Get the Look: Thandie Newton—Barely There Makeup

Thandie Newton is a classic beauty.  When in full-on glam makeup she is breathtakingly beautiful.  But I’m equally as amazed at her natural beauty when wearing minimal makeup.  Or, she can add bold lip to her otherwise bare face and dress up an already perfectly adorned package.

But for those of us who need a little help getting to the “I rolled out of the bed looking like this” look, here are a few tricks that can give you a beautiful barely there makeup look.

Start with great skin.  Piling on makeup in lieu of developing good skin care habits is not the way to go.  Short term—you skin gets clogged and a vicious cycle erupts with a dependency on makeup to cover up not-so-perfect skin. Long term—skin looks older than it’s chronological age.

Try using a great cleanser, a double duty moisturizer daily and an exfoliant weekly.
