5 makeup products to use if you're on a makeunder

By Jansen Ramos

Instagram makeup is now off the radar. Most people have started toning down their bold, dramatic makeup look to give their skin much-needed TLC.

On a makeunder, instead of using 10 to 15 products for a "natural" face, you can just settle for 4 to 5 products and still rock a fresh look.

Here, we've listed five key products you can put on your kikay kit for your makeunder project.

1. BB Cream

Giving up foundation is the primary step to achieving an effective makeunder.

Most people who undergo makeunder preferred makeup products that have light coverage and less cake-y formula.

To achieve a healthy-looking complexion, use BB Cream, also known as beauty balm or blemish balm, as base. BB Cream is known to be packed with UV protection, brightening and evening skin tone properties, and tint in one.

2. Angled eyebrow pencil

Ditch dramatic eyebrows and go for natural-looking brows by using an angled eyebrow pencil.

Compared to a pointed one, an angled eyebrow pencil can easily create hair-like strokes for more realistic-looking brows.

3. Brown mascara

On a makeunder, products that can make your eyes look heavy should be avoided.

Since you'd be shying away from eye defining products like eye shadow and eyeliner, use mascara to highlight the eyes. Get a brown shade if you want softer, natural-looking lashes.

Cream blush's formula is easy to blend and easy to build, giving you the natural flush look.

Unlike powder blush, cream blush creates a second-skin finish that makes it long lasting.

If you want lip moisture with a hint of color, we have three words for you: tinted lip balm.

Tinted lip balm does not just add color to the lips but also hydrates and nourishes them. It seals in moisture and protects the lips from external exposure.

Drop those false lashes, smokey eye shadow, full coverage foundation, and embrace the au naturel look by using these makeup products!
