Do you spend hours every day in front of the mirror to look beautiful? Makeup is not the only way to express yourself and highlight expressive facial features. Give preference to natural beauty.
We know that without the usual morning routine with dozens of colorful jars, tubes and brushes that magically transform us into the best version of ourselves, many women feel insecure and even vulnerable. But, believe me, the people around you perceive everything completely differently, and their true sympathy does not depend on whether you have makeup on your face.
In 2008, a study was conducted in which scientists tried to identify the psychological aspect of the cornerstone question “why do women wear makeup?” As a result, 2 main reasons were identified:
- Masking. This option is used mainly by restless and insecure women to appear less noticeable.
- Seduction. It is preferred by extroverted women who want to appear more attractive to society. Makeup gives them confidence, determination and openness.
According to an American survey, 44% of women do not want to leave the house without makeup and believe that if they show their natural, “naked” face, people will treat them differently.
According to a recent survey conducted in Ukraine and analytics from the Picodi resource, the average Ukrainian woman spends more than UAH 7,000. per year for decorative cosmetics, while the cosmetic bag contains about 30 different products, the most popular and in demand of which are mascara, makeup base, eyebrow pencil, foundation and highlighter. In addition, the girls admit that more than half of the available cosmetics lie idle and in total no more than 11 units are used daily.
A good reason to reconsider your funds and priorities. Perhaps it's time to try to get rid of existing imperfections on your face instead of masking them every day?
Natural beauty reflects your inner state (physical and mental) and how well you take care of yourself. Self-love begins with caring. This is what all the advice in the article will be based on.
Brows
No matter what anyone says, eyebrows play an important role in any type of makeup without it, so makeup artists always start with the eyebrows. Eyebrow correction will help give them a neat shape that best suits your face type.

Firstly, proper skin care is important - I’m not saying anything new here. Sports also help me a lot: if I go for a run in the morning, I see the gym skin effect in the mirror (we talked about what it is in the link). If I have time, I do an express face mask. I don’t apply foundation, but I work on the area under the eyes with a roller massager and cover up bruises with a moisturizing concealer.
Overall, to keep your skin looking hydrated and glowing, drink enough water, get enough sleep, and worry less!
Leather
Ideal skin is the key to beauty even if you don’t use cosmetics. To ensure smooth skin without any blemishes or rashes, cosmetic care alone will not be enough. Pay attention to your diet and meal times. Drink plenty of water, sleep 8 hours a day and avoid bad habits.
Remember! Alcohol and an abundance of fast food, drinks with sugar (soda) and other things lead to the skin becoming covered in rashes and swelling.
How to be beautiful without makeup: little tricks
We use cosmetics to correct some of our shortcomings. Insufficiently plump lips, short eyelashes or greasy shine ruin our lives. Sympaty.net will tell you how to look beautiful without makeup.
Removing oily shine from the face
Make a clay mask for oily skin once a week. Wipe your skin with lemon juice or a slice of citrus.
Liquid soap mixed with soda helps combat oily shine.
A frozen aloe leaf copes well with this problem.
Getting lush eyelashes
Eyelashes are the same as hair, so they need similar care - castor oil masks, eyelid massage to stimulate growth, herbal compresses (calendula, coltsfoot, chamomile, etc.).
If you are ready to pay attention to your appearance, you can try applying an oil mixture instead of mascara. This will make an interesting accent on the eyes and allow you to look good without makeup.

Let's not ignore lips
They also need a massage. You can do it with a regular toothbrush. After frequent use, lipsticks “steal” the natural color of the lips, so it is better to use natural balms instead, which will shine beautifully and be beneficial.
The ideal lip product is coconut oil. It will make your lips soft and help fight cracks.
Taking care of your hair
It is important that your hair is always in order! Therefore, do not be lazy to take care of them and solve emerging problems in a timely manner. For example, many people buy vitamins A, E, D at the pharmacy and add them to a tube of shampoo - this vitamin complex promotes growth. If you dream of thick hair, use castor or burdock oil, massage with cedar oil.
The right hairstyle can also highlight different parts of the face, highlighting its natural beauty.
“A move made me think about giving up morning makeup: I started living far from work and simply didn’t have time to put on makeup. But I decided not to resort to a radical refusal, I did everything gradually. First the shadows “gone”, then the lipstick, followed by the mascara. The hardest part was giving up foundation because I didn't like my complexion. Kefir masks and rubbing with cucumber three times a week helped. Today I don’t wear makeup at all and I’m beautiful without makeup!”
Using our tips, you will understand how easy it is to be beautiful without makeup, gain healthy skin and some free time.

