'Microdosing makeup is a fantastic way to create a polished, effortless 'no-makeup makeup' look,' an expert told Newsweek.
A world-renowned makeup artist has showcased a low-maintenance beauty hack called 'microdosing' to help you look refreshed when you're feeling exhausted.Lisa Eldridge presented this minimalist approach to glowing skin in a YouTube video that has already garnered 128,000 views.
'Sometimes when you are feeling really tired and exhausted, the temptation is very often to put on as much makeup as you can to sort of counteract those effects,' she explained in the video on her YouTube channel.However, Eldridge demonstrated that less is more, using only a few products already in her makeup bag to achieve a dewy, radiant look.To understand more about this emerging trend, Newsweek spoke to three makeup experts who shared their insights on how to master the art of microdosing makeup.Gen Waring, Owner and Makeup Artist at Waring Makeup'Microdosing makeup is a fantastic way to create a polished, effortless 'no-makeup makeup' look,' Gen Waring told Newsweek.'The beauty of this approach is its simplicity—it allows you to use minimal products in a strategic way, enhancing your features without the risk of overdoing it. It's especially perfect for days when you're feeling tired or want to look more awake without layering on heavy makeup.'She explained that the technique works best with basic products already in your makeup bag.Waring suggested warming a small amount of concealer or foundation with your fingertips to create a natural base and using lipstick as a multitasking product for a cohesive flush on the cheeks, lips and eyelids.For added glow, mixing lipstick with a cream highlighter or moisturizer can be effective.Waring emphasized that starting with minimal product and building gradually is key to avoiding a heavy finish, resulting in a fresh and natural look.She also highlighted the importance of intentionality in microdosing makeup, noting that lightweight layers can balance and refresh the face without drawing attention to texture or fine lines.Elaina Badro, Celebrity Makeup Artist at Charmed PRMicrodosing makeup is a game-changer for achieving a 'fresher' appearance with minimal effort. 'It's a good idea if you're not feeling like applying much or even for everyday wear,' Badro told Newsweek. 'Think the 'no-makeup makeup look.''For beginners, microdosing is an ideal starting point as it's not overwhelming. It allows you to focus on simple techniques and lightweight products, such as CC creams. These are excellent alternatives to traditional foundations because they're light in texture and can color correct uneven skin and hyperpigmentation.Badro also recommends her signature 'Duo Fiber Brush' for applying foundation. 'Using a stippling motion creates an airbrushed finish, especially when blending in circular motions. Focus on areas prone to dryness, such as the nose and mouth, for the best results,' she advised.Pilar DeMann, Co-Founder of Pilar BLLaC'My specialty in beauty is exactly this! I've always called it clean-looking, natural-appearing makeup,' DeMann shared. 'Brows, lashes, lips and cheeks—doing a small amount every day will help you look and feel better.'When using skin products like concealer or foundation, DeMann's philosophy is to apply them sparingly and only where needed.'It creates the illusion of a smooth, fine complexion without losing its natural dimension. I find when a face is covered in foundation, it looks flat and needs to be built back up. If you use less, you don't need to do this and you look better overall.'DeMann also emphasized practical techniques for everyday use. 'I teach people to put concealer very sparingly in the inner and outer corners of their eyes, a small, blended amount around their nose and on their chins. Just doing this makes your face look so good.'
