There are days when you wake up and you’re late to work or you just don’t feel like putting on a whole lot of makeup. I have those days often, especially in the summer. That’s when this no-makeup makeup look comes in handy! This look just enhances your natural features and makes you look more put together. Now, I know it looks like a lot of products for a “no-makeup” look, but the point isn’t to cake on your makeup with all of them. The point is to enhance your natural beauty! I know it can be hard to go out in public without makeup on, but using these steps, you’ll make yourself look bright, awake, and beautiful with little effort! Here’s my before and after pictures! The products I used or recommend to use to create this look and how to use them, are listed below.
Before
After
#1 Cleanse your face/exfoliate/moisturize
This is so important for prepping the skin for makeup products. It will hydrate the skin and give us the natural, dewy complexion we wanting to achieve.
#2 Conceal
The key to this look is the natural finish, so you want to use a concealer that will cover blemishes or redness lightly, but also let your freckles and natural complexion shine through. This is not going to be everyone’s cup of tea and that’s okay! Do what works for you. You will want to apply this on any breakouts, redness areas, under the eyes, and on the eyelids to conceal darkness.
#3 Brows
If I’m not careful, this is the step that will take me the longest. I have found that when I am in a pinch and don’t want to spend 10 minutes on my brows, I will use a brow tint. It is fast, has great coverage, and also helps my brows stay in place all day.
#4 Bronzer
Bronzing the skin lightly when you are trying to achieve the no-makeup look will make you look alive and awake. In the summertime, this is just a good step to take. The sun is out, you are outside more, and I think it makes everyone look and feel pretty! Who doesn’t want that!

#5 Blush
This is weird, but blush is one of my favorite makeup products. It just makes your face come alive and it can take your makeup from meh to glam in 2.5 seconds. Don’t skip this!

#6 Highlighter
Highlighters are another product you don’t want to skimp on when you are going for a natural look. It will make you look like you spent time on your makeup! And it’s just so gorgeous when the light hits you in the right spot on your face and you look like a glowing goddess.
#7 Mascara
Applying several coats of mascara will make your eyes pop and make you look awake. I skip out on eyeliner because it takes more time and I like the look of mascara only.
