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.

No makeup foundation No Makeup Makeup: Foundations & Powders

If you’re going for a natural makeup look, you’ll probably want a product with adjustable coverage. If you’re looking for heavier coverage, you could go with a water-based foundation that blends into the skin smoothly and evenly. If you’re looking for a product that evens out your complexion and conceals minor imperfections, you could go with a BB Cream or CC cream. If you’re looking for very sheer coverage to perfect your complexion, a light powder or tinted moisturizer might be the right option for you.

No Makeup Makeup: Mascara

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.

Blender Stippling Tips, Tricks, & Tools

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.
