Step 1: Cleanse & Prep Your Skin

Before putting on any makeup, you must cleanse your skin, apply moisturiser and SPF. If you ask us, the Sebamed Cleansing Foam is one of our top picks for a cleanser; it maintains the ph level of your skin and fights bacteria to prevent acne. The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel is an excellent moisturiser that gets absorbed quickly and doesn't make your skin feel oily. As for SPF, we have quite a few options; the Sunscoop Invisible Sunscreen (SPF 40) and Re'equil Ultra Matte dry touch make it to the top two.

Step 2: Concealer

In an effortless makeup look, there's no need for a heavy foundation; just concealer over the pigmented areas of your face can do the trick. You can blend this with a brush, beauty blender or your fingers. Beginner or expert, the Maybelline New York Fit Me Concealer range is a superb buy for the price. The coverage is decent, and the concealer blends pretty easily. The Huda Beauty Overachiever concealer range will be a no-brainer if we look at a high-end brand. It has a metal tip that works to depuff eyes, gives full coverage, and a little product goes a long way.

This step probably takes 2-3 minutes.

Step 3: Powder

Powder sets the concealer in place. You can either buy loose powders or go with the more traditional route with compacts, both get the job done alike. We like the Maybelline New York Fit me Loose Finishing Powder. This one works well and doesn't become cakey or too drying on the skin, but it's only available in 4 shades. We also like ASA Beauty's Powder Foundation, which comes in 11 shades and is all about sustainability and being clean! Another compact powder that is loved by people worldwide is the M.A.C. Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation, available in 38 different shades and gives flawless coverage.

This step takes about 1 minute.

Step 4: Blush

Easily our favourite step of this routine! Blush just brings a nice flush of colour and warmth to your face. Apply it on the apples of your cheeks and a little bit around your nose to give that sunkissed effect. Compact blushes are great, but we love our cream bushes for an effortless routine as they're super easy and quick to blend. Moreover, cream based products ensure a glowy finish, which we're all about!

Top picks include Benefit Cosmetics Benetint and Just Herbs Enriched Lip and Cheek Tint. Not only do they work as great blushes but you can also use them as a lip tint, and if you're feeling a little extra you might as well add a little colour to your eyelids.

This step would take about 2 minutes.

Mascara

It's all about less is more in this look, so we prefer wearing mascara over eyeliner. It'll instantly wake up your eyes and make a massive difference. Multiple LBB Crew members use Brash by FAE Beauty. It works great as a mascara and doesn't clump your eyelashes, but that's not even the best part, because you can use this as a brow gel too. I was pretty skeptical for a person who has never done brow makeup, but it hardly takes a few strokes to get your brows on fleek.. it's unbelievably easy. 

Consider taking 2-3 minutes here if you're doing brows and applying mascara.

Lips

Forest Essentials Tinted Lip Serum

For this look, we're looking for something that enhances our natural lips, nothing too striking. The Benefit Benetint and Just Herbs Tint (recommended above for cheek tints) work perfectly, so you don't need to get something extra. But if we were to recommend one more, then Forest Essentials Tinted Lip Serum Madhu Rasa Jamun is worth every penny. It gives a great flush of colour and stays surprisingly longer than we thought. RAS Luxury Oh-So-Luxe Tinted Liquid Lip Balm is also a superb pick, more so because you can use it as a blush as well.

This step hardly takes a minute.
