We love liner, lashes, and full coverage as much as the next (and probably a little more), but sometimes we’re just in the mood for a ‘no makeup’ makeup look. Think glossy skin, brushed up brows, a little blush action, maybe a lip balm and not much else. 

We’ve done some digging and found the best bare-faced-but-better looks, that will enhance your natural glow and have everyone believing that you really did just wake up like this.


@belle_envie

No makeup makeup starts with a good base. @belle_envie you have a glow to die for.


@leahbaines_mua

Healthy looking natural skin is the new full coverage. Pair with a peachy pink lip like @leahbaines_mua and you’re good to go.


@emjmua_

We are obsessed with the fluffy brow trend, still. @emjmua_did you actually wake up like this?


@hollybroomhall

A subtle contour goes a long way, @hollybroomhall has nailed the bare-faced look, and those brows. We’re obsessed.


@iulia_david_photography

Faux freckles + glass like skin= a dreamy combo. @bridal_by_becky we love your take on no makeup makeup.


@leahbaines_mua

Bushy brows? Check. Dewy skin? Check. Faux freckles? Check. @leahbaines_mua is ticking all the boxes.


@makeupby_angelicareneee

We love this dreamy natural look from @makeupby_angelicareneee. Don’t hide your natural features with makeup, enhance them.


@michellewicklandt

@michellewicklandt is showing us that you don’t have to skip the eyeshadow in a no makeup makeup look. This subtle smoky look is natural but still glam.


@paulinebriscoe

@paulinebriscoe is serving I woke up like this vibes, with a touch of pink of course. 


@rebecca_mrx

If you search no makeup makeup on google, we’re pretty sure that @rebecca_mrx will be first on the list. We’re obsessed with this dewy, rosy skin look.


@zoralyn_

Switch out your full coverage glam for a polished effortless glow like @zoralyn_. It’s you but on a good day.


@christine_oftherose

We can only dream of skin like @christine_oftherose’s. This dreamy glossy vibe is perfect for a no makeup makeup look.


@miamibeautyvice

Serving SPF glow is @miamibeautyvice. You’re never going to want to go back to full coverage again. 


@redbossbeauty

Serving your-skin-but-better vibes is @redbossbeauty. We’re obsessed with this glow and must replicate immediately.


@rwennekes

@rwennekes is showing us how a little can go a long way. All you need is a little brush of the brows, a light wash of foundation and a hint of blush.
