Get The Look: The "No-Makeup Makeup" Look!

As we gear up for the official start of fall, one thing we don’t have to worry about layering on is makeup. The “No-Makeup Makeup” trend flooded the New York, Milan, and Paris Fashion Week runways this season with models flaunting bare faces or minimal makeup – proving the “normcore” look is here to stay.

Creating a flawless, nude face takes just minutes (another added bonus of the trend!) but the first step in creating the look is the most important – consider it the primer’s primer. Begin by washing your face using a Clarisonic – clinically proven to cleanse your face six times better than your hands – which then allows for better product absorption. This makes your face the perfect, clear canvas for adding nude makeup touches to finish the look.


PERFECT CANVAS- THE PRIMER’S PRIMER


Clarisonic Sonic Radiance Brightening Solution

For flawless makeup application, one must first have the perfect canvas. Clarisonic, the pioneer in sonic cleansing, introduces the Sonic Radiance Brightening Solution, the key to unlocking your brightest complexion.

NUDE EYE SHADOW

Urban Decay NAKED2 Basics

When UD junkies cried out for a palette of matte neutrals, the original NAKED Basics delivered, and left them begging for more shades. Always one to satisfy their fans, Urban Decay introduces NAKED2 Basics. Cooler in tone than the original, this palette comes with six taupe-hued matte neutrals, including five never-before-seen shades, along with one shade with a slight satin finish – ideal for highlighting and adding dimension. Never chalky or powdery, every shade in NAKED2 Basics has a rich, buttery feel for the perfect application, delivering rich color, serious staying power, and blendability. Use the palette to create the perfect neutral matte eye, and then on the days when you’re craving more color, pair them with your favorite bolder shadows. These shadows are neutral enough for those with cool skin tones to olive complexions to darker skin.

  1. These are some great recommendations, my skin goes through such a drastic change during the winter that I have to use more gentle product. Thanks for sharing love
