Go for a "less is more" look this Midsummer's Eve – let your natural beauty shine and complement it with a flower crown. Here, we share tips on how to highlight your beautiful features with minimal effort. We outline 5 steps for a naturally beautiful Midsummer look.
1. Prep with a Hydrating Mask
The key to a fresh, natural look is to prepare your skin with moisture. Nowadays, there are a variety of sheet masks available at different price points that quickly hydrate. Choose your favorite mask and apply it either the night before Midsummer's Eve or in the morning. A sheet mask provides a substantial moisture boost, giving you an even base with plenty of glow. This will help your makeup last throughout the day and enhance your natural features.
For a brighter look, you can use hydrating eye masks, which help to refresh and diminish dark circles under the eyes. This also provides a "blank canvas" for your eye makeup to apply more evenly. If you usually apply concealer under your eyes, this is a tip you should try! Psst. Xlash will soon launch their own eye masks, which effectively hydrate the skin. Stay tuned!
2. Feel Less "Bare" with Lash and Brow Serum
Defined brows and long lashes are two factors that make many feel more confident in a minimal makeup look. If you don't have these naturally, there are tricks to achieve them! For brows, you can use Xbrow Eyebrow Serum, and for lashes, apply Xlash Eyelash Serum. These effective products, with the help of vitamins, minerals, and proteins, lengthen lash and brow hairs, increase thickness, and make them fuller. However, they are not "quick fix" products, so don't expect noticeable results by Midsummer. How quickly you notice improvement is very individual, but it's recommended to apply the serums once every evening for at least 30 days. After that, most people see a significant difference. If you start using them now, we can almost promise that your brows and lashes will be fuller, more defined, and longer for the parties in July and August. So you can easily rock the Midsummer look!
3. Perfect Your Brows with Xbrow Eyebrow Pencil
As a complement to Xbrow Eyebrow Serum, you can use Xbrow Eyebrow Pencil. It has a micro-thin brush that allows you to easily create natural dream brows. With a soft and creamy consistency with lots of pigment, it's easy to create a shape that frames your face. Your brows become more defined, and with the help of the brush, you can also make them fuller. A pair of defined eyebrows enhances the entire Midsummer look, as well as the summer dress and flower crown in an excellent way!
Xbrow Eyebrow Pencil is available in three different shades with both warm and cool tones. The shade Beige Brown has a light brown color with a beige and warm undertone, suitable for those with light brows. Dark Brown suits those with brown or dark brown brows and has a warm undertone. Greyish Grey has a dark ashy shade with a cool undertone and suits those with brown or dark brown brows.
How to Apply Xbrow Eyebrow Pencil:
- Start by brushing through your brows with the brush.
- Adjust the pencil and fill in the brows for the desired shape and fullness.
- For fuller brows, draw along the outer edge of the brows.
- Finish by styling the brow with the brush to set the hairs in place.
4. Let Your Lashes Take Center Stage for the Ultimate Midsummer Look
To create a successful less is more look, you don't need much more than lashes with plenty of volume. For this, you only need three products to frame your eyes and let your lashes take center stage on Midsummer.
Start by applying Xlash Eyeliner as close to the lash line as possible. With the pen's felt applicator, it's easy to create a sharp, but not too thick line. The goal here is not to make an eyeliner that stands out too much, but to try to make the line as thin as possible. This makes your lashes appear fuller and denser, giving a more intense look.
Once the eyeliner has dried, the next step is to curl your lashes with Xlash Eyelash Curler, which smoothly gives you captivating and longer lashes in just a few seconds. Place the eyelashes between the curling bars, as close to the lash line but avoid the roots. Gently squeeze the curler and hold it closed for a few seconds. Open and repeat until the desired effect is achieved.
Finish with Xlash Mascara, which has jet-black pigments and brings out the best in your lashes. It lengthens and provides plenty of volume while separating the lashes. Apply using the zig-zag method: Instead of just brushing through the lashes from bottom to top with the mascara, try wiggling the mascara brush along the lash line from left to right. Then continue outward in a zig-zag motion all the way to the tips of your lashes. This method covers each lash with mascara and is also a great way to get lots of volume.
5. Complete the Natural Midsummer Look with Full Lips
A lovely Midsummer look doesn't require much effort or many products. A pair of neutral, but full lips is the ultimate final touch in this fresh and natural look.
Start by moisturizing your lips with Xlips EGF, a lip balm that deeply nourishes with ingredients like shea butter and vitamin E. For even fuller lips, then apply Xlips Lip Plump Serum, which provides both a lovely shine and a plumping effect.
