STYLE

Want to elevate your natural features without spending hours on a full face of makeup? DW, the no-makeup makeup look is here to save you time *and* effort. Using simple products that highlight your individual beauty, the “no-makeup” makeup look requires minimal skill and results in maximum natural glow. 

Taking inspo from TikTok's "clean girl" aesthetic, the trendy no-makeup look focuses on dewy, healthy and well-moisturized skin. While a full-coverage look can still be a total slay, it's a good idea to give your skin a break from heavy foundations and concealers every once in a while—but that doesn't mean you have to give up your love of makeup either. We've got all the products you need to perfect a radiant, natural look. You'll be glowing in no time!

I mean, would our queen Selena Gomez ever steer us wrong? This bestselling Rare Beauty skin tint is the definition of no-makeup makeup. At the intersection of foundation and moisturizer, this product hydrates your skin while also providing that needed coverage. The breathable, flexible formula blurs blemishes without making that pesky pimple flare-up any worse. Plus, it's got SPF 30 to your shield your skin from harsh UV rays.

No matter the season, rosy cheeks are always on trend—whether you want the cutest "cold girl" look or you're craving a sunkissed face.
