Achieve the “No Makeup” Makeup Look

If you’re going to an event and you’re wearing something quite ornate or very colorful, the “no makeup” makeup will help you look more modern in a way. It’s good for a lot of occasions, even for a daytime look.

Tarte BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen

First off, protect your skin. You can use a sun block if this look is for a casual daytime look or a really good primer if you’re wearing this for the evening.

NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation

Use a lightweight foundation. You want it to give you a little pigmentation. You can also use a tinted moisturizer for this.

Givenchy Mister Light Instant Light Corrective Pen

You don’t want to use a heavy coverage concealer. Try a correcting pen instead. It will give a little bit of coverage and will lighten up those darken areas on your face. Since the coverage is so thin, it won’t sit on your face and look like makeup. We recommend you trying out the

Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer

If you’re tan, your “no makeup” makeup look should be bronzier. Go for a darker shade of red or brown when it comes to your blush.

Giorgio Armani Cheek Fabric Sheer Blush 305

If you’re light, work with light colors. The thing about the “no makeup” makeup look is to consider your natural skin tone. For example, there’s no need for wearing nude lips when you have a pinkish lip color. You want to work the tones in your skin.

Tarte Colored Clay Bronzer Blush in Park Avenue princess

If you’re pale but have warm undertones, choose a more peachy-pink color for your blush. Apply your blush to where you would normally flush, for example, after working out; you’re all red and blushing.

Guerlain Météorites Perles De Blush

You can also use the same color of blush on your lips. If your lips are super pale, enhance it a bit by applying a colored lip cream that’s a bit close to your natural lip color.

Yves Saint Laurent ROUGE VOLUPTÉ – Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick SPF 15 in peach passion

Combination skin? Use a brightening powder. Don’t overdo it because you still want that “no makeup” makeup look. Focus on the zones where you really need it.

Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder

For your eyes, curl your eyelashes. Add a lash serum if you want a bit of shine on them or use a lengthening mascara.

Dior Diorshow Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum

Use a brow powder if you have sparse eyebrows. For this look, you don’t want your brows to look so defined. So just fill in the sparse areas, and if you have droopy or hooded eyelids, apply lightly your brow powder crease. A matte shadow is just like a natural eye shadow.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Duo

Use something a bit more grayish eyeliner when you’re light-toned and black eyeliner when you have dark-toned skin. Stay close to your lash line as possible. It gives your eyes a little bit of definition.

Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner

A fraction of bronzer on your cheek bones, jaw line, forehead and neck (if your neck is paler than your face) would be helpful.

Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Bronzer

The “no makeup” makeup look will be achieved and will be believable when you see no lines across the brows, no visible line on lips, bronzer, crease, etc. You want everything on the lowdown and subtle. You just want to emphasize the color of your skin, that’s all.