Lip scrub
No one likes it if the skin on their lips is rough, cracked and chapped, so you need to carefully monitor it. A light scrub, which can be easily made at home from coffee and sugar, will help exfoliate excess, and a moisturizing balm or homemade aloe will nourish the skin with moisture and vitamins.
Beautiful lip skin will look even better than with lipstick or gloss!
Girls without makeup: 25 tips on how to look beautiful
Night cream will help you wake up and look your best. Many of you may be asking if a night cream is necessary, and the answer is a big yes! During the day, we are all exposed to pollution, smoke, sun and a lot of free radicals, which pollute our skin and cause premature aging. You should use night time to rejuvenate your skin by providing it with enough nutrients and moisture. You should consider purchasing a high-quality night cream that is suitable for your skin type when your skin is in rest mode. Getting a good night's rest with a night cream will dramatically change the way your skin looks and feels in the morning!
Maintain good posture
Proper posture alignment will not only allow you to work more efficiently and avoid strain on your spine, muscles and ligaments, but it will also have an impact on how you appear to others. Slouching and poor posture can make you look much older, in addition to damaging your back and negatively affecting your energy levels. Always be mindful of how you sit, walk and move around because it really does matter – even as you get older.
Use nourishing face masks
What could be better than pampering yourself with a nourishing face mask on a Friday night? Sounds relaxing, right? It's very easy to make these masks at home with ingredients from your kitchen (If you like natural methods). A weekly mask regimen helps your skin get some extra care and attention, leaving your face looking youthful. Based on your skin type, prepare a mask that suits your needs, put it on and relax! You can use ingredients like honey, aloe vera, yogurt, oatmeal and fruits as these are very popular options for homemade masks.
Sleep on a silk pillowcase
Sleeping on a silk pillowcase is great for your face and hair - it can help it stay healthy and can reduce the appearance of wrinkles on your face. Silk is also naturally resistant to dust mites and other allergens. These pillowcases have become a new fad, but beyond just being a fad, they have some very significant benefits. You have to try them to check!
Engage in activities that make you happy
Apart from all external factors, the most important thing is to keep yourself truly happy. The stress and monotony of our daily lives will dim our sparks and make us really frustrated and sad. Make sure you set aside some time for yourself and engage in activities that bring you happiness—whether it's painting, cycling, listening to music or cooking. Even if the only thing that makes you happy is your morning coffee - live for that coffee consumption and make it wonderful. Take time out for yourself and focus on the euphoria and magical part of life. Do often what makes your soul happy!
Love yourself and your flaws
You must love yourself to such an extent that your energy and aura rejects anyone who does not know your worth. Self-love is not selfish - it is just as important as the love you so freely give to others. We all have flaws, but if you eliminate them, it will mean giving up yourself, without which you would not be yourself. We are just giving some advice - love every part of yourself!
Ladies, your inner beauty never needs makeup, so why should your physical beauty need work? These were the 25 best tips to look beautiful naturally without the help of makeup. Do you have a favorite piece of advice that you always follow? Share with us in the comments section below!
Health and natural beauty
According to fashion experts, the new trend is associated with careful care. If a few decades ago few people took proper care of their appearance, now everything has changed. Better care than before is associated with a healthy lifestyle. If you want to have glowing skin, take note of these simple rules:
- take care of your health. The girl’s face, whose photo without makeup is strikingly beautiful, speaks of her passion for healthy lifestyle. Proper nutrition, moderate exercise and sports are the components of success. However, we must remember that strict diets are unacceptable. The body must receive all the necessary nutrients. Fatty acids, collagen, antioxidants should be present in your diet;
- do not forget about replenishing vitamins and microelements. If you live in an area with a harsh climate, take vitamin complexes. The bonus of such supplements is that they improve not only the skin, but also hair and nails;
- take proper care of your skin. Cleansing, toning and moisturizing are the pillars of such care. First, determine your skin type. Next, follow the cosmetologist’s recommendations, not forgetting about salon procedures;
- The next step after cleansing is injections. If you're not into anti-aging treatments, there's nothing wrong with them.

