All the products you need for the perfect no-makeup makeup look
Want to elevate your natural features without spending hours on a full face of makeup? DW, the no-makeup makeup look is here to save you time *and* effort. Using simple products that highlight your individual beauty, the “no-makeup” makeup look requires minimal skill and results in maximum natural glow.
Taking inspo from TikTok's "clean girl" aesthetic, the trendy no-makeup look focuses on dewy, healthy and well-moisturized skin. While a full-coverage look can still be a total slay, it's a good idea to give your skin a break from heavy foundations and concealers every once in a while—but that doesn't mean you have to give up your love of makeup either. We've got all the products you need to perfect a radiant, natural look. You'll be glowing in no time!
Rare Beauty Tinted Moisturizer
I mean, would our queen Selena Gomez ever steer us wrong? This bestselling Rare Beauty skin tint is the definition of no-makeup makeup. At the intersection of foundation and moisturizer, this product hydrates your skin while also providing that needed coverage. The breathable, flexible formula blurs blemishes without making that pesky pimple flare-up any worse. Plus, it's got SPF 30 to your shield your skin from harsh UV rays.
Milani Cheek Kiss Liquid Blush
No matter the season, rosy cheeks are always on trend—whether you want the cutest "cold girl" look or you're craving a sunkissed face. This Milani liquid "cheek kiss" is lightweight and dewy, while still providing that dreamy flush. We recommend "Nude Flush" or "Cheeky Coral" for the most natural look.
Milk Makeup Cream Highlighter
Not to be punny, but this product will be a highlight of your no-makeup makeup routine. Pearlescent and delicate, Milk's glide-on cream highlighter provides a shimmer to rival your best post-workout glow. Illuminate all your natural high points (think brow bones, cheekbones, nose) and you'll have Hailey Bieber's "glazed donut" skin in no time.
Glossier Balm Dotcom
With 9 unique formulas to choose from and an ~iconic~ product design, Glossier's Balm Dotcom is exactly as its name suggests—the bomb. The conditioning formula hydrates your lips while giving them a dainty sheen. If you're going for a totally natural vibe, try the original formula. But if you're looking for a little lip tint, the "Wild Fig" or "Lavender" shades will be your go-to.
Covergirl Easy Breezy Brow Volumizing Setting Gel
This clear brow gel is the holy grail of drugstore brow products. The formula tames even the most unruly brow hairs into the shape you desire, while keeping it tint-free and totally natural looking. The applicator even makes for the perf fluffy brow look, too. You'll be soooo on-trend.
Burt's Bees 100% Natural Nourishing Mascara
You trust Burt's Bees with your most chapped winter lips, so why not trust them to nourish your eyelashes? This afforable mascara is infused with Jojoba oil and glycerin for maximum lash health (perfect for sensitive eyes). If you're looking for a gentle lengthening serum that will still make your eyes pop without looking clumpy, this mascara has your back.
