The "no-makeup" make-up look is one of the biggest beauty trends of recent years – and it's here to stay.
The focus is on a fresh, healthy, and natural look, where it's barely noticeable that makeup is being worn. Perfect for anyone who wants to enhance their complexion without covering it up.
What makes the look so special?
-
Naturalness is paramount – no harsh contours, no thick layers.
-
Healthy skin is the foundation – the look depends on a well-groomed complexion.
-
Multifunctional products – few steps, big impact.
-
Light textures – nothing should look mask-like.
But how do I create a “no make-up” make-up look?
Here is a step-by-step guide with some product recommendations:
Step 1: Skincare is key
The "no-make-up" look only works if the skin is fresh and well-cared for.
Prep tip: A light moisturizer that provides hydration without being greasy.
Our recommendation: ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Cream 80ml
Step 2: Light base instead of full coverage
Choose a BB cream, tinted moisturizer or light foundation that evens out the complexion without completely covering it up.
Tip: Mix your foundation with some moisturizer to make it more transparent.
Our recommendation: MISSHA Perfect Cover BB Cream 50ml
Step 3: Bring freshness to your face
A cream blush in a rosy or peachy tone provides a youthful freshness.
Pro tip: Even a touch on the lips and eyelid creates a harmonious look.
Step 4: Subtle eyes
For the "no-make-up" look, mascara applied only to the upper lash line is often sufficient .
If desired, the eyelashes can be curled beforehand with a curling iron to open up the eyes.
Step 5: Natural Glow
A creamy highlighter applied to cheekbones, bridge of the nose and Cupid's bow makes the face glow – subtly, not glitterily.
Step 6: Well-groomed lips
Not a heavy lipstick, but a tinted balm or gloss .
Extra tip: Gently exfoliate your lips beforehand and pamper them with lip balm.
Our recommendation: TOCOBO Glass Tinted Lip Balm 013
The "no-makeup" make-up look is perfect for everyday life, the office, or brunch.
With the right skincare – e.g., the light, skin-friendly products from Cosmadic – and a few cleverly used make-up steps, your look will appear fresh, awake and naturally beautiful.
