A quick scroll through Khushi Kapoor’s Instagram feed is enough to prove that her go-to makeup look involves luminous skin, flushed cheeks and rosy lips. Case in point—this throwback image she posted recently. The look is fresh, dewy and lets her real skin shine through. You only need a handful of products to achieve a no-makeup effect like this, but they need to be the right ones, and nothing heavy or powdery will do. Also, remember that a generous pre-makeup skincare routine will do most of the work for you. Here’s how you can recreate this look in no longer than 10 minutes.
Get the look: Khushi Kapoor’s radiant skin and pink stained lips
- Give your face a two-minute massage with a creamy moisturiser and apply a hydrating balm on your lips. You can also use a glow-boosting cream like the Bobbi Brown Extra Illuminating Moisture Balm in Bare Glow all over your face for added sheen. Don’t forget SPF if you’re going to be heading out in the sun.
- Use your fingers to apply a lightweight tinted moisturiser like the NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30, followed by a creamy concealer. Dab setting powder only in areas where you tend to get oily using a small tapered brush to retain maximum glow.
- Fill any gaps in your brows with an eyebrow pencil and brush them into place with a spoolie. Skip mascara for this look, but don’t forget to curl your lashes.
- Dab a few dots of a watery cheek and lip tint like the Benefit Cosmetics Benetint Cheek & Lip Stain on the apples of your cheeks and blend, making sure to blur all the edges before the product dries. Then, blot away any excess lip balm and use the same tint on your lips. Apply a cream highlighter on the high points of your cheeks and along the bridge of your nose.
- Lastly, spritz your face with a hydrating face mist like the Huda Beauty Glow Coco Hydrating Mist that will work as an extra dose of moisture and also hold your makeup in place throughout the day.