To look and feel good, I need to get enough sleep. Since there is no opportunity to sleep in the morning and during the day (I have a small child and work), I go to bed at 22.00-23.00. I get up early, at 6 o’clock. I take a contrast shower, which invigorates me greatly!
I also have my eyelashes and eyebrows tinted by a specialist once a month.
I can easily manage without tone; moreover, I don’t use it in the summer. If I don’t sin with nutrition, my skin thanks me with a fresh shine and even radiance. And no blush looks as natural and fresh as rosy cheeks from a walk in the fresh air.
About how to live well without makeup and filters
For some reason, they deleted a post about how Oksana Lavrentieva’s daughter, Alina, wrote an article in Tatler about how to live well without makeup.
For some reason they deleted it, I don’t even know why(
Probably because Alina is there with cigarettes, right?
I realize my mistakes and post without cigarettes.
And so, there is a new writer in the cat family, meet
I will not post the text itself. You can't, you can't, you can't, I understand.
Quotes only.
Alina tells us that it took her five years to come to life without makeup.
When she lived in Moscow, and then at the English school Stowe, she got up at least an hour and a half before the start of classes and made a mess.
It seemed to her that without a layer of plaster she was not beautiful enough, not noticeable enough, and in general she would be judged.
In Stowe, by the way, there is a rule: if you wear makeup, then it should be very natural, maximum concealer and mascara. At the same time, all the girls had very sharp eyebrows and a lot of orange self-tanning. But classmates did not transform themselves on social networks; this was considered a terrible bad manners. Only a couple of Russian girls used facetune.
From there, from the British boarding house, Alina looked at the faces of her Moscow friends on Instagram. And I didn’t recognize them. Where the nose was, there was a damaged cheek. And if you ask directly, they will answer: “What festival? What are you talking about? I don't understand".
Alina started Instagram in 2013. She was fifteen and she was there with very, very makeup. It seems that she never left the house with a bare face, and generously added effects to the photos. You won’t see these pictures because Alina deleted almost everything, including the sunset landscapes. Sometimes there were selfies, sometimes her mother took pictures of her. Alina’s mother is wise - she never said that you should wash your face. Mom used to do bright makeup herself. Probably, as in Alina’s case, it was protection from people, but lately Oksana Lavrentieva has been wearing makeup much less. Why, if she already has amazing skin? In December, Alina and her mother shot together for the lookbook of Alexander Terekhov - there they have exactly the amount of makeup that is needed by new standards.
Alina says that when, after England, she entered ESMOD/ISEM in Paris and looked around, it was amazing.
Here, voluntarily, without school rules, almost no one goes beyond the “concealer plus mascara” limit. Photoshop is openly ridiculed, as are those who use it. No, this does not mean that in Paris they do not retouch at all. There is such subtlety here. Instagram in France is not a very important thing; French girls don’t know how to manage it. Snapchat is much more popular, and photos are posted there first. And Snapchat has its own filters, and everyone uses them - but delicately, as if unnoticeably.
Alina had to adjust herself to a new wave. She asked herself: “ Why am I worse? Why do I have to hide behind a mask all the time? “I started looking for a problem in my appearance - and didn’t find it. Then Alina said to herself: if she doesn’t love her real self, then who will? When she came to class for the first time without makeup, she received a lot of compliments. It was a shock - she still believed that she was not pretty enough.
Alina worked out a new strategy in Paris against the backdrop of her developing personal life. Even during the period when she put on makeup every day (she had time and desire for this), she met a young man at a party.
He is French, he has his own store, a fashionable multi-brand . They met in full dress. He looked at her and looked at her - and invited her to dinner. And then they went to Deauville in a large group. There he said that Alina looks amazing without makeup. And that now it is very difficult to find a girl who looks good both with and without makeup.
When snow suddenly began to fall in Paris this winter, her fellow French students, out of habit, hid under the awnings.
And Alina and her friend enjoyed it. And they tried to take good photos. It was then that she first posted herself on Instagram without any filters. In glasses, with snow melting on her unstyled hair, in a wet parka, with her paws tucked in. And with the signature I'm so fucking sick and tired of the photoshop .
Here Alina immediately warned the journalists that this was a quote from the song Humble by Kendrick Lamar. Nowadays it’s important to know rappers so as not to screw up,” added Alina.

