For those who are less adventurous with their makeup, are younger, or just don't have the means to buy loads of makeup, don't realize that the "natural" look can be taken one step further- a "no makeup" makeup look. This simple, 5-minute face will give you a flawless natural complexion and added confidence you never knew you had.

Steps

  1. 1

    Keep your skin healthy! Though this may not seem like a valid step, it truly is. Keep healthy, clean, and moisturized skin for an even better result with this look.

  2. How to Create a No Makeup Makeup Look: 9 Steps (with Pictures) (2)

    2

    Choose a lightweight base. Either a lightweight foundation, or a tinted moisturizer or BB cream to even your skin tone and help you on your way to a naturally perfect makeup look.[1]

  3. How to Create a No Makeup Makeup Look: 9 Steps (with Pictures) (3)

    3

    Wear concealer! To hide any blemishes, or to hide any awful under eye circles, use a concealer that is your shade. This will help even out your skin tone even more.[2]

  4. 4

    Set your makeup with a powder. If you want your makeup to last and your face to stay matte all day- go for a powder. A simple pressed powder or a loose translucent powder will do the trick. Apply with a large fluffy brush.

  5. How to Create a No Makeup Makeup Look: 9 Steps (with Pictures) (5)

    5

    Apply a simple, natural blush. Choose a bush shade that is very natural, and apply it to the places you would naturally blush. Use a fluffy brush for this step.

  6. 6

    Shape your eyebrows! To get a nice eyebrow look without filling them in, just simply shape them. With an eyebrow comb, comb through your eyebrows until they are somewhat tamed.

  7. 7

    Help your eyelashes by curling them and applying a thin coat of a natural mascara. Curl your lashes to start (there are many tutorials on how to do this), Then, apply a thin coat of mascara.[3] Re-curl your lashes for a natural but "out-there" eyelash look.

  8. 8

    Finish everything off with a tinted lip balm.[4] Not only do tinted lip balms help moisturize the lips, it gives you a great pop of color to really brighten up your face.

  9. 9

    And voila! You are ready to walk out the door!

    You should use a tinted moisturizer, a BB cream, or a CC cream for your complexion. If you want to correct any blemishes or dark circles, also apply a concealer

    Add a little bit of bronzer for your cheekbones, upper forehead, and eyelids. Finish with some lip balm for your lips and voila!

    Her look's staples are her orange/brown lip, peachy cheeks, and soft eyes. To achieve this, try to find a lip similar to hers that is good for your skin tone. Also, find a nice peachy blush. I suggest the Nars org*sm. For the eyes I would tightline (put eyeliner on your waterlines both top and bottom) and soft brown on your eyelid and underneath your eye.
