For the low-maintenance makeup user.

Have you ever felt like your makeup looks better in the middle of the day than when you first put it on? Well, you’re not alone, as there's now a name for that trend: “Lived-in” makeup. 

Makeup that has fully settled in radiates a natural skin texture, helping achieve that effortlessly dewy glow. Your makeup looks slightly messier, but that’s actually what gives the look its charm of "lived-in" makeup.

Content creators on Tiktok have been trying to recreate that midday makeup look, and the results are actually quite chic. It’s a simple, kind of messy, barely-there look that feels tailor-made for summer and the humid climate of the Philippines. 

Not yet entirely sold on the trend? Here are some celebrities we spotted who give off that “lived-in” makeup vibe:

How to Achieve the “Lived-In” Makeup Look

Want to give this low-maintenance makeup trend a go? Here’s what you’ll need:

1. Prep your skin

Start with a glowy moisturizer like the Pure Culture Bulgarian Rose Glam Gold Satin Crème to create a radiant base for your makeup.

2. Foundation and concealer

Apply a light layer of foundation and concealer that allows your natural skin texture and freckles to peek through while balancing out your skin tone. The Issy Active Skin Tint and Concealer can help you achieve that "your skin but better" look.

3. Contouring

Use a cream or liquid contour such as the GRWM Cosmetics Radiance Tint Multiuse Base in the Honey shade to get that snatched look. To avoid harsh lines, make sure to blend it well with a beauty blender.

4. Sunkissed blush

Achieve a sunkissed look by adding blush on your cheeks and across the bridge of your nose. For a natural-looking flush, use the BLK Cosmetics Creamy All Over Paint

5. Blotted lips

For the "lived in" lips effect, apply Sunnies Face Fluffbalm. Otherwise, take a regular lipstick, dab it on the center of your lips, and spread it out with your finger to create a natural, slightly faded lip tint.

6. Brows

Groom your eyebrows with a brow gel and lightly fill any sparse areas using an eyebrow pencil. Try the Ever Bilena Brow Serum Duo to achieve perfectly groomed brows.
