Back-to-school season is once again right around the corner! Students always wish to achieve a fresh look for classes. Some want to attract their crushes or motivate themselves by looking good during study time.
Kathryn Bernardo, known for her beauty regimen, is a perfect example of a fresh face, with or without makeup. Her look exudes freshness and gives us a youthful, glass-skin appearance. Do you wish to achieve that “no makeup” look?
If you’re planning to revamp your makeup routine for the upcoming school year, or maybe finally start one, look no further than these inspired ideas featuring Asia’s superstar, Kathryn Bernardo.
Fresh-Faced Minimalist
Starting with a ‘no makeup’ makeup look, the simplicity of fresh-faced minimalism remains well-loved. Use a sheer powder foundation for your base to achieve a smooth, even skin tone. Skip the eyeshadow entirely and define your lashes with mascara to bring your eyes to life. Then accentuate your lips’ natural color and keep them hydrated with a lip balm. This look is perfect if you want an effortless vibe that enhances your features.
Naturally Dewy
Seeking a lit-from-within radiance? Dewy-finish makeup, unlike matte formulas, provides added hydration and lighter coverage. Because it reflects light, it adds a shiny, youthful look to natural barely-there makeup styles. For your base, opt for a lightweight foundation or, even lighter, a skin tint. Apply blush and highlighter in subtle touches, then seal the look with mascara and a lip gloss or sheer lipstick.
Bushy Brow Chic
Don’t frown now—this makeup look is all about achieving fuller brows that provide a soft, dramatic appearance while boldly framing your face. Begin by filling sparse areas on your eyebrows with a brow pencil or powder, following your natural arch and using feather-like strokes. Focus on adding hair where needed, not color. Amp up the bushiness by coating the tiny hairs and back-combing (grooming the brows in the opposite direction) with a tinted brow gel. Keep the rest of your makeup minimal: a light coverage base, a hint of neutral eyeshadow, and nude or rosy lipstick. Your bushy brows will draw attention to your eyes and give you a fresher look.
Simple Monochromatic
For those looking for a pop of color, monochromatic makeup looks are the go-tos because they bring harmony to the face. Any base of your choosing, depending on what finish you desire, will do. This look only requires you to use a single shade for your eye, cheek, and lip makeup. A great starting point is a soft pink or peachy hue. As you become more comfortable, you can explore other shades such as brown or terracotta.
Soft Glam
Soft glam makeup is the subdued cousin of full glam and the dramatic cousin of no-makeup makeup. Opt for buildable base products for a sheer finish, applying lightweight concealer only where needed. Set your base makeup with loose powder to achieve smoother and more even skin. Now for the fun part: create soft, smoky eyes. Start with a color matching your skin tone, add a slightly brighter shade, and finish with a darker hue to blend the colors seamlessly. Keep the rest of your eye, cheek, and lip makeup simple. This look is perfect for those who want a sophisticated appearance that still complements everyday wear.
