No more Foundation — This Magical New Makeup Method Will Blow Your Mind

Sick of Foundation But Want Flawless Skin? The Demi Makeup Method is About to Change Your Life.

If you're anything like me, you've probably been wearing foundation as part of your makeup routine for as long as you can remember.

Applying foundation is just what we've always done to even out our skin tone before adding the fun stuff like bronzer, blush and highlight.

But what if I told you that slapping on a thick layer of foundation every day is totally unnecessary and there's a better way?

I recently stumbled across something called the 'Demi Makeup Method' and it has honestly been a total game changer for me and my makeup routine.

Keep reading to find out exactly what it is and why you should give it a go.

What Is the Demi Makeup Method?

Unlike a full face of makeup, the Demi Makeup Method focuses on a light layer of colour correction rather than using foundation and heavy concealers.

The aim is to embrace your natural skin as much as possible and use strategic makeup to gently perfect imperfections rather than caking it on to create an entirely new canvas on your face.

It's all about working with what you've got rather than covering it up completely.

Less is more!

Why You Should Try The Demi Makeup Method

1. It's super fast and easy
   
   If you're someone who hates spending ages on your makeup before work every morning, the Demi Makeup Method is perfect for you.
   
   With way less product to apply, I've shaved at least 10 minutes off my daily routine.
   
   
2. So light and comfortable
   
   I don't know about you but I often find foundation, especially fuller coverage formulas, very heavy and mask-like on my skin.
   
   The Demi Makeup Method allows your skin to breathe and you avoid that dreaded caky feeling. It feels like you're wearing nothing at all!
   
   
3. Way more flattering
   
   Building up layers of makeup rarely looks good in real life.
   
   Embracing the natural contours of your face with strategic colour correction and concealing is way more flattering in my opinion!
   
   Lines and textures are emphasised less too.
   
   
4. It's better for your skin
   
   Limiting foundation use prevents clogging of pores allowing your skin to breathe.
   
   If you suffer from acne, skipping foundation can really help clear your complexion when paired with the right skincare routine.
   
   Even if you don't have problematic skin, giving your face a break from makeup allows it to function properly and maintain clarity.

How To Get The Demi Makeup Look

Instead of foundation, the Demi Makeup Method relies mainly on colour correction concealers and products.

This is key.

Look for lightweight liquid concealers in colours that target your specific problem areas whether it be dark circles, redness, pigmentation, dullness etc.

I like to apply concealer just where needed in a tapping motion then set lightly with powder using the same targeted method.

When building coverage with concealers, less is always more.

You still want your natural skin to show through.

Use luminsing products like liquid highlighters and luminizers rather than shimmery powders to liven up dull areas while retaining a lit-from-within glow.

When it comes to contour, cream and liquid bronzers and contours are best applied with a small targeted brush or sponge placement.

They give a softer look and aren't as harsh as their powder counterparts.

Always blend well so there are no obvious stripes!

I finish the look with a tinted brow gel, a touch of mascara and a nude lippie for that effortlessly enhanced vibe.

Who Should Try The Demi Makeup Method?

In my opinion, the Demi Makeup Method suits most skin types.

But it's not really about your skin - I feel it's for people who don't like wearing a ton of makeup yet still want to look and feel good.

No matter your skin, if you find full foundation makes your face look flat and weird looking, forcing you to re-sculpt everything with contour products, the Demi Makeup Method lets your natural beauty shine through while still perfecting flaws.

I feel so much more like my true self when I skip the heavy foundation!

It used to be standard practice to cake foundation on, no matter what.

I remember when I was in MUA class, my makeup teacher forcing me to apply foundation in thick applications.

It was awful being forced to obscure people's gorgeous natural skin, but applying thick foundation was the common belief.

I am so so glad that this belief has dissolved over time. As we've learned less is truly more.

Lightweight makeup reveals and enhances your beauty rather than masking it.

I wish I had trusted my instincts back then, embracing skin with gentle techniques like the Demi Makeup Method!

If you rely on full coverage foundation to mask imperfections, trying the Demi Makeup Method could be a total game-changer - you may find you don't need all that makeup after all!

It's also a great method for mature skin that may not be suited to layers and layers of heavy makeup.

Using lightweight luminizers and gently colour correcting avoids makeup settling into fine lines and wrinkles.

Basically, if you hate the mask-like feeling of foundation and love looking fresh faced and glowy, give this a try!

Pause the full coverage, embrace your skin and try the Demi Makeup Method. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised! 

The next time you do your makeup, challenge yourself to skip the foundation and try colour correcting instead. 

Come back here and let me know how you went! I'm excited for you all to feel as amazing as I do about this game changing technique.
