We can’t help but wonder how to achieve her perfect minimalist look so we went on Tiktok to watch her GRWM videos. Here are some tips and tricks that we took note of as well as a list of products that she often uses. And don’t worry, this queen mixes both high end and drugstore makeup! Which is just another reason to love and appreciate her.
Less is more
For Sofia Richie, it seems like less is more when it comes to makeup. More often than not, she doesn’t layer on a ton of product — she just dabs a bit of product here and there.
Even when it comes to eyeshadow, she usually just blends a bit of product on her crease and under her eyes. And that’s about it!

Sofia uses the Dior Backstage Glow Face Palette for her crease and under eyes. Since this palette may be a bit too pricey for some of us, we found an incredible dupe that can give the same subtle but pretty shimmer on your eyelids.

When it comes to contour, Sofia opts to just dab a bit of product under her cheekbones, on her jawline, down the side of her nose and near her hairline. She doesn’t really go heavy on contour.
She also opts to use a cream stick and blends it out with a sponge. The result is a soft and natural contour that doesn’t look harsh at all.

Sofia also doesn’t go crazy with bronzer. She uses just a bit of product with a light hand. She also opts for a drugstore bronzer that is actually a favorite by many makeup enthusiasts.

Sofia Richie says that she is so bad with mascara. She usually gets raccoon eyes at the end of the day whenever she wears mascara.
So she opts for a clear Nourishing Mascara from Lamylift especially on her honeymoon where she’s out on the beach under the sun. Who needs falsies when you have healthy and strong lashes, right?

Bare skin beauty
Sofia Richie does wear foundation sometimes but more often than not — especially when she’s just out under the sun enjoying her honeymoon in a tropical destination — she opts to go bare skin. In her own words, she just doesn’t want all that “cake-iness”.

This means that to achieve Sofia’s bare skin beauty, we need a really great skincare routine that will give us soft, flawless and glowing skin. Tap here for a simple but effective skincare routine that is also very beginner friendly.
Of course, even Sofia Richie needs to cover up a bit of blemishes and under eye circles. But as seen on her GRWM vidoes, she does so with very little concealer which she just dabs a bit of and blends out with a Beautyblender.

Cream products
Sofia Richie loves using cream products as seen on her GRWM videos. Cream products just give that natural and dewy finish that we need for that effortlessly glowing and minimal makeup look.
Even for highlighter, Sofia chooses to use a cream stick product which she just dabs a bit of on her cheekbones, nose and brow area.

Brush up those eyebrows
If there’s one thing that Sofia Richie never forgets to do when doing her makeup, it’s brushing up her eyebrows. She definitely hates it when her eyebrows droop down.
We get it. Having well groomed and brushed up eyebrows just makes you look more put together and it allows your eyebrows to frame your face nicely.

Multi-tasking products
Minimal makeup not only means using just a bit of product on your face, but it also means using fewer types of products. You can do this by using a single multi-tasking product for different parts of your face.
Sofia loves doing this with her cream blush stick. In one of her GRWM videos, she uses a single shade of her Nudestix Nudies Matte All Over Face Blush Color on her cheeks, lips and eyelids.

Juicy lips
To finish off a natural, glowing look, opt for juicy and glossy lips instead of a matte finish. This gives you a fresh, yummy look instead of a stiff, fully made up look.
Sofia Richie has the perfect combo for juicy and pouty lips — lip liner and lip gloss or lip balm!
