With endless beauty tips floating around, one trend that’s taking centre stage is the Minimalist No Make-up Look. We’re over the days of piling on layers and layers of skincare and make-up. We just want our skin to breathe! Let’s be honest, our skin has been through a lot, dealing with an overload of products daily. If it could talk, it would probably say, “Can we just keep it natural, with a little glow on the side?”

I’m one of those people who is constantly on the hunt for that effortless, no-fuss make-up look. Some days, I swap the minimalist approach for a simple, easy routine – nothing too heavy, nothing too complicated. And if you’re nodding along, you’re in the right place!

We teamed up with Essence to create a fresh, everyday look that leaves you feeling radiant and put-together with minimal effort. But first things first – always start with a clean base. Wash away dirt, oil, and impurities, then lock in hydration with a good moisturiser. Your skin deserves that dewy, refreshed feel! Now, let’s get into it…

Your everyday essentials

Moisturiser: Essence Magic All In One Face Cream (because hydration is key!)

Primer: Essence Wonder Full Primer 5 in 1 (smooth, even skin incoming)

Foundation: Essence Stay All Day 16H Long-Lasting Liquid Foundation (comes in various shades)

Concealer: Essence Camouflage Concealer 70 (for those little touch-ups)

Bronzer: Essence Baby Got Bronze Liquid Bronzer 40 Tan-tastic (for that sunkissed glow)

Highlighter: Essence Baby Got Glow Liquid Highlighter 30 Breezy Bronze (hello, radiance!)

Eyeshadow: Essence Soft Touch Duo Eyeshadow in Bronze Beauty (a subtle, natural eye look)

Eyeliner: Essence Waterproof Retractable Eyeliner in Black or Brown (define those eyes)

Mascara: Essence Call Me Queen Dramatic False Lash Effect Mascara (lashes for days!)

Lip gloss: Essence Extreme Shine Volume Lip Gloss in Glazed Berry 13 (a glossy finish is always a win)

Setting spray and powder: Essence Instant MATT Make-up Setting Spray (to lock it all in place)

And there you have it! A simple, everyday routine that keeps you looking polished without the fuss. Whether you’re heading to work, a coffee date, or just running errands, this look has got you covered. Minimal effort, maximum glow… just the way we like it!
