Essentials for No-Makeup-Makeup

We’re firm believers that mastering the “no makeup” makeup look is an absolute must! Having a streamlined set of products and tools ready for when you need them is a great way to prepare for those times when you’re not doing the ‘full face’ look. Maybe you like a light layer of coverage - but don’t have the energy for a complete, thought-out look. Or maybe your skin is looking flawless and you’re just looking to amplify your favorite features. No makeup makeup is also a favorite for weekend errands - when minimal makeup is all you can (or want to) manage.

So get ready, because we’re about to lay down some of the best products for your “no makeup” makeup game! They’re excellent for anyone who’s looking to minimize their makeup routine, don’t want to wear a full face 24/7, and everyone in between! Anyone can rock the “no makeup” makeup look - and the best way to accomplish it is by having the right tools at the ready.

When it comes to eye makeup, you’ll want to use a minimal number of products to enhance your eye area - now’s not the time to bold. We recommend combining a light sweep of mascara (to lengthen and volumize your lashes), with a dab of concealer on your under eyes to brighten your eye area.

Maracuja Mascara

• Boosts lash length and volume, and enhances lash color
• Conditions lashes with lightweight maracuja oil
• Anti-clumping and anti-flaking formula for a totally natural look
• Naturally pigmented with tea, cocoa, and coffee

These products are made to enhance your natural beauty - not cover it up. While these certainly aren’t the end-all-be-all products you’ll need to use, they’ll be more than enough to set you off in the right direction.

• Supple matte finish mimics the natural texture of your lips

Fruit Pigmented® Lip & Cheek Tint

• Doubles as a sheer lip color and natural-looking cheek color

• Blends easily into bare skin or foundation, for a natural flush of color

Once you’ve enlisted your team of products, you’ll want to get your hands on some effective tools to apply and blend your makeup. We love our Cruelty Free Small Stippling Brush for blending foundation products evenly over the skin (even around creases) resulting in a natural, seamless look. We also love our Non Latex Makeup Blender for blending in cream and liquid formulas; it’s double-sided, with a wide end to blend across large areas, and a pointed end to blend into creases and nooks. Use it damp for an even more seamless, dewy finish.

To get the most of your “no makeup” makeup, you could finish up your routine with a setting powder or spray. This will help to lock down your makeup for the day, preventing any smudging or smearing. To further minimize your makeup routine, brush a natural, conditioning oil (such as argan oil) over your lashes instead of using mascara.
