Every season, trends change. However, there are a few unique makeup trends that defeated time and managed to gain their name of classic elements. Take a look to five timeless makeup trends.
Porcelain skin
The secret of a perfect, natural skin stands in the way you apply the foundation. If you use a liquid texture, apply it with your fingers making sure to make it uniform. On the other hand, if you are more into solid textures, latex sponges are a must. Therefore, for an impeccable look, the makeup base should be very carefully chosen. After applying the foundation, wait a few minutes, and only afterwards use a translucent powder removing the excess with a tissue. As a final step, apply a blush in a color close to your natural skin complexion.
Whenever choosing a foundation, you need to take into consideration its color and, of course, your skin type. Before buying it, test it on the back of your hand, and check the color in natural light. If you have oily skin, a foundation with a matte, powdered texture works great as it absorbs the excess of sebum. A dry skin needs moisturizing, therefore a creamy foundation is the right choice. Regardless the foundation you choose, remember that if you apply too much, you’ll look rather like a mask and not like a porcelain doll.
Red lips
Whether you apply the red lipstick using a brush or by dabbing with the finger, the color should be strong. Moreover, if you want to get a flawless look and you bet everything on your red lips, keep the rest of your makeup natural and simple. Red lipstick is like the LBD, a timeless piece that will never go out of style despite all trends. If you have never used red due to its intensity, remember that red lips can help you stand out, and add an elegant and glamorous feel to your look especially if you are getting ready for special events.

Always keep in mind that red lipstick comes in different shades, which makes it impossible for you not to find the perfect one to flatter you. If you have darker skin, red lipstick with orange or brown undertones works well. For lighter skin, colder, intense shades of red are a smart choice.
