A BLOG TUTORIAL: THE NO-MAKEUP MAKEUP LOOK.

hey guys! I'm sorry I haven't posted in forever :( Anyways, I'm making up for it right now, by giving you a quick tutorial on how to achieve the perfect no makeup makeup look. It is super quick and really easy to achieve.


1. SKIN
Since you are going for a really natural look, you don't need any heavy coverage. Applying a foundation base or a serum like the Lumene Instant Rejuvenating Serum will keep your skin radiant and moisturized. Then, with a tiny bit of liquid foundation, dab and blend at problem spots like under the eyes. Trust me, less is more. For my entire face, I used less than half of a pea sized amount.
















2. FACE
If you want a very natural face, avoid blush. I applied a bit of Nars Laguna Bronzer to contour my cheeks and nose. This will give your face subtle definition. Again, less is more.
















3. EYES
For really effortless eyes, you can simply apply a coat of mascara. But, if you do want to put a little more effort into this no make-up makeup look, you can opt for some shadow. I swept a nice champagne shade like the L'oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Iced Latte all over the lid and really blended it into a sheer wash. Then, taking a matte light brown like Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Naked, define your crease. Finally taking a matte skin tone shade like Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Foxy, highlight your brow bone. I would skip the eyeliner for this is a very natural look.

4. LIPS
For lips, you want to keep it very simple. I simply applied my Smith's Minted Rose Lip Balm, and I was ready to go.
















5. FINISH
This step is optional, but for a nice dewy finish, I sprayed a finishing spray. I used La Roche Posay Thermal Water Spray, but another option is Mac Fix+.

















There you go! This look is super easy and super quick, but still looks polished. Hope you enjoyed!

P.S. I have been OBSESSED with this song lately: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgSE3lAdYIE&feature=related
