From Lashes to Lips: Creating the Perfect Neutral Makeup Look

Less is more in beauty, especially when it comes to getting a natural, everyday glam look. A natural makeup look can enhance your own beauty without overwhelming your features, and paired with lash extensions, it reaches a perfect harmony of soft glamour and firm definition. Whether you’re heading to a brunch date, a busy workday, or a casual evening out, a neutral makeup look with lash extensions is the ideal way to keep it chic, polished, and effortlessly glamorous. Here’s how to create the perfect neutral makeup look that complements your lashes to a tee.

Start with a Fresh Base

A glowing, faultless base is the foundation to any gorgeous makeup look. In a neutral makeup look, the finish should be natural and dewy so you can add some texture and color to your complexion. Start off with a light-coverage foundation or BB cream for a bright, airy feeling. If you want a slight bit more coverage, a medium-coverage foundation is the path to take without being too heavy.

Ensure to apply a light concealer to illuminate the area under your eyes and conceal blemishes while maintaining the entire appearance natural and even. Finish off with a light dusting of translucent powder to seal in place—particularly in your T-zone—to prevent over-shine during the day.

Adopt Soft, Neutral Eyes

The secret to the natural look for makeup is to have soft and subtle eyes but not let your lashes extensions be dominated. No heavy makeup eyeshadow or black eyeliner can make your eyes prominent if you have eyelash extensions. Instead, the warm and natural color of neutrals can highlight your natural eyelashes.

Start off with a light, flat eyeshadow in neutral tones like beige, taupe, or light brown to provide a natural tint over your lids. Blend completely so that the eyeshadow is even and blendy. Apply more definition by applying a darker version of brown to the crease to provide depth.

Skip the dramatic eyeliner and let your lash extensions be the star. For a little extra definition, apply a light line of soft brown eyeliner to the upper lash line to frame the look of your extensions. This provides a subtle, soft definition for the eyes without overshadowing the lashes.

Sculpt Your Brows Lightly

Brows frame the face and are in charge of pulling together any makeup look. To enhance a neutral makeup look and lash extensions, let your brows be soft and natural, yet defined. Fill in spotty areas and establish a clean, polished shape with a brow pencil or powder that most resembles your natural brow color. Brush out your brows with a spoolie so they appear soft and groomed.

For a bit more hold, apply a clear brow gel to set your brows in place all day long.

Define with Subtle Cheeks

A natural makeup look is complemented by a soft, glowing complexion. Experiment with a cream blush or light powder blush in peach, soft pink, or rose shades. Cream blushes will melt into the skin naturally, creating a natural, dewy appearance perfect for this look.

If you want to add yourself a little extra glow, apply a light highlighter to the tops of your face, including your cheekbones, brow bones, and along the nose bridge. Apply a gentle, natural-colored highlighter—a champagne or soft gold would be ideal—to maintain the overall look as neutral and refined.

Choose a Neutral Lip

A neutral lip is the perfect finishing touch to a soft, balanced face of makeup. Opt for colors appropriate to your skin tone, such as nude pinks, peach nudes, or soft browns. Matte finishes are ideal for a day-to-day, put-together appearance, but if you want a little bit of extra shine, a gloss in a coordinating color will leave you with a fresh, young appearance.

For a little extra definition, line your lips with a lip liner as close to your natural lip color as possible for a more full and defined pout without the look being overly dramatic.

Let Your Lash Extensions Shine

Lash extensions are the solution you desire when you desire a glamourous, fuss-free look. They provide the length, the volume, the definition to the eyes, which means you won't need mascara or full eyeshadow make-up to catch attention. And when you have them on alongside a natural-looking make-up scheme, your lash extensions become the center of attraction, providing as much drama as you need in your eyes without over-accessorizing your facial features.

One of the greatest things about lash extensions is that they can give any makeup look some oomph—whether you want a natural, effortless appearance or something more dramatic, glamorous. With lash extensions, you can skip the mascara and still get that full, fluttery lash look that's perfect for everyday wear.

Set with Setting Spray

To put in place your flawless neutral makeup finish, spritz some setting spray on to keep everything set. This way, your makeup will last all day long while you remain looking fresh, glowing, and fabulous.

The Takeaway: Effortless Elegance with Lash Extensions

A no-makeup makeup look combined with lash extensions is the ultimate means of obtaining that effortless, everyday glamour.
