how to create a 5-minute monochromatic makeup look for lips and cheeks

A monochromatic makeup look keeps your lips, cheeks and eyes in the same colour family, creating a finish that feels effortless, modern and naturally pulled together. 

why the monochromatic makeup look works

Monochromatic makeup uses shades from the same tonal family across the face, usually on the lips, cheeks and eyes. The result is soft, cohesive and balanced - an easy way to look polished with fewer products.

In this Watercolour Flush look, cream textures are key. They melt into skin, creating a diffused finish that feels fresh, breathable and easy to wear throughout the day. 

The result is a look that feels polished but relaxed.

Soft diffused colour that melts seamlessly into skin. 

The Watercolour Flush is our skin-first take on the monochromatic makeup look. Think fresh blush, blurred lips and a gentle wash of colour that brings the face to life without feeling heavy or overdone. 

Cream textures make this look easy. They melt into skin, blur softly at the edges and build from a sheer tint to a richer wash of colour. The result is makeup that feels fresh, relaxed and easy to wear every day. 

how to create the watercolour flush look

Step 1: Build a fresh, skin-like base 

Start with Oat Milk Foundation (Rachel wears Latte) to create an even, radiant base. 

The lightweight texture blends seamlessly into skin, evening tone while maintaining a natural, hydrated finish.

Step 2: Create the watercolour flush 

Tap Carrot Colour Pot in Hello onto cheeks, eyelids and lips using fingertips or a brush. 

The creamy, buildable texture creates a soft wash of colour that brings the face together without heaviness or harsh edges. Keep it sheer for a barely-there tint, or layer for more warmth and depth. 

Infused with carrot oil, avocado oil and vitamin E, Carrot Colour Pot brings colour and care together in one easy, pocket-friendly pot. 

Step 3: Add soft definition to lashes 

Apply Avocado Waterproof Mascara in Brown for natural-looking definition. 

The brown pigment enhances the eyes gently, keeping the overall finish soft and in harmony with the rest of the face. 

Step 4: Shape brows with natural structure 

Use Almond Brow Pencil (Rachel wears Pristine) to lightly define and feather brows. This adds subtle structure while keeping the look fresh, minimal and naturally framed.
