When you’re just lounging around at home, putting on your usual full face of make-up might feel like a bit of a waste. But, on the other hand, you might find that going bare-faced doesn’t make you feel your best either, if your usual beauty routine involves putting make-up on. So, if you want to let your skin breathe but still feel put together when you have to answer any incoming video calls, just follow these simple steps…
1. Skincare

Everything starts with skincare, especially if you’re trying to wear the least amount of makeup possible. So, use this extra time for self-care and finally try all those face masks you have lying around: hydration and light exfoliation are key. By the way, the best way to achieve flawless skin long term is wearing a minimum of SPF 30 everyday, even when you’re stuck indoors.
2. Multitasking

Trying to save time, effort and product? Use any creamy blush – whether it’s in an apricot, rose or berry shade – and simply swipe the same product over eyes, cheeks and lips for a cohesive look that will make you look fresh-faced and healthy.
3. Framing your face

Work with what’s already there and focus on framing features like your brows, lashes and cheekbones. Brush up your brows with a brow gel, curl your lashes and use a contouring stick or powder to emphasise your bone structure. You’ll feel ready to take on anything.
4. A healthy glow

We’re all longing for those days when we can just go outside to get a natural tan but in the meantime embrace fake tan and bronzer. It can help to hide any imperfections or redness on your face and will make your overall complexion look more even-toned and healthy. Who’s ready for a staycation?
5. Concealing

Sometimes, clean and even-toned skin is all we need to feel like ourselves. Spot conceal any redness or blemishes and brighten under-eyes with lighter concealer, but let your natural flush or freckles shine through. Voilà – perfect skin in no time. Add some lip balm or gloss to lips and eyelids as a finishing touch.
6. Prioritise

Make-up can enhance our favourite features. Just because you’re not doing your whole foundation routine doesn’t mean you can’t look your best. Whether it’s elongating your eyes with a winged liner or creating a fuller pout with lip liner, this is the time to pick favourites.
7. Highlighting

Highlighter is the quickest and easiest way to fake glowing skin. Choose a cream or liquid formula (works best on clean skin) and apply to cheekbones, bridge of the nose, inner corners of the eye and your cupids bow for an effortless, dewy look.
