Great makeup doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. The most popular no-makeup look is about creating a dewy and pretty look. This means coverage where needed and enhancing natural features.
No-Makeup Makeup Look
To create a natural no-makeup look:
✅ Cleanse, tone, & moisturise
✅ Primer if needed
✅ A little foundation or CC cream as a base
✅ Concealer where needed
✅ Natural eye makeup with a little definition through the crease
✅ Define the brows
✅ A little mascara
✅ Nude lipstick or a little gloss
Remember with this kind of look, use less! And if you are not sure, please ask me!
Product Recommendations for a No-Makeup Look
Elemis Superfood Glow Priming Moisturiser
On good skin days, this is enough with a little concealer under the eyes.
This is the perfect recipe for a dewy glow, this silicone-free moisturiser that primes, hydrates to reveal a smooth, and radiant complexion. It is formulated with an energising blend of Kombucha and Fermented Ginger to help brighten and illuminating microminerals to impart a subtle radiance. Fermented Green Tea Seed Oil leaves skin feeling nourished whilst an active Prebiotic helps to protect the delicate microbiome of the skin. This multitasking formula can be used as a daily moisturiser, a hydrating makeup primer or to enhance skin’s natural luminosity.
IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream with SPF 50+
On the days where more coverage is required, this CC cream from IT Cosmetics is perfect but please remember that a little goes a long way. A whole pump is too much!
Developed with plastic surgeons, CC+ Cream with SPF 50+ is their #1 best-selling,* award-winning colour-correcting cream that works beautifully as a foundation, hydrating anti-ageing serum, and SPF 50+ physical sunscreen. It is a multitasking beauty product that provides clinically tested hydration while diffusing the look of skin imperfections for flawless-looking coverage that won’t crease or crack.
Infused with hydrolyzed collagen, peptides, niacin, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and vitamins, this skin-loving full-coverage foundation reduces the appearance of acne scarring, wrinkles, redness on the skin, dark circles under the eyes, and large pores—all while giving you a luminous, supple, flawless-looking complexion. It’s truly your one-step for instant complexion perfection!
There are now three versions of the CC cream – the original (not matte or too dewy), the illuminating version, and the oil-free matte version. I still prefer the original but all three look stunning on the skin.
YSL Touche Éclat
YSL’s Touche Éclat pens have a special place inside so many makeup artists’ and editors’ makeup bags. The light-infused pigments in Touche Éclat blend seamlessly for a healthy, natural glow. It never looks cakey or overdone.
Bobbi Brown Eye Shadow in Taupe
A silky, powder eye shadow that glides on smoothly and blends easily. It’s available in a range of shades for lids, lining eyes, and defining brows and the colour taupe is perfect to add a soft definition to the crease.
Nudies Matte Blush & Bronze in Sunkissed
A long-wearing, soft, matte, monochromatic nude color for the eyes, cheeks, and lips. Sunkissed is the perfect shade; a coral bronze giving the perfect balance of warmth and glow. I use Sunkissed on most days.
Benefit BADgal BANG! Volumizing Mascara
This mascara delivers huge volume, for a natural look, I only use a very light layer to define the lashes. By far this is my favourite desert-island mascara. An alternative to this is Glossier’s Lash Slick. It’s another tubing formula that delivers extension-like length plus subtle curl and lifts without adding weight to the lashes.
Benefit Gimme Brow+
Gimme Brow+ tinted eyebrow gel contains tiny microfibers that adhere to skin & hairs, creating natural-looking fullness.
Dior Lip Glow 001 Delicate Pink
The Dior Addict Lip Glow lip balm is still infused at its core with colour reviver technology that adapts to the pH of the skin of each person’s lips to reveal the perfect shade of pink. Formulated with 97% natural-origin ingredients to hydrate the lips for up to 24 hours.
Can be worn alone as a tinted lip balm or as a primer for a subtle nude lipstick.
