6 Essential Products for a Natural Beauty Look

As a young woman in today’s society, I am used to iphone cameras constantly pointing in my direction. From snapchat stories, to Instagram pics, the exposure is endless. So, when I venture out of the house, I always strive to look presentable - I never know where my day will take me! That being said, I’ve never been a fan of caked on makeup. While it works for some people, I find it too heavy for my personal preference. Instead, I strive to find a look that falls somewhere between plain and sophisticated. Over the years, I’ve gathered several products that serve to culminate my everyday natural beauty look. With these 6 products in your beauty arsenal, you’re sure to create the perfect, natural looking glow to take on whatever your day may bring. 

Something that has always peeved me when looking in the mirror is the uneven texture of my skin. Whether my skin tone differs from area to area or I have raised blemishes,  L’oreal Infallible 24HR Fresh Wear Foundation creates a clean, smooth look while remaining lightweight, so as to keep my skin feeling naturally flawless. It is the perfect product to jumpstart your beauty routine. 

On the days when no amount of foundation could eliminate those pesty, plentiful, bright red pimples, I’m forced to look towards more products to create a clear skin illusion. Acne is never something I want to showcase, and tarte concealer has the best coverage of any product I’ve ever experimented with. It’s thick, creamy composition allows it to drown out all blemishes that may pop-up on the day-to-day. 

An essential part of my everyday look is a natural glow. As someone who’s a little more washed-out than I’d like to be, bronzer is an absolute necessity. Hoola Bronzer is a beautiful, long-lasting, solution to my pale problem. I use it as an easy contour for my not-so-defined cheekbones and jawline as well as a way to look sun-kissed after spending a bit too long inside.

Rosey cheeks are always a cute addition to a sweet face. The Charlotte Tilbury blush called the Beauty Light Wand, specifically in the Pinkgasm shade, is the perfect pigment for those beautifully blushed cheeks that brighten your entire face. Easy to apply and fitting on all skin tones, this is a personal favorite and staple in my vanity. 

As someone with a rounder face, highlighter is a necessary step in order to create definition in all the right places. The Revlon PhotoReady Insta-Fix Highlight Stick (Gold Light) is an affordable product that creates the perfect sparkle. Easy-to-use and beautifully glowing, this highlight will draw attention to your radiant features. 

Once all is said and done on the skin portion of a natural beauty routine, mascara is the final touch that pulls your whole look together. L’oreal Telescopic Mascara creates the perfect lift and hold for long, luxurious eyelashes that lasts all day long. It creates the natural yet elegant fan-lash effect everyone craves. 

I’ve never had much of a preference for drugstore vs. luxury beauty lines. My end goal when purchasing beauty products is to create a well-rounded, natural look that won’t break the bank. With these 6 products at your dispense, you’re sure to curate a quick, easy, yet effective makeup routine that you’ll cherish for years to come! Your beauty is a superpower. and these products help to showcase your best features.
