Super Easy Light Makeup, No-foundation Look
Hey everyone! I’ve created this light makeup look with no foundation. Follow along with me to learn how to get this doable, no-foundation makeup. Let's get started.
Tools and materials:
- Primer stick
- Corrector stick
- Flat, stippling brush
- Concealer
- Makeup sponge
- Contour stick
- Highlighter stick
- Soft brush
- Blush stick
- Translucent powder
- Mattifying compact powder
- Eyeshadow palette
- Eyeshadow brush
- Flat, angled brush
- Brow definer
- Mascara
- Lipstick
- Setting mist
1. Apply primer
To smooth out any fine lines and blur pores, apply your go-to primer. For this tutorial, I chose an easy-to-use primer stick.
Concentrate on applying the primer to the T-zone area. Then, go in with your fingers to really massage it into the skin.
2. Cover dark spots
Next, go in and cover any dark areas with a corrector stick. I’m applying it slightly to my chin and under my eyes.
Then blend it in with a flat, stippling brush.
3. Highlight with concealer
Next, highlight the center of your face by applying a brightening concealer.
Then, blend it with a makeup sponge, which keeps the concealer intact by not moving it around too much.
4. Contour and blend
Apply a minimal amount of contour to the sides of your face, at the cheekbones and along the ridge of your nose.
Then, use a flat, stippling brush to blend it out.
At the forehead, blend it out toward the hairline. Then, whatever is left on the brush, blend inward toward the highlighted areas.
Next, blend out the contour lines on your nose with your ring fingers. I find that this gives you a straighter line than if you used a brush.
Now, use your makeup sponge to tap over the edges, between the contour and the highlight for a seamless look.
5. Use a highlighter stick
Lightly apply your highlighter stick to your cheeks with a light hand, to avoid lifting off the concealer underneath.
Also apply this at the center of the bridge of your nose.
Then apply a small amount to your cupid’s bow and your brow bones.
Now, tap the product in with a soft, fluffy brush.
Avoid sweeping or swirling the brush because that tends to lift off the product underneath.
6. Apply blush
First apply some color from the blush stick to the back of your hand to slightly warm it.
Then pick up the color with your fluffy brush and apply it lightly to your cheekbones.
7. Apply setting powder
Use your makeup sponge to dab the translucent powder in the under-eye area as well as at the sides of your nose.
Use it in areas where you tend to crease the most.
8. Apply compact powder
Now, lightly tap compact powder all over the rest of your face with the sponge.
9. Apply a base color to your eyes with the contour stick
I love making my products multitask! Use the contour stick to add a few dots of color to your eyelids.
Then, spread and blend it in with a fluffy brush.
10. Intensify the eyelids
Dust a warm, reddish brown shade of eyeshadow to the outer â…” of your eyelids with the fluffy brush.
Next, pack on the same color with a denser, flatter brush, concentrating it on the outer corners of the eyes.
Then apply a rose gold shimmer shade to the inner â…“ of your eyelids.
Now, pop a small amount of champagne color on the inner corners of your eyes.
11. Apply shadow to your lash lines
Apply black eyeshadow on a flat, angled brush to your lash lines, concentrating it mostly at the outer corners for a subtle lift.
Then, using a smaller brush, apply the brown eyeshadow color to your lower lash lines.
12. Perfect your eyebrows
Using a brow pencil, fill in any sparse areas of your eyebrows.
Then use a spoolie to blend it in seamlessly.
13. Add mascara
Apply mascara to your upper and lower lashes.
14. Add lip color
Apply your favorite lip color.
15. Use a setting spray
Finally, cover your eyes and spray on some setting mist to keep everything in place.
That’s it for my fresh, no-foundation makeup routine!

It looks great but that's a lot of work and time not to mention the list.
