Ciara Is Lowkey The Queen Of The Makeup-Free Photo. Here's How She Gets Her Glow.
Okay, okay, so technically there's no right or wrong way to do a makeup-free look, but for someone who has access to the best of the best in glamour, Ciara's got the no-makeup thing down and she’s got the IG posts to prove it.
Now, don't get her wrong. Ciara’s a fan of concealers, lipsticks, and highlighters, but she'll occasionally take a few days off to go barefaced, which, in the end, allows her go-to skincare products to work even more of their magic without the added layer of makeup over top.
What are these products, you might ask? Don’t worry, it’s not the gold-infused concoctions you might expect of a major celeb with a near flawless complexion. Actually, according to Allure, Ciara’s a fan of drugstore heroes. “It may sound crazy, but Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion is really good. I use it on myself and my baby,” she told the mag. Since she washes her face twice a day (admittedly, with a custom-made cleanser courtesy of her derm), she’s come to trust the super-gentle and hydrating cream to counteract the drying affect frequent washing can sometimes have.
Ciara’s collection of beauty products also includes Vitamin C serums, per Essence, exfoliants because she says she’s “kind of obsessed with seeing blackheads clear out,” according to W, and hydrating sunscreen to protect her skin from damaging UV rays.
The singer’s fairly simple skincare routine proves you can do a lot with a little as long as you’re consistent and all the evidence is in the makeup-free photos peppering her Instagram account. If you weren’t moisturizing, cleansing, and applying sunscreen to your face on the daily before, trust, you be will once you see these.
