How To Look Feminine Without Makeup.
Of course you want to implement the repetitive and typical tips we always read about in this topic such as hydration, getting good sleep, cleansing the face, etc. But..
I want to go a bit further as to everything else I had tried and implemented with success in looking better without makeup and actually getting a younger and more feminine looking face.
Look Good Without Makeup
To look good without makeup and to look better without makeup, we must focus on skin texture, it’s vibrance and facial features. In this article we will be discussing;
- Skin Texture
- Skin Vibrance

Skin Texture
Okay, starting with the basics before we go further in detail, just to recap.
Controlling skin breakouts and keeping skin supple & plump creates an attractive and healthy texture of the skin. We know consumption of healthy food can minimize inflammation which means possible less acne flare ups.
Cutting out a lot of sugar and unhealthy foods, and replenishing my body with a surplus of fruits and veggies along with a simple skin care routine is what cleared years of horrible breakouts.
I personally no longer find the need to exfoliate with a rough scrub after finding a brilliant cleanser that does so for me in a gentle manner. My idea of double cleansing is the gentle cleanser and then the SA Cleanser from Cerave that exfoliates without abrasion.
This along with a spritz of thermal water to let my simple Vitamin C serum from Cerave penetrate deep into the skin. For a super softening addition for any dryness in my face, I at times will use the Cerave Moisurizing Cream. I use this cream all over my body daily.
I went from testing countless products including all the top french skin care products (which may be incredible for some people) but realized that good old fashioned Cerave was the best for my skin. once I simplified that routine with top products, I got rid of a decade of stubborn acne on my jaw. My skin has yet to achieve the flawless look but it’s far more comfortably clear than it has ever been before.
Basics Recap:
- Lower The Sugar / Poor Nutrient Dense Foods
- Increase The Fruits, Veggies, Herbs
The Simple Products That Healed Me:
{I’ve purchased these 6+ times}
- La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Cleanser
- Cerave Renewing SA Cleanser

UPDATE: Below are my most favorite & most purchased [on repeat]. If you purchase off Amazon, I make a baby commission so I do thank you for that. The extras above I still use, however these below are THE ONE AND ONLY’S for the past 6 months+ .
Note: Always check the ingredients and make sure to ease yourself into any new products. Consulting with a professional is always best 😉
Skin Vibrance
Mastering this trick alone will instantly make you look better without makeup.
When choosing clothing to wear (especially when being bare faced) select shades that compliment your skin tone and give you a prettier, healthier look. If you have more yellow tone in skin wear yellow or golden colors or colors with some warmth.
I mention this throughout The MiniSkirt Files, and that’s to google the phrase, “What Season Am I?”
This will help you select colors that bring a vivaciousness to your complexion based on your skin tone, hair coloring and eyes. All of these play amongst each other and selecting the right colors to wear will either brighten your face, make you look good without makeup, or make you look dull if improper colors are chosen.
For the most simple way of finding your colors, hold a garment up to your face in the mirror. Does this color brighten your complexion? Make you look fresher? Prettier?
Or does it give your skin a duller appearance?
Facial Glow
Healthy color and glow of the skin is most definitely attainable without makeup. There are several studies that mention increased attractiveness after consumption of fruits and vegetables due to the carotenoids giving the skin some color.
Juicing vegetables and just increasing your intake of them create a vibrance in the skin that is unsurpassable.
I will say juicing is the quicker route of achieving this but always look into this with good research and speak to your physician before trying it out if you haven’t done so just yet.
It has been shown that carrots produce a natural color similar to a light tan in the skin.
Facial Glow & Contour Cheat Trick:
Although it isn’t necessarily makeup, it is somewhat similar. I would always use a light coat of self tanner on the face for a glow without makeup.
Taking It Up A Step For Those A Little More Advanced:
I’d contour my face just a bit to give even more depth. I’d put a little bit of the self tanner at my temples, contour my forehead some, and at my jaw. This step you must be very careful as if you use too much or leave it on too long it can leave dark and obvious streaks on the face, Oh my!

Look Younger Without Makeup
To look younger without makeup, apply all of the strategies in this article in addition to the following tips listed in this section.
When we desire the more natural look, how to look younger without makeup, we can focus on our skin and facial features.
- Skin Texture {Discussed in Prev. Section}
- Skin Vibrance {Discussed in Prev. Section}
- Facial Features Look Lifted / Tight / No Sagging
- Facial Features Have A Well Rested Look
- Soft Feminine Additions {Further Detail in Next Section}
Let’s focus on the lifted and well rested look. How do we go about achieving this naturally?
Lift Facial Muscles Naturally
Of course look into this and maybe discuss it with a doctor beforehand. Face yoga helps to lift and tighten your facial muscles naturally. By doing face yoga regularly I was able to lift my cheeks – A major indicator of age.
I would do specific techniques that target my middle cheek and outer cheek. With consistency you can truly get some satisfactory results and make quite the difference in your features and overall facial appearance.
Well Rested & Lifted Eyes
The canthal tilt of the eye can make us look either more or tired more awake.
A positive canthal tilt is when the eye is more upturned at the outer corners. This creates a more youthful and well rested look.
To achieve a more positive canthal tilt Without Makeup & Naturally, learning proper face yoga techniques specifically designed for the eye is promising.
I must repeat, allways consult with an expert or doctor before doing anything new, and do start slow. Very slowly in fact, this is quite a delicate area and you wouldn’t want to put it in distress or cause wrinkling.
How To Look Feminine Without Makeup
To look feminine without makeup, implement the above strategies in addition to the following;
- Use Of Feminine Color
- Use Of Jewelry
- Feminine Garments
Wear Softer Colors
Especially ones that compliment your skin tone. If you have more yellow tone in skin, incorporate more warm colors but in soft, pastel-like shades.
Soft colors create an overall softening effect on our facial features and bring out a femininity within. Mauves, blush pinks, lilacs, creams, ivory colors are some to name. Try on several colors and see what creates the most beautifying effect to you.
In Make Your Face Look More Feminine: For a “Non-Typical” Beauty, I discuss this tip along with several other beneficial tips worth reading through that create an overall softness to the face and have a more feminizing effect.
Bring In A Simple Yet Dazzling Effect
Jewelry is a simple way to look more feminine without makeup. It creates a little sparkle, some glimmer in our look that can be perceived as highly feminine.
Simple stud earrings are a delightful way to put this into effect without being over the top. Simple pearl studs are another one of my favorites.
Pearls are super feminine and also have the lovely softening effect on facial features.
Wear Feminine Garments
Feminine silhouettes that create an overall feminine look are a brilliant way to look more feminine without makeup. Dress in silhouettes that show the feminine form.
If you do not want to wear anything tight or form fitting, simply playing with feminine fabric will result in a similar effect.
Draped clothing, flowing fabrics and delicate materials will give that essence of femininity without having to show off the shape if you may be a bit shy to.
