Makeup is an incredible outlet for creativity for many of us. But for everyone who’s ever experimented with it a lot, the moment inevitably comes when they get tired of cut-creases, glitter, and heavy contour. At this very moment, the best thing we can do is to embrace our natural features and let them shine through minimal no-makeup makeup.
We at Now I’ve Seen Everything found 20+ great examples of these looks to inspire you to try it out.

“My ‘no-makeup’ makeup:”
“No-makeup makeup look!”
“I used to have a severe case of perioral dermatitis that ruined my self-esteem for a long time. So it’s always so nice to hear pleasant things about my appearance.”
“Almost all the makeup products I use aren’t expensive. I either bought them at a drugstore or got them as a gift. I hate spending money on makeup, because my skin tone changes so dramatically throughout the seasons that it’s not worth it.”
“I want to try to be naturally pretty instead of applying a lot of makeup to look pretty. I love red lips and dark liner, but I feel I need to start embracing how I look.”

“My 10-minute ‘no-makeup’ makeup look. I spend about 1-2 minutes on my brows, and less than a minute on my lips and to apply mascara. The majority of the 10 minutes is spent on my skincare routine.”
“Before and after ‘no-makeup’ makeup look. After many years of fighting acne, I’m finally happy with my skin.”
“My everyday ‘no-makeup’ makeup for hooded eyes. The most important thing is to make the shadow from the crease lighter, the crease itself smaller, and the eyelid bigger. And if you curl your eyelashes, it’ll change a lot!”
“A night shifter’s 10-minute no-makeup makeup look! Concealer is my lifeline.”
