1. Natural Golden Glow
This my go-to natural makeup look not just in the summer, for me there’s no other perfect look than the glow of natural-looking makeup! Here’s how to get a beautiful sun-kissed skin:
- Clean, moisturize, and prep your skin, and then apply a natural foundation. NARS Sheer Glow Foundation is one of my top recommendations.
- Apply a concealer under the eyes and cover any areas of redness and blemishes.
- Use your finger to dab a touch of Mac Pink Rebel Skin Finish on the top of the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and inner eye area.
- Apply lightweight setting powder to the t-zone.
- Slightly polish on Mac Cream Blusher in Ladyblush over your cheekbones.
- Define your eyebrows softly with a powder brow product like the HD Brow Palette in ‘Bombshell’.
- Prep the lid with Mac Paint in Bare Canvas and follow with a sweep of Mac Honesty eyeshadow blended into the crease of the eye.
- Use a defining mascara with a smaller and thinner wand. Max Factor’s Masterpiece Mascara would be perfect to recreate this effect. Place individual false lashes to achieve a pretty lift in the outer corners of your eyes, but this is optional.
- Keep lips really soft – the look is almost lip tone like. Laura Mercier’s Lip Tint in Shy Girl can create a barely-there natural finish.

Whether you choose to put on eye makeup or not, flushed cheeks will almost instantly give you the most natural-looking glow. One amazing technique to achieve it is by mixing your cream blush with your cream highlighter!
Here’s how:
- Use sunscreen as your base makeup. Apply with a clean sponge in a pounding motion for better absorption.
- Use a cream blush or any blush that looks a bit translucent and apply on the cheeks for flushed cheeks.
- Do spot concealing. Just conceal areas you need to cover up.
- Fill in and add color to your brows. Keep it natural.
- Pat translucent setting powder all over the face to set your makeup in place.
- For the eyes, use a mauve pink shadow for the lids and a light brown shadow for the crease.
- Next, use a light brown eyeliner and apply it in a zigzag motion on the lash line.
- Curl your lashes and apply lengthening mascara on both the upper and lower lashes. One to two coatings will do.

The epitome of natural makeup is the no-makeup makeup look, we can all agree to that! This one here is what most women are eyeing to achieve. It’s one of those no-makeup makeup looks.
Follow the steps below to create it:
- Use a tinted moisturizer or a tinted sunblock as your base.
- Normally, I do not recommend adding a foundation since we are aiming for a no-makeup look, but if you feel like you need to do this step then by all means, just keep it as light as possible. Now, to do this, you should use a stippling brush.
- Apply concealer to cover your dark circles and blemishes. a follow it with a concealer. Tarte’s Shape Tape Concealer can do the job.
- Apply a taupe brown eyeshadow at the crease of your eyes just to give it contour.
- Apply a cream blush. This gives color to your face but since cream blushes are easier to blend on the skin it gives the most natural flush.
- Use a nude lip color of your choice. I love Charlotte Tilbury’s Matte Revolution lipstick in Pillow Talk. This is a cult favorite and I must say it’s a gorgeous color that works on a wide range of skin tones!
- Curl your lashes and apply a volumizing mascara for the last step.
