Although applying makeup with foundation and bright red lips is a nice way to break out of our everyday looks, there are days when we feel best when we look exactly like ourselves, or almost - just a version better. How? With the no make up look! Find out what it is and how you can master this trend here!
Trends come and go, but emphasizing authentic, natural facial features will never go out of style - and that's where the minimalist no make up look comes into play. Minimal makeup involves using fewer products in a meaningful way to create a greater impact. Think skin-perfecting moisturizers with color, reliable eyebrow products and multifunctional color pigments that will help you create a natural and fresh look even on days when you are tired and bursting with energy. That's how it works!
No make up look – step by step instructions on how to create it
Say goodbye to your heavy-coverage foundation (for now), because radiant, healthy skin and natural makeup will continue to be one of the biggest beauty trends in 2023. The no makeup look has gone from a confusing term to an ideal, and we're now telling you step by step how to achieve it!
Prepare your skin well
To master the no makeup look, you need a solid skin care routine. Once you've cleansed, toned and moisturized your skin, apply a primer to shrink visibly large pores and create a smooth and even base.
Minimize the use of primer
For a no-makeup look, we recommend skipping foundation. If you still want to apply a thin layer to your face, look for a foundation that has light coverage. For this, you can use a tinted moisturizer that subtly evens out your skin tone or you can mix a liquid foundation with moisturizer to dilute it.
Apply concealer using the dot method

The trick to a flawless no make up look is the correct application of concealer. The goal is to both strategically conceal facial imperfections and brighten your complexion. One way to achieve this effect is to apply concealer using the dot method. Use a small brush only on the areas where dark circles, pigment spots or redness appear.
Add a little color to your cheeks
Give your skin a natural flush by applying a very small amount of blush to your apples of the cheeks. If you want your complexion to look sun-kissed, apply a light layer of blush in a warm shade to your nose as well.
Brighten your face with highlighter or strobing cream
Glitter highlighters are a no-no when it comes to looking natural. However, a key product for a no make up look is liquid highlighter or strobing cream. Applying a small amount to the high points of your face is the quickest way to add radiance to your complexion. You can also mix the highlighter with your primer to give your skin a natural-looking glow from within and enjoy a dewy complexion.
Gently emphasize the eyes and brows
Eye makeup should be very simple and only serve to emphasize them. For this purpose, we advise you to use a liquid eyeshadow in a nude or pink shade that you spread over the eyelids with your fingers. Then lightly outline the eyes with a brown pencil and use a colorless mascara to curl the eyelashes and open the eyes

Stick with your lip color, but better!
The final step to your no make up look is your lips. Depending on your natural color and line, you should either use a lip liner or a cream lipstick in a shade as close to your natural color as possible - or a mixture of both. For pink lips and fair skin, a little lip gloss can be enough. For darker skin, choose a creamy lipstick in a darker shade and pat the lips well to achieve the most even blend and natural gradient.
