We love a fresh natural makeup look! Here are some quick and easy ways to achieve a barely-there but beautiful finish for every day.
A natural base
Mineral powder foundation is perfect for creating the base for a natural makeup look.
It buffs on to the skin beautifully and doesn’t take a lot of product to deliver a luminous glow with natural coverage.
Step 1: Swirl your kabuki brush into the product pot and tap off any excess.
Step 2: Apply the powder in a swirling motion all over your face then buff to work it into the skin.
The end result is skin that appears more even and luminous without a heavy look. If you’d like a little more coverage, apply a mineral BB cream before the mineral foundation. This will help to smooth any imperfections while still achieving a natural makeup look.

A natural brow
Polishing your natural brows, but not going overboard, is about keeping your look simple and balanced.
Step 1: Brush your clean, makeup free brow hairs through with a spoolie in an upward motion.
Step 2: Take a brow pencil and, following the direction of hair growth, fill in your brows with short, hair like strokes starting from the inner brow working outwards. Drawing individual lines gives a more natural look than shading.
Step 3: Grab your spoolie and run it through the brows again to blend any harsh lines.
Step 4: Add powder. Lightly dip your brush into the eyebrow powder. Move the brush upward using light, feather-like strokes.
Adding powder after pencil helps add the illusion of volume while keeping brows natural looking. Plus, it sets the pencil.
Step 5: Finish the look by swiping on clear brow gel for long-lasting hold.

A natural cheek
Blushes in pinks and warm peach hues will help create an oh-so-subtle flush that livens up your skin in a natural way. Or, you could opt for a bronzer for cheeks for natural, sunkissed luminosity.
Step 1: Load your brush with your chosen blush or bronzer and tap off any excess.
Step 2: Smile to see the natural apples of your cheeks.
Step 3: Gently swirl the blush across your cheeks in a circular motion starting at the apple of your cheek and working your way out along your cheek bone.
Step 4: Build until you’re happy with the intensity
The type of brush you use to apply blush really is the secret to pulling off a natural makeup look. You want to opt for a large, fluffy brush. The fluffier the brush, the less product it will pick up - ideal for a gentle wash of colour.

A natural eye
A natural makeup look for your eyes just calls for a palette of 3 shades in neutral / natural hues, a pencil eyeliner, and mascara.
Step 1: Take your base colour and work it all over the lid. Don’t get too heavy with the application, you want a gentle wash of colour for the most natural eye makeup.
Step 2: Now select a deeper colour and apply the product along the bottom lash line, following the shape of the lashes.
Step 3: With the same shade as step 2, press the colour into your upper lash line at the outer corner of the eye. Work your way so the colour intensity tapers off as you move toward the middle of the eye. Keep the colour close to the lash line, don’t take it up too high.
Step 4: Blend out any harsh lines with a fluffy eyeshadow brush.
Step 5: Take your eyeliner of choice, a pencil works best for a natural look, and line the upper lash line.
Step 6: With the darkest shade of your colour trio, buff and blend it over the eyeliner, concentrating pigment in the outer corner. This will add depth to the look.
Step 7: Finish with a few coats of mascara to open up your eyes and polish the look!

A natural lip
We’re aiming for a natural looking lip that is still nicely polished. Choose a pink/neutral lip colour one or two shades darker than your natural lip colour.
Step 1: Prep the lips with a gentle exfoliation using a toothbrush with soft bristles.
Step 2: Using a dabbing motion, press the colour into your lips. You don’t need to be too precise with the lip line or use a lip liner for a natural makeup look.
Step 3: You can take your natural pout a little further by adding a dab of highlighter just to the centre of your lips to create the illusion of fullness. Try it with Brow Pop, our multipurpose creamy highlighter in a soft peachy hue.
