The Best Products to Achieve the “Natural Look”

We’ve all reached the stage where we roll out of bed, turn the camera off on Zoom and stay bare-faced and comfy. It’s the new way of life, and VALLEY is here for it! These days, the look is either bare-faced or minimalist clean makeup

Quarantine, while having many downsides, has given us the time to take care of ourselves. The new focus now is natural and clean beauty, and the beauty industry has been backing this trend.

Many makeup companies are displaying their models with bare skin and rosy cheeks and moving away from full glam. With TikTok being all the rage, The Ordinary has made its way into the beauty industry, causing many conversions to beauty au natural.

The brand has managed to sell and create many affordable natural serums, oils, and masks, that leave people glowing in their natural skin. You may have heard of cult-favorite brands like bareMinerals and Milk Makeup; however, other brands such as Bite Beauty, Juice Beauty, Ilia and Tower28 are additional clean beauty brands that have been dominating the industry. These makeup brands have been promoting clean products that are vegan and cruelty-free. They give that natural look while also keeping your skin healthy.

Overall, within these past few months, many stars have been behind this trend of clean beauty. Selena Gomez came out with a cruelty-free makeup line called Rare Beauty. The basis of the line has been about emphasizing the importance of feeling comfortable in your own skin and enhancing your true beauty.

Other stars such as Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, Kourtney Kardashian, Salma Hayek, and Dua Lipa have all rocked the no-makeup look with pride and have really been making a positive impact on social media, encouraging others to go bare and embrace their natural beauty.

It’s important to love yourself and be comfortable in your skin, know what you’re putting on your face and go for products that will keep your skin healthy. Go for a natural makeup look, or wear no makeup ladies. Take care of yourself, pamper yourself and love your skin!
