Ballet Core: An Elevated No Makeup Look

Along with the No Makeup Look trend, ballet core is taking over the internet by storm. In terms of makeup, think of ballet core beauty as an elevated no makeup look that embraces a softer, romantic, and more feminine vibe. If you’re thinking ballerina buns, blush tones, silky smooth skin, and graceful esthetics, then you’re spot on. 

With this in mind, I had Jahnelle, Bellacara's own esthetician and beauty advisor who exudes beauty from the inside out, be my muse and model for this particular look. I wanted to enhance her natural beauty with some of my favorite products. Here’s how you can try it at home: 

COOLA Dew Good Illuminating Serum Sunscreen with Probiotic Technology SPF 30 As always, SPF comes first. This lightweight silky serum adds a layer of luminosity and radiance so your skin looks hydrated, dewy, and healthy. As an added bonus, it has SPF 30 and Blue Light protection and you'll feel good knowing that it is clean and has 70+ certified organic ingredients. 

Westman Atelier Vital Skincare Complexion Drops This is my "go-to" base for ballet core beauty! It’s super lightweight and effortless skincare-infused foundation that evens skin tone, smooths, soothes, and hydrates for a barely there no makeup look. 

SURRATT BEAUTY Artistique Liquid Blush This new liquid blush collection from Surratt adds color, dimension, and vibrance! I love that it's buildable and pigmented without looking heavy or cakey. I used Parfait on Jahnelle to complement her rosy cheeks for a fresh youthful glow.

SURRATT BEAUTY Torche Lumiere Made with genuine diamond and gold dust, this collection of highlighters gives a multi-faceted glistening effect without a frosty finish. Velvety, creamy, and pigmented, these highlighters can also be blended together. I mixed Diamante and Rose Diamante on Jahnelle for that multi-faceted glimmering effect and glam glow!

ROÉN 11:11 Eyeshadow Palette This ROEN palette of rose, sparkling pink, and smokey taupe shades is a luxurious, creamy formula that illuminates the eyes with a striking glassy effect that is fool-proof, even if you have the fear of eyeshadow.

Kevyn Aucoin Glass Glow Lip 'Prism Rose' Formulated with Vitamin E & antioxidants, Kevyn Aucoin's Glass Glow Lip in shade Prism Rose screams Ballet with a three-dimensional pink reflective glaze.

Et Voila! Even though this look is on trend, we love it. Something about evoking ballet feels timeless and classic. So, go ahead and give it try! If you get stuck, swing by, we’d love to help!