Mom Oksana commented: “You are 13 years old here” (in general Oksana is almost 20). The young man told her: “ I didn’t think you would take the risk. You are here as you are. Alina, I’m very proud of you.”
And these are recent photos of Alina from Instagram, confirming her words about the beauty of natural beauty without makeup and photos with her paws tucked.

I can easily do without decorative cosmetics...except for the tone. It’s hard to replace it: but summer is for relaxation! Including for skin rest. Ice cubes are good in the morning, they remove puffiness under the eyes, normalize skin color, and awaken you.
I will give up makeup in two cases:
I'm wearing autogasar (drops of St. Moriz). The main thing here is to apply it correctly and wash your hands after. If you're afraid of blemishes, add a drop to your moisturizer or try James Read's overnight mask.
Did eyebrow tinting or long-term styling. I am for dyeing with henna. As they say, I woke up like this!
And most importantly, don’t forget about SPF! In summer, it is imperative to protect your skin, especially bare skin, without makeup. My favorite cream is Ultra UV Protective Daily Moisturizer from Ultraceuticals.
At the same time, there are always napkins in your bag. During the day, I have oily shine in my T-zone, and wipes help quickly correct the situation (I talked about them here).
Do a facial massage
It is known that most faces are asymmetrical and this is expressed differently in everyone: for some, one side of the face is wider than the other or one of the cheekbones is less pronounced, for others the shape of the eyes or the height of their location are barely noticeable, etc. Psychologists say that people with slight asymmetry are perceived as more attractive on a subconscious level. Often such features are hidden with the help of makeup, but a more effective way is facial massage, which provides a healing and rejuvenating effect.
Particular attention should be paid to the lymph nodes under the ears on the neck. When these areas are blocked, lymphatic drainage becomes sluggish, leading to puffiness and dull skin color.
In 2021, a study was conducted on 12 women aged 30 to 54 years. After facial massage, analysis was performed using three-dimensional computed tomography. This helped to identify noticeable changes in the area of the nasolabial folds, as well as to identify a decrease in sagging skin in the area of the cheeks, chin and lower eyelid. In addition, massage helps to increase the production of elastic fibers, which slows down the appearance of imperfections on the face.

To make your skin look fresh and beautiful without foundation and powder, use a care product with a mattifying effect - it will make the skin velvety and even out the tone.
You can do without eye makeup, but giving your eyebrows a neat shape is a must. They can be combed or styled with a special transparent gel. If it is also a care product for strengthening eyebrows, you will solve two problems at once.
Don't forget to moisturize your lips with lip balm throughout the day - nothing ruins your look like dry and cracked skin. If you want to brighten up your look, use a tinted balm. It can also be used on the cheeks to achieve a healthy, natural glow.
Take care of your eyebrows
To look neat and well-groomed, you should always maintain the beauty of your eyebrows, then you won’t need any makeup. You can do this in a salon, or you can try it yourself and pluck your eyebrows at home. Choose the desired shape, and then draw imaginary boundaries. To make it easier, you can use a pencil or ruler. To understand where the eyebrow begins, draw a line from the wings of the nose upward; you can safely pluck out everything that goes beyond this line. The outer border is a diagonal line from the wings of the nose to the temples. It is better to start bending at the point through which the diagonal passes from the wings of the nose to the outer border of the iris.
