The Perfect No Makeup-Makeup Look for Summer

Summer is in full swing, and there’s no time like the present to experiment with a lighter, more natural, fuss-free makeup look. With longer days, warmer weather, and more time to be outside, no one wants to be bogged down by heavy makeup that might smudge or need touch ups. With our 5-step no makeup-makeup look, you can feel beautifully put together while allowing your skin to breathe, and your natural beauty to shine through. 

Step 1: All About Eyes

Beautiful lashes and bold brows never go out of style, but achieving them sans makeup might sound difficult. Enter RevitaLash® Advanced and RevitaBrow® Advanced: our award-winning conditioning serums formulated to deliver essential nutrients to the lashes and brows. Results include healthier, stronger and more beautiful looking lashes and brows - no makeup required. After cleansing the skin and eye area (we love Micellar Water Lash Wash for this!) apply RevitaLash Advanced to clean, dry lashes and RevitaBrow Advanced to brows, then follow with the rest of your skincare routine.

Step 2: Spotlight on Skin

Clean, hydrated, dewy skin is the perfect foundation for any natural makeup look. Since summer skin usually requires less moisture, a gel-based moisturizer gives the perfect amount of hydration without feeling too heavy or greasy. Our AquaBlur® Hydrating Eye Gel & Primer is the perfect multi-tasking product for achieving glowing, smooth skin. This ultra-light, ultra-hydrating gel can be used on the entire face (including lashes and brows!) to moisturize, soothe, blur and prime, setting the stage for the rest of your makeup.

Step 3: Forget Foundation

Steer clear of thick, full coverage foundations for this look. Instead, opt for a tinted sunscreen to help hide imperfections and protect your skin from UV rays. Apply with hands or a beauty sponge for ultimate dewiness, and don’t forget your neck!

Step 4: Brush Up Brows

The 90’s are long gone, but these days bushy brows are not only accepted – they’re encouraged! To achieve this look, choose a clear or tinted brow gel, like our Hi-Def Brow Gel, and brush through brows in short, upward strokes. Layer as needed for color to achieve hold. Your brows will love this long-lasting formula that nourishes as you wear.

Step 5: Fake a Flush

Reach for a neutral cream blush to bring some life to the skin and give yourself a natural looking glow. Apply to your cheekbones, nose, forehead and lips and blend with fingers. To nail the look, apply where your face naturally flushes after exercise and use that as your guide.
