Hey there, beauty enthusiasts!
Today, I’m absolutely thrilled to share with you the secret behind achieving a natural, no foundation makeup look. But, what’s even better? I’m keeping it minimal with most focus on skin care so you can do this makeup everyday in just 5 minutes. Also, I have used mostly drugstore products.
So Let’s dive right in and create magic together!
Step 1: Prepping Your Skin with Clarins Urban Pollution Mist
Let’s begin with some skin pampering for easy no foundation makeup look ! Since we’re going for a natural makeup look, proper skin prep is key. I’m using a gem from Clarins, the Urban Pollution Mist. It’s a bit of a rarity now, and I’m almost on my last bottle which I took from my moms collection, much to my mother’s disapproving glares. But jokes aside, this stuff is amazing, especially for oily skin. I’m absolutely in love with it!

Step 2: Prepping Your Skin with Bulgarian Rose Satin Cream by Heimish
Next up, we’re showing some love to our skin. My go-to is the Heimish Bulgarian Rose Satin Cream. It not only hydrates my skin like a dream but also leaves me smelling like a field of Bulgarian roses. This cream goes the extra mile with Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) that brighten your skin by gently exfoliating it. It ensures my no foundation makeup look stays put.
Step 3: Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Gel From Estée Lauder
Our eyes are often the first to show signs of fatigue and stress, so a good eye cream is essential in our makeup routine. My go-to choice is the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Gel-Creme.
This eye cream is like a comforting hug for your eyes. Its gentle, gel-cream formula glides on smoothly and is designed to hydrate and rejuvenate the delicate skin around your eyes. The best part? It’s supercharged with the goodness of Estée Lauder’s renowned Advanced Night Repair technology, which means it’s working hard while you sleep to combat signs of aging and fatigue.

Step 4: Eye Primer using Ingrid Mineral Silk and Lift Foundation
To create the perfect canvas for my eyeshadow, I rely on my go-to product, the Ingrid All Mineral Silk & Lift. This multitasking gem not only prevents eyeshadow creasing but also imparts a flawless foundation to my eyelids. It’s an essential addition to any makeup kit, particularly if you have a beautiful deeper skin tone.

Step 5: Pastel Eyeshadow with Ingrid smart eyeshadow palette
Next in line, I reached for the amazing Ingrid Smart Eyes palette. This time, I opted for the lightest brown shade 2 to give my eyes a subtle and natural brown appearance which is perfect for no foundation makeup look.
What I adore about this Ingrid palette is its user-friendliness, especially when time is of the essence. Simply flip it over, check out the instructions on the back, and follow along. It’s a real lifesaver for makeup newcomers since it doesn’t demand any fancy tricks – just easy, breezy beauty in a hurry!
Step 6: Eyeliner Drama with Using the Essence Teddy 08 Kajal Pencil
Next up, I grabbed my trusty Essence Teddy 08 Kajal Pencil to work some magic. I used it to craft a soft, brown wing on my eyes. I find that this technique really opens up the eyes and adds a gentle, charming touch to the overall look. You’ve got options with this one – you can either skip the wing and stick with the liner or apply it inside the eye for a slightly different effect.

Step 7: Gloss It Up with Manna Babe LipLocked Priming Gloss Stain from Manna Kadar
Let’s spice things up a bit! Now, I’m going to grab my all-time favorite, the Manna Babe LipLocked Priming Gloss Stain from Manna Kadar. This shade is a gorgeous deep pink that makes my lips really stand out. But here’s the cool part: it starts off as a glossy finish and gradually transforms into a beautiful stain for no foundation makeup look.
I actually received this gem as a gift, and it was part of the “Sealed with a Kiss” makeup collection. It’s like a little makeup secret that adds a touch of intrigue to your look.
Step 8: Tapping In the Product NICKA K Vivid Matte Lipstick NMS03 Orange Red as a color Corrector
Now, let’s talk about this lipstick that’s a true budget-friendly find from a drugstore brand. It’s not only easy on the wallet but also incredibly versatile. I love using it not just as a lipstick but also as a color corrector because its pigment is on point. To use it as a color corrector I simple use it with my fingers to get the lightest product on my skin where I want the color corrections.
I have to admit, it didn’t quite make the cut for my top 5 orange lipsticks list, but mark my words, when I compile my top ten list of orange lipsticks, this Orange Red shade is definitely going to have a well-deserved spot. It’s a hidden gem worth having in your makeup collection!
Step 9 : NYX HD Concealer – no foundation makeup look
Now, Let’s talk about this standout concealer that, believe me, gives even the NARS concealer a run for its money. I’ve dipped my brush into a ton of concealers, and this one is an absolute winner. It has this creamy, dewy quality that makes it incredibly versatile – you can use it anywhere on your face, and it doesn’t scream “concealer” from a mile away which is especially great for no foundation makeup look.
I’ve even used it, blending it all over my face, and guess what? It worked like a charm! So, if you’re dealing with oily skin, this concealer is a solid choice that won’t let you down.
Extra Step for Oily Acne prone skin
Step 10 : The Body Shop All In One Face Base
If you’re in a hurry, you can totally stop right here and add a creamy blush for that natural flush. However, I’ve got a little extra step up my sleeve, especially for those of us with oily, acne-prone skin. This step not only provides a light, breathable coverage for no foundation makeup look but also ensures our makeup stays put throughout the day.
For this trick, I’m bringing back the trusty hydrating mist from Clarins. After a quick spritz, I let it settle for a few seconds. Then, I go in with The Body Shop All In One Face Base and apply it evenly all over my face. It’s like a little insurance policy to keep your makeup looking fresh and fabulous.
Step 11: Lifted Blush – Doll face blush Luscious Cosmetics
Now, it’s time to add a touch of rosy goodness to those cheeks. I’m reaching for my tried-and-true Doll Face Blush from Luscious Cosmetics. I’ll apply it to the high points of my cheeks to get that lovely flush. If you want to dive deeper into blush techniques, check out my video where I break down three different ways to use blush. After applying, I blend it in gently to achieve that perfect, natural-looking flush.
And TADA the look is complete. And voilà, we’re all set!
