-o-i-r. Think of it as an ode to old-school glam when skin was immaculate, eyes were perfectly lined, and lips were painted the perfect blue-red hue. Here’s our take on vintage beauté, and a listicle on all the products you’ll need to achieve the look:
The boudoir makeup trend is all about perfecting the skin. Although the look is typically matte, we think that an updated finish for today should show off matte skin on the t-zone area and a semi-matte finish on the rest of the face. This will help give skin a multi dimensional finish and help you avoid that “flat” look that tends to make one’s face appear fuller. For this, we recommend Milani’s Prep + Set + Go Transparent Face Powder, P550
Both eyes and lips take the stage for this look, so your peepers need to stand out—a liquid liner plus up to three coats of an intensely black mascara ought to do the trick. We’re fans of Maybelline’s Hyper Impact Liner, P399 and L’Oréal Paris’ Voluminous Lash Paradise, P500 because they’re easy to use and are ultra long-wearing!
This look isn’t about being subtle so go on and use a pinkish blush to lend cheeks a proper glow. Physician’s Formula’s Murumuru Butter Blush, P800 goes on ever-so-effortlessly. No blending necessary, really.
