4 Steps to Get Flawless, #NoFilter Skin

Have you ever seen a selfie of a celeb rocking amazingly glowy skin with next to no make-up? Have you ever wondered how her skin looks so damn fine?

Well, you don’t need to be a megastar to show off perfectly luminous skin in your next #NoMakeup #NoFilter (for real) Instagram selfie. All you need are these skin care tricks up your sleeve…

STEP 1: CALM YO’ SELF

After cleansing your skin, smooth on a soothing moisturiser to eliminate redness on the cheeks and around the nose. Choose one with ingredients such as calendula and aloe to calm and nurture your skin.

bh product picks: Puretopia Sensitive Care Soothing & Comforting Protective Moisturiser, The Body Shop Aloe Soothing Day Cream

STEP 2: BLUR BABY, BLUR

Yes, there is a cream out there that actually blurs imperfections, right down to your fine lines and pesky pores. It will not only leave your skin looking clear and even-toned, but its matte finish means you won’t have to worry about unwanted shine.

bh product picks: L’Oréal Paris Skin Perfection Blur, Garnier Perfect Blur Smoothing Base Perfector

STEP 3: HI, BRIGHT EYES

Wave bye-bye to dark circles and puffy eyes with a hydrating and brightening eye cream. Using your ring finger, pat the cream on your eyelid and underneath your eyes, gently blending it outwards for naturally fresh-looking peepers.

bh product picks: Benefit b.right It’s Potent Eye Cream, Elucent Whitening Eye Cream

STEP 4: PREP YOUR PUCKER

Ditch dry, tight lips for a plumped and moisturised pout with a lip treatment. Find one that contains lip-loving oils like jojoba or sweet almond, and slather it on whenever you feel the need for luscious lips (so, all the time).

bh product picks: Iluka Luxe Lip Treatment ($29.99, www.ilukaskincare.com), Aveda Nourish-Mint Renewing Lip Treatment

I suspect that these celebrities have flawless skin from their genetics, but they maintain it with good skin care.

Hmm need some potent products for my eyes as I've noticed they are turning darker due to stress so I will look into Benefit product suggested. Also, need to take care of some acne marks but I'm going the professional peel route for that.

Yeah, I'm not going to ever be a #nofilter selfie gal@

Great ideas and i am on the right side for once as I do love my Blur cream. I even use it without make-up I use Perfect Blur and I have used L'oreals as well. And i do love Avedas mint lip cream. But i ran out and couldnt get there. And i found a peppermint hydrating lip blam at the chemist and its very hydrating.

id love my skin to look so gorgeous!

I've started to prep and double cleanse my skin better a couple of months ago and I'm slowly achieving the flawless look if i'm not too lazy.

Love reading the prepping tips of some of the celebs... My tips for flawless skin would definitely include cleansing and moisturising, concealer for dark circles and minor flaws, and I now use a blur cream which caps it off. I have also used on occasion a light dusting of mattifying powder which helps on hot summer days or nights.

They all have beautiful skin in those photos. Of course, lighting and angles can also affect how different skin tones look. Some lighting is more or less flattering on skin. Strong lighting and bright sunlight are usually less flattering... Anyway, Bella Thorne has such nice hair, but she looks a lot older than her age. She's cute, but im just surprised that she's younger than the likes of Miranda Kerr and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley!

I love the garnier blur cream thingy...yep love it but don't know its name lol. I notice it does blu my large pores. I got it for free so big score

Jlgaddes 22 Jan 2015 10:56 PM

they look amazing!! great tips too

Arty Girl 22 Jan 2015 2:10 PM

I have the Garnier Blur but I love the Cancer Council 3 in 1 BB Cream which really helps to cover my flaws. I can't seem to find it in Priceline. Would love to buy another tube of it !!!

freaky 22 Jan 2015 12:15 PM

I wonder if these celebs really have no make up on. They still look gorgeous though. Im not a selfie person either

Elunia 22 Jan 2015 5:05 AM

Great tips, but I do not make selfies of my face therefore this is not something I need to worry too much about
