We def don’t want to worry about putting on a full face of makeup once summer rolls around. Nobody likes the feeling of makeup melting off your face — but we’re not so keen on stepping out with a bare face either.

Fortunately, we found a way to achieve the “no makeup” makeup look with a few key beauty products that will keep you looking fresh all day long. They’re perfect for subtly highlighting and accentuating your features for that natural look.

Per-Fékt Beauty Skin Perfection Plus $48
This product is basically like an Instagram filter for your face. It “blurs” your imperfections and gives you a flawless finish without looking like you’re wearing any face product. It’s a primer and provides coverage and SPF all at the same time!

L’Oréal Infallible Eyeshadow $7.99
Opt for an eyeshadow that is one to two shades lighter than your skin. This will help brighten your eyes and dress them up just a bit. You’ll only need to apply the shadow to the lids and blend into the crease of your eye to achieve the “no makeup” makeup look.

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer $29
Covering up imperfections like blemishes and dark circles will keep you feeling confident even when going au naturel. Use a product that has a brush applicator so you can pin point exactly where you need to cover up without using excess product.

Smashbox ‘L.A. Lights’ Bendable Lip & Cheek Color $29
A warmer blush tone comes off as more natural than it’s lighter pink counterparts as the warmer tone mocks your face’s natural flush. Apply just a bit to the apple of your cheeks to keep your face from looking washed out. This product is great because it can be used on your lips as well for just a hint of color.

Diorshow Lash Extension Effect Volume Mascara $27.50
Thick lashes are great for the “no makeup” makeup look. This way, you can omit eyeliner and keep the look super streamlined. A formula which helps with volume will make your lashes stand out while using less coats. You will want to use about two coats when trying out this look.

Colourpop Cosmetics Brow Pencil $5
You can’t forget about your brows when looking to achieve the “no makeup” makeup look! Lightly outline and fill in the natural arch on your brow to define your face. Don’t try to draw your arch higher, though, as it’ll make your brows look overdone.
