The "No-Makeup Makeup" look is here to stay, and there are so many great products to achieve it. I find that the older I get, and the better I take care of my skin, the less I want heavy makeup. I LOVE the glowy, dewy look with a hint of color. These are my favorite products to achieve that look, and I use them every day.
After cleansing and applying my vitamin C serum, I use a few drops of my favorite face oil mixed with a couple of sprays of this hyaluronic serum. That gives my skin the perfect amount of hydration and a bit of a golden glow. You can read more about my favorite face oils in this post.
Next comes my favorite tinted moisturizer: Iris & Romeo Weekend Skin... I LOVE this stuff. It has an SPF of 50, so I don't need to apply a separate sunscreen. It has a silky, creamy texture that applies flawlessly and gives you a beautiful glow with light coverage. It comes in 3 shades, and I use the shade Universal Warm Glow, which gives my medium skin tone great color.
If I want just a little more coverage, I reach for this RMS SunCoverup. It also has an SPF of 50 and goes on silky smooth with a bit more coverage than a tinted moisturizer. It has more shades to offer for a better skin match. I also find that this applies better after using a lighter moisturizer than on top of my face oil. I use the shade Sand.
Bronze & Protect from Ciele has to be one of my best beauty finds of last year. This is such a versital product! I use it with the RMS SunCoveup to deepen the color just a tad when my skin is darker in the summer time. It only takes one drop and I love that it has an SPF of 50 so that it doesn't dilute the sun protection. I also add it to my regular sunscreen, moisturizer, or face oil for a hint of beautiful bronze color. If you put a drop on the back of your hand, you can use a brush or your fingertips to dot and blend a little just where you want it for a natural sun-kissed look. A little goes a long way! You can also add it to your body lotion to add color to your chest or shoulders. It is a totally clean product and gives the most radiant finish. I swear you will look like you just got back from a tropical vacation! I use the color Bronze 01.
My mom introduced me to Fiera Concealer a few years ago. It is the only concealer I have ever used that doesn't settle into my lines and crease. Unfortunately, it is not a completely clean product, but it is paraben-free and has some great skin ingredients like hyaluronic acid. I have to look past the fact that it isn't totally clean because it just works so well for me. It has a bit of a thick consistency, so I like to put a little on the back of my hand and warm it up with my fingertips before dotting it under my eyes and on my lids (to cover redness). It lasts all day, and if I do want to touch it up, it layers beautifully without getting cakey. The coverage is buildable depending on how much you need. I don't use a powder to set it and I don't think it needs it. I use the shade medium to cover dark circles. I also have the color sand and use that when I want to brighten my under-eye area a bit more.
I use this concealer from Westman Atelier to cover any redness around my nose or blemishes/sun spots. Westman makes clean beauty products with high-performance ingredients. This concealer has great coverage and blends well to cover imperfections. It is also great under the eyes, but I find that it creases a bit on me. That is most likely because I use a pretty hydrating eye cream or oil under my eyes for dryness, so that contributes to the creasing.
For some color, I love the Merit Flush Balm Cream Blush. I have several colors, but Cheeky is one of my favorites for a natural, fresh color. I also love the color Bespoke for a more muted, natural pink.
When I want a little extra brightness on my face, I use this RMS Beauty Luminizer. I dot a little above my cheekbones, on my brow bones, and my temples for just the right amount of highlight. It is not at all sparkly and pretty much goof-proof.
For a hint of eye color, I love this creamy eye shadow from Victoria Beckham Beauty in the shade Shroom. It is the perfect taupe with a hint of shimmer. It is quick and easy to apply, and you can build the color for a bolder look, or blend it with your fingertip for a more natural look.
I finish my eyes with a quick curl to my lashes using the Surratt Lash Curler. It is the best one I have ever used and gives my lashes a curl that lasts all day... no mascara needed. Then I do a quick brush of Benefit's Gimme Brow on my eyebrows to help thicken them and hold them in place. Gimme Brow truly enhances my sparse brows, making them appear fuller while keeping a natural look.
Lastly, a quick swipe of Inn Beauty Project's Sun Balm in Latte is the icing on the cake. A little natural color, non-sticky hydration, and SPF 30. I have this in Rosy Brown as well and love it for when I want a little more color. This is always in my beach bag when I go on vacation!
