My No Makeup Makeup Essentials


I love the "No Makeup Makeup" look. I am not blessed with the best skin complexion that I could just run out do errands with zero makeup on. But hey, a girl can fake it, right?


I have a couple of new favorite foundations lately. See my post on my recent love of the Laura Mercier  Smooth Finish Flawless Fluide. I received this Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation Serum from my Sephora online order. I checked a couple of days ago and the offer is still valid, enter code PMDSERUM with any US $25 purchase to receive this free.

It is in the shade light to medium. I believe it only comes in one shade unfortunately but this one works for me. This serum is for oily skin and I don't have to apply a primer or set it with a powder for this to stay glowy(not oily) all day long. The finish is incredibly amazing. It really looks like my skin but better. It gives my skin an instant glow without priming my skin with luminous product. It covers pores and fine lines, does not settle in dry patches. This may become my holy grail foundation :)

This foundation is light to medium coverage and I still need concealers. The 3CE Waterful Concealer is my go-to since it gives very natural coverage.

To mimic the "I just got back from a jog" healthy glowing cheeks, I apply the Benefit Rockateur blush. It is such a beautiful rose gold shade which gives the most natural flush.

For minimal eye-look, I just apply Physician's Formula Eye Booster Liner and use a flat liner brush to smooth over to mimic natural looks. L'oreal Telescopic Shocking Extension Mascara for my eyelashes. It gives my lashes extensions and lift without making it too dramatic. For eyebrows, I use Liole Auto Brow to slightly fill in my brows. To finish the look, I use the 3CE Tinted Lip Balm on my lips for a hint of color. It is so moisturizing and it has been my go-to lately.

Do you like the "No Makeup Makeup" look? What is your must-have?

    1. the 3CE tinted lip balm is really good. I like it much better than my Dior addict glow. It is more moisturizing and glides on just like a lip balm and the color payoff is much nicer. Highly recommend this.

  2. most days I'm wearing the no makeup makeup look, which for me consists of some kind of bb cream or tinted moisturizer, brow pencil, and tinted lip balm. If I have more time I will add blush/highlight, then if more time tightline/mascara :) glad to hear the Perricone is good. Can't wait to try it!

    1. The Perricone MD foundation serum is one of the best one I have tried so far. Contemplating on whether to get the full-sized one or not :)

    1. I love wearing minimal makeup to still look fresh and awake to run out do errands. Yes I have the Kiehl's midnight recovery serum and it is my must-have for night time skin care routine. The serum is amazing. I have also tried the midnight recovery eye as well but it is just ok.
