The 'No Makeup' Makeup Look!

By Allison, Supplies Coordinator & Green Beauty Enthusiast

Makeup can be overwhelming, especially if you’re just starting out or trying to achieve a certain aesthetic. Today, I am going to spotlight the ‘No Makeup’ Makeup Look with a step-by-step guide.

Here is how I achieved effortless radiance: (Disclaimer: I am an enthusiast, not an expert!)

• Apply tinted moisturizer to clean skin. 

  • I mixed the Josh Rosebrook Nutrient Day Cream Tinted SPF with the Mad Hippie Luminizing Facial SPF because the Josh Rosebrook was a little too dark for my complexion. I applied this to my entire face using brush, but your fingers will do the trick, too.

  • There is a ‘No Makeup’ Makeup Look for every budget and desired coverage! Andalou Brightening Facial Tinted SPF, Mad Hippie Tinted Serum SPF (Medium/Dark), and Mad Hippie Tinted Serum SPF (Light/Medium are all great options. 

  • Tip: for more coverage without applying a foundation, consider using a concealer underneath the eyes or on top of blemishes.

• Fill brows with brow pencil.

  • While I let the moisturizer absorb into my skin, I filled my brows using gentle sparse strokes of the Jane Iredale Pure Brow Precision Pencil in Medium Brown.

• Give brows hold by combing through with a brow gel.

  • I topped my brows with the Ere Perez Aloe Gel Clear Lash & Brow Mascara, so they hold their shape throughout the day.

• Now for the eyes, apply tinted sunscreen to the lid and set with a setting powder.

  • I applied the Josh Rosebrook Nutrient Day Cream Tinted SPF as a base to my lids and followed up with setting powder (before applying eyeshadow).

  • This will help the eyeshadow stay without creasing.

  • Again, for more coverage opt for a concealer on the lids instead of tinted moisturizer. 

• Apply eyeshadow.

  • I used the Jane Iredale PurePressed Eyeshadow in Pink Quartz. I applied the lightest shade to the whole eye using a fluffy eyeshadow brush to brighten the eye. Then, I applied the medium shade to the outer corner of the crease to give the eye some shape and definition - make sure to blend it so that you aren’t left with harsh edges.

• Apply mascara to finish off the eyes. 

  • I used the Ere Perez Natural Almond Mascara in Black.

  • For those who prefer waterproof mascara, we have the Ere Perez Avocado Waterproof Mascara. 

• Use a multi stick to apply blush.

  • I used the Axiology Multi Stick Tinted Dew in Humble to give my cheeks a bright yet natural rosiness. I applied it to the apples of my cheeks, but lots of people have a preferred blush location for their personal face shape - so apply it wherever you like!

  • Cream blush will give a natural radiance to the skin that is desired in the ‘No Makeup’ Makeup Look - powder blushes will create a more matte finish.

• Finally! Lips - apply the same multi stick used for blush to your lips

  • I applied a thick coat of the Axiology Multi Stick Tinted Dew in Humble to my lips

  • For a bolder look, apply a lip liner on your whole lip before applying the multi stick.

Now let’s up the glam just a little bit! (optional)

• Apply highlighter.

  • I used the Axiology Vegan Multi Use Balmie in Frosting on my upper cheekbones to create a gentle glow.

  • Axiology Vegan Multi Use Balmie in Champagne and Axiology Vegan Multi Use Balmie in Chestnut are great highlighter shades for deeper skin tones as well.

• Apply gloss.

  • I used the Ere Perez Mango Lip Honey in Pop, but feel free to pick any gloss that goes with your multi stick.

The final elevated look!
