NO Makeup.. Makeup.. Makeup.. Makeup

A lot of people ask how do you achieve a no makeup, makeup look? How long does it take? Is it a less expensive makeup application?

To answer the first question.. here are the steps!

Step 1: Moisturize
This look is all about radiance so the more you hydrate your skin the better off you'll be. Pat on a dime-sized amount of moisterizer. It absorbs quickly and protects your skin from sun damage with SPF and anti-oxidants.
Step 2: Prime
So often women skip this step, but primer is a must because it helps makeup last all day, sops up oil, and minimizes the appearance of pores. Primer is super light weight so if you're not typically a primer wearer, you won't feel like you're wearing an extra layer of product.
Step 3: Even Out Skin Tone
Apply concealer under eyes to buff out dark circles, then use a Beauty Blender or your fingers to work in liquid foundation. Temptu S/B Foundation contains silicone, which locks in moisture and gives skin a natural glow."
Step 4: Bronze
Bronzer contours your face while still looking natural. Dust bronzer on the apples of your cheeks, forehead, and chin—anywhere the sun would hit."
Step 5: Highlight
A highligher reflects light to accentuate your features, but looks natural, like you simply have lit-from-within skin. Tap this powder on the bridge of your nose, cupid's bow, and tops of cheekbones.
Step 6: Set It
Use a translucent setting powder and setting spray to lock everything in!
Step 7: Emphasize Your Eyes
Sweep a dark brown shade on your lid and blend up to the crease. Pop a champagne color on the arch of your brow to define it—but don't get heavy handed. Too much shimmer in this area looks unnatural, not to mention tacky. Insight: New nude doesn't mean boring. Swipe on black liner to create beautifully contrasted eyes. I've found the most natural looking liner is a black gel applied with a teeny, tiny brush.
Step 8: Hydrate Lips
A moisture-rich formula leaves your lips soft and smooth.
Question #2 adn #3: This makeup looks still takes around the same amount of time as a regular makeup application and uses the same, if not more products. When creating the no makeup, makeup look, the focus is on the skin!
