Nude 'No Makeup' Look

A nude, “no makeup” look uses light layers and soft colour to enhance your features while keeping your skin visible. Adjust the coverage and colour to create a comfortable finish for work, a casual outing or a special occasion.

How to create a natural no-makeup look

1. Prepare your skin

Begin with your usual skincare routine and allow your moisturiser to settle before applying makeup.

2. Apply a light layer of foundation

Choose a formula and shade that suit your skin. Blend a small amount from the centre of your face outwards and add coverage only where you want it. Explore Adorn’s mineral foundations or use our foundation colour matching service if you are unsure of your shade.

3. Conceal selectively

Use a small amount of concealer where you want extra coverage, gently blending the edges into your foundation. For under-eye discolouration, explore Peachy Sleep Concealer and follow the product’s application guidance.

4. Add a soft flush of colour

Choose a blush shade that complements your complexion. Apply a little at a time and blend until there are no obvious edges. Browse our mineral blush collection for available colours and formulas.

5. Define your eyes and brows lightly

Brush your brows into place and add definition where needed. A light application of brow powder can help keep the finish soft. Add mascara if you prefer a more defined lash line.

6. Keep lips simple

Finish with a comfortable lip colour close to your natural lip tone. Start with a light application and build colour to your preference. Explore our mineral lipsticks.

Make the look your own

You do not need every step. You might prefer foundation and blush, concealer and mascara, or simply a soft lip colour. Check your makeup in natural light and adjust the coverage so it feels right for you.
