Beauty shouldn’t be an onerous task; natural makeup products should make this easier, such as light coverage foundation or tinted moisturizer that blends into the complexion seamlessly.

Dewy Skin
Dewy skin has long been one of the hottest beauty trends, and it’s easy to see why. The look is soft, subtle, and radiant with a healthy sheen that appears as though it emanates from within rather than just its surface layer.
Attaining this look requires an effective skincare regimen focused on hydration. Look for moisturizers or serums containing hyaluronic acid and/or glycerin that can plump skin while giving it a fresh, well-quenched appearance. Non-comedogenic oils also offer great options to lock in moisture while providing a healthy sheen without appearing oily or greasy.
Lightweight foundation or tinted moisturizer with a dewy finish will be the key to amplifying your natural luminosity and creating an even complexion. Look for formulas infused with humectants such as kombucha filtrate or marula oil that keep skin hydrated without feeling heavy or greasy.
Enhance your natural makeup look with soft blush that complements your natural flush and a light coating of mascara for natural-looking lashes. Smudges of highlighter along the bridge of the nose and Cupid’s bow can complete this look by giving an air of ethereality.
Warm-Hued Glow
An inviting sun-kissed glow is an exquisite way to bring out your natural features. To achieve it, start by highlighting your face using your go-to highlighter in a shade that matches or complements your skin tone, add soft blush on the apples of your cheeks, and finish this natural look off with peach lipstick or nude lip tint—faux freckles add an adorable little girly flair that completes this simple, natural look!
If you want a glamorous but natural look, try using a cream bronzer with golden undertones for your complexion. Add warmth with some pink blush and rosy lipstick or gloss, as well as black eyeliner applied over full lashes with mascara—for added drama, add ink blush with winged liner to your brows for some added drama!
Fresh, natural makeup should only enhance your beauty without overwhelming it. Masterful beauty experts know which products and colors work for them while simultaneously accentuating specific features with minimum effort required—with practice you too can become adept at effortless beauty!
Statement Eyes
Though many perceive natural makeup looks to be simpler or easier than full-glam styles, they require just as much artistry and precision. The key is creating an appearance of flawless naturalness—think rosy cheeks, high cheekbones, and no dark circles! And then applying just enough product for each task at hand.
To achieve that look, the key lies in selecting lightweight foundations and tinted moisturizers with light to medium coverage that will provide you with an illuminating base. In addition, cream-based blushes, bronzers, and highlighters that blend into the skin rather than sit atop of it can also help.
Eyeshadow should always add subtle dimension without overpowering natural beauty, so use a soft wash of neutral or neutral-hued eyeshadow with just a bit of pigment for an unexpected pop of color without overshadowing it. For best results, use a clean brush with soft bristles to diffuse and apply eyeshadow using light strokes—then complete your look by applying mascara to both top and bottom lashes, along with some light lip gloss, such as this shade from Colourpop, for a hydrating, pinky-red glow!
If you want something even bolder, why not experiment with an eye and lip combination that will really stand out? Dillon Del Toro shows us how this trend can be executed using purple smoky eyes with bright red glossy lips as an example.
Glitzy Glam
At the core of natural beauty lies its foundation: making sure it blends effortlessly without visible edges. A tinted moisturizer or sheer foundation works wonders here; their light coverage creates an ideal base upon which cream-based blushers, bronzers, and highlighters can glide onto—without dragging or pulling! A creamy formula also works well when applying lip color; patting it on is best to achieve a soft, natural finish.
Add some glamour to your fresh-faced look by selecting a brown or pink lipstick that is one shade lighter than your natural skin tone, to allow the lip color to pop more against your glowing complexion. To further accentuate your warm-hued glow, create an eye wing using brown mascara before finishing up by dusting on some loose shimmer dust for an additional subtle shimmer effect on the lids.
Be mindful that less is more when it comes to effortless glam. Too much makeup can overwhelm your natural features and leave you looking overdone; instead, focus on one feature at a time: for instance, dramatic cheekbones add drama, while dark eyes or bushy brows can give an otherwise natural-looking appearance an alluring twist. Keep the rest of your look simple by opting for neutral palettes, natural-toned blush, and softly bitten lips—no fuss necessary.
