Exploring 5 Unique Blush Placements for Various Facial Features with Karima McKimmie: A Natural Approach


Introduction: The YouTube video presents an easy-to-follow makeup tutorial for creating that coveted ‘no-makeup’ makeup look. This beginner-friendly tutorial, led by renowned beauty vlogger Jane Doe, focuses on achieving a fresh-faced look that enhances your natural features with minimal product usage. Learn her unique tips and techniques in our comprehensive guide and take a step towards embracing natural beauty with confidence.

Step-by-Step Guide:

Step 1: Begin with a clean, moisturized face. Jane stresses the importance of skincare as the secret to the glowing, natural-looking base for this makeup look.

Step 2: Apply a thin layer of a lightweight foundation matching your skin tone. Jane uses a beauty sponge for seamless blending.

Step 3: Add a touch of concealer under the eyes and on any blemish. The aim is not to mask, but only to subtly improve the skin’s appearance.

Step 4: Jane recommends using a cream blush for a natural flush on the cheeks. Blend it outwards to create a subtle glow.

Step 5: With an eyebrow pencil close to your natural hair color, fill in the gaps of your brows following the natural shape.

Step 6: Use a clear or slightly-tinted mascara to give your lashes a boost without appearing overdone.

Step 7: Finish off with a hydrating lip balm or a sheer lipstick to add a hint of color.

Key Tips and Advice:

The key to this natural look is in blending the products well to mimic the skin. Less is more, and building up slow layers is better than applying too much product in one go. Jane’s tips of using cream products, investing in a good beauty sponge, and sticking to neutral shades can make even the makeup novices achieve this look with ease.

Conclusion:

Jane’s tutorial is a call to appreciate our beauty in its most natural form. Beauty doesn’t always equate to layers of makeup. Sometimes, it is embracing your skin with all its uniqueness and amplifying it with a touch of artistry.

    I was thinking I've been doing my blush the same way since the 70's. Yes I'm that old. I see that the Insta Filter is what I have been doing since the 70's but only with blush. I find that contour makes my face look dirty. I would like to find a nice drug store brand hi-liter. Great video.
