Make-up doesn't necessarily serve to transform the face. Used in small quantities, it can simply reduce redness, uniformize the skin or temporarily mask an imperfection.
The principle of invisible makeup is simple: correct only what attracts attention.
Prepare the skin
Start with clean and hydrated skin.
A makeup applied to very dry skin further marks texture areas.
Wait a few minutes after hydrating and sun protection before applying anything else.
Localized corrector
Instead of covering the entire face, apply a small amount of corrector:
- on a red button;
- the inner corner of the eyes;
- on a spot mark.
Tape with finger or small sponge. Don't rub.
Choose the right shade
The product must melt with the neck and the rest of the face.
Too clear a corrector before the eyes can create artificial contrast. For a discreet correction, stay close to the natural color of your skin.
Reduce shine
If the T zone shines a lot, a very small amount of translucent powder may suffice.
Not necessarily apply to the whole face: only where necessary.
Eyebrow
A transparent gel is often sufficient. If some areas are sparse, use a fine pencil and draw some hairlike features.
Eyes
A very light eyelash curve or mascara can strengthen the look without producing an obvious makeup effect.
Brown is sometimes more discreet than black, especially on light skin and hair.
Lips
A transparent balm often gives a better result than a very bright product. The main objective is to avoid dry lips.
The mirror rule at one metre
After application, step back from the mirror.
If a product is clearly visible at a normal distance, fade further.
People do not look at your face five centimetres away: the result must be assessed under real conditions.

A useful question
How do I avoid visible concealer?
Choose a shade close to your skin and apply a small amount locally. Check the result in natural light.
