19. Keep Makeup and Hair Polished
Sleek hair and subtle, fresh makeup are essential to completing a chic look. Allure’s founding editor-in-chief, Linda Wells, advocates for a minimalist approach, stating, “More trouble is caused by too much than too little.” (thezoereport.com) This philosophy emphasizes enhancing natural features with minimal products. For instance, a light layer of foundation can even out skin tone without masking natural beauty. Wells suggests applying a light layer of “the basics” and allowing makeup to settle before adding more if necessary.
When choosing between minimalist and dramatic makeup, consider the occasion and personal comfort. Minimalist makeup focuses on enhancing natural features with subtle tones, ideal for everyday wear. In contrast, dramatic makeup involves bold colors and defined features, suitable for special events.
