- Cleansing- To create a nude look or any look, it’s important to start off with basic skincare. Cleansing, toning and moisturizing are essential parts of skin care to look flawless. First cleanse your face with a foam based cleanser to remove dirt or dust from your face. You can use according to your skin types these cleansers. For Dry skin – Cream based cleanser, Oily skin – Gel-based cleanser, and for Normal skin – Foam based cleanser.

2. Toning- After cleanser you can apply toner. It is used on the skin to shrink the appearance of the pores on the face. Toner removes any dirt, impurities stuck in your pores after you wash your face and it also tightens the pores. Toners can be applied to the skin with a dab dab position with cotton balls on the face.

3. Moisturizing- First apply a good moisturizer according to your skin type before you start any makeup. It smoothes the skin’s surface and makes it hydrated for foundation and concealer to stay longer.

4. Primer- After moisturizer, it is important to apply a primer for a flawless base. It lays a smooth canvas for foundation and concealer to blend in smoothly on the face. In nude makeup or a bridal look, wearing a primer is very important in any makeup. You may choose primer according to your skin type.

Concealer- Conceal your face areas where you have pigmentation, lines, spots, scars, and pimples. You can use your fingers to blend the under eye area. Take a pea sized amount of concealer, and apply it in small strokes where it is required.

6. Foundation- Foundation is a very important part for nude makeup or any bridal make up. It is necessary to choose a foundation according to your skin type or skin color. For a minimal makeup look or nude look, don’t pick a heavy foundation that gives full coverage. The perfect foundation shade is always one that matches your skin tone, otherwise it will look unnatural. Take a small amount of foundation on the back of your hand and apply it on your face using a damp makeup sponge for the perfect finish look.

7. Eye makeup- Eye makeup is the most important part of any makeup look. Take your nude eyeshadow palette and pick a fawn or taupe shade which is closest to your natural skin complexion. Now, blend a slightly deep shade of brown color towards the outer corners of the eyes, this will contour your eyes and will look bigger. No eye makeup look is complete without eyeliner and mascara. Use brown gel eyeliner, and draw a smooth line along your lash line, finish the look with two coats of mascara. At last take a brown eye pencil and give shape to eyebrows.

8. Cheeks- A little blush on cheeks looks beautiful and natural in nude makeup. Use natural shade which is close to your skin complexion. You may choose shades like peach, light pink, and orangish colors. You should avoid dark colors on cheeks because we have to achieve a soft and minimal look in nude makeup.

9. Lipstick- Lipstick is the essential part of makeup, without which your entire look is incomplete. Your lipstick can transform your whole personality of makeup. You can also use lip gloss and natural tinted lip balms. We suggest you avoid liquid or matte lipsticks. Instead, go with natural gloss with natural shade or use a soft shade of brown, and apply it on the lips.
