Makeup is a fun process that requires time to perfect. With so many new beauty trends popping up on the internet every other day, our inner beauty enthusiast just can’t resist them. But, while we love dipping our toes into a new beauty trend every once in a while, sometimes we’ve got to take the shortcut with simple makeup looks. Every once in a while, when you’re forced to choose between trying a new beauty trend and rushing to get somewhere on time, going for simple makeup takes the cake. So to ensure you never run out of ideas, we’ve created a list of makeup looks that will keep you looking ready to take on the day always. Whether you’re running errands on a day off, rushing to work in the morning, or just super late for a catch-up with your girls.
8 simple makeup looks and Simply Nam’s picks have got your back
Look 1: No-makeup makeup
The classic simple makeup look that never fails, all you need is a few minutes to achieve this clean girl look. To begin, create a flawless base using a skin tint, concealer, or BB/CC Cream, and blend it all in with your fingers or a makeup sponge for a seamless finish. Follow it up with a liquid or cream blush for a subtle flushed look. For the eyes, go in with a coat of mascara; you can even opt for a brown mascara to add to the whole natural-looking vibe. And finish off the look with a swipe or two of a tinted lip oil. (P.S. - carry it in your bag for quick touch-ups during the day.)

Look 2: French girl makeup
No, it’s not about the bold red lip like you’ve seen Emily wearing in Paris; it’s more to do with a fresh-faced look that radiates a healthy glow. Effortless yet polished, this subtle makeup look requires the least amount of products because this is about letting your natural beauty shine. For this look, all you need is a few dots of concealer or even a tinted moisturiser, a mascara to add length & volume to the lashes, a lip balm, gloss or tint, and a touch of subtle blush to help add some colour to your face.

Look 3: Natural soft glam
Ideal for special events, this glam yet subtle makeup look is easy to put together any time, and anywhere. Of course, the base of this look is good skin and the perfect skin prep routine, but there’s more to this look than just that. All you need is a lightweight, hydrating base product like a tinted moisturiser, a concealer to cover up any spots, an eyeshadow palette with an array of neutral shades to choose from, a mascara, a subtle shade of blush, and the perfect nude lipstick to tie the makeup look together.

Look 4: Strawberry girl makeup
This subtle makeup look was all the rage for its cutesy appeal and how perfectly it fits into the ‘girl’s girl’ vibe that we’re currently obsessed with. Monochromatic with hints of pinks & reds, this simple makeup look is ideal for a subtle, daytime glam look. To start, mix a drop or two of liquid highlighter into your base product, or use an illuminating primer to get a glowy base. Then add some colour to your face with berry-toned cream blush, and use the same product for your lips. Top that off with a hydrating lip oil or gloss to complete the look.

Look 5: Kohl-rimmed eyes
This simple makeup look radiates peak desi-girl energy. Think: kohl-rimmed eyes paired with a tiny bindi, and pretty jhumkas. This is possibly the most low-effort look that you can ace in just 5 minutes. All you need is a concealer to cover up any spots or dark circles under the eyes, a black or brown kajal pencil, mascara, and a tinted lip balm or a lipstick of your choosing. Apply your concealer, swipe on the kajal on your upper and lower lash line, add a coat of mascara to it, and finish off with a lip product, and you’re ready to head out!

Look 6: Colourful or jewel-toned eyes
This one’s more on the playful side, but just as simple to create for when you’re running between parties. All you need is a bit of shimmer and colourful eyeliner to draw attention to your eyes, while the rest of your makeup plays a supporting role with a minimal approach. Keep your base light and lips on the neutral side of the scale while your eyes do the talking. 100% impact, 0% effort, that’s how we like to describe this simple makeup look.

Look 7: Cat or winged eyeliner
Work-friendly, date-friendly, dinner-friendly, you name it, this look will fit right into it. That’s how versatile a simple cat or winged eyeliner look is. This subtle makeup look just requires an eyeliner with intense colour payoff and some serious eyeliner drawing skills. If you want to elevate this look, you can create a neutral base for your eyelids and then go in with your eyeliner. Want to make it more subtle than this look already is? Put the eyeshadow palette to use to create a tiny eyeliner using an angled brush just at the corners of your eyes. Don’t forget the mascara and a lip product of your choosing.

You just need to keep your volumising & lengthening mascara and lipstick handy to create the look, and even for a quick touch-up later in the day. For the base, keep it light to ensure all the attention is drawn only to your bright lips.
