The goal of a natural makeup look is to enhance your features, not to mask them. It's about looking like the best version of yourself. This "no-makeup makeup" look is perfect for everyday wear, from the office to a casual weekend brunch.

The 6-Step Natural Look Tutorial

Step 1: Skin Prep is Non-Negotiable

Great makeup starts with great skin. Before you apply any products, make sure your face is clean and moisturized. This creates a smooth canvas for your makeup to glide on and last all day. Don't forget sunscreen!

Step 2: Create an Even Base

The goal here is to even out your skin tone, not to cover it completely. Use a lightweight foundation or a tinted moisturizer. Apply a small amount to the center of your face and blend outwards with your fingers, a brush, or a damp sponge. Add a dot of concealer under the eyes and on any blemishes.

Step 3: Define Your Brows

Well-groomed eyebrows frame your face. Use an eyebrow pencil or powder to lightly fill in any sparse areas using short, hair-like strokes. Then, brush them into place with a spoolie.

Step 4: Enhance Your Eyes

For a natural look, stick to neutral eyeshadows. Apply a light, shimmery shade all over your lid and a slightly darker matte shade in the crease for subtle definition. Finish with one or two coats of mascara on your top lashes.

Step 5: Add a Healthy Flush

Cream blush gives the most natural, skin-like finish. Smile and apply a small amount to the apples of your cheeks, blending upwards towards your temples.

Step 6: Finish with a Natural Lip

Choose a lipstick or tinted lip balm that's one or two shades darker than your natural lip color. A "my lips but better" shade is the perfect finishing touch.
