How to do a no-makeup makeup look

Admit it. You're curious about how to pull off the "no-makeup makeup" look. Applying a full face of makeup can be great fun, but the no-makeup makeup trend may get you out the door in record speed. If you've been wondering which steps to keep and which ones to skip, this tutorial will help you decide.

Looking natural means using just a few products to highlight your features without looking too obvious. You always want to fix your brows. After all, they frame your beautiful eyes. Lightening up the foundation will give you a more natural look, so will a little blush and a super subtle contour.

Ready to learn how to minimize your routine without sacrificing that polished look? Take a look at the instructions and video below to get started.

Materials
- Clean, disposable mascara wand
- Eye shadow or brow powder
- Illuminating moisturizer
- Concealer (or foundation)
- Fluffy synthetic powder brush
- Blush
- Contouring powder
- Angled contour brush
- Liquid highlighter
- Lipstick in a natural shade
- Finishing or setting spray

Directions
1. Brush your brows into place with the mascara wand.

2. Fill in any sparse areas in your brows with either a matte eye shadow or brow powder that closely matches your natural hair color.

3. Combine a few drops of illuminating moisturizer with concealer or foundation on the back of your hand, and apply all over your face in circular motions with the fluffy powder brush.

4. Wipe the brush on a clean tissue to remove any residue, and then use the same brush to apply blush onto the apples of your cheeks.

5. Apply contouring powder below the cheekbones, on your chin and on the upper part of your forehead. (Go easy and use a light hand. You don't want any visible lines or harsh edges.)

6. Put a few drops of liquid highlighter onto the back of your hand, and dot the product on the tops of your cheekbones, on the inner corners of your eyes and just beneath your brow bone. This will keep you from overdoing it.

7. Apply a lipstick shade that closely matches your natural lip color.

8. Set your makeup with a hydrating mist or setting spray.

You're all done. Quick, simple and naturally beautiful.
