Your “No Makeup” Makeup Looks, Part 3

Temptalia Readers Share Their “No Makeup” Makeup Looks!

And part three… one more to go! 🙂

Check out breakdowns for each reader’s look!

ANYA is 21 years old and lives in Russia. She prefers to spend her time (and money!) on her makeup obsession rather than her “serious” thesis about modern art and literature (which she is getting her degree in!). Though they don’t have MAC in Russia, when she travels to Europe, she buys all the MAC she can!

WHAT SHE LOVES ABOUT HER LOOK: The whole look was about creating a warm and fresh glow. It only took 5 minutes, and I really loved the result.

WHAT SHE USED: On eyes, she used Diorshow Iconic Mascara. On the face, she used Chanel #10 Vitalumiere Eclat Compact Makeup, Guerlain #01 Precious Light Rejuvenating Illuminator, Guerlain Teinte Rosee Meteorites Perles, and Armani #2 Powder Blush. On lips, she used Dolce & Gabbana Baby Darling Shine Lipstick and Guerlain Cupidon Lip Pencil.

KC is 25 years old and from Barbados. She absolutely loves the art of makeup. To KC, her face is a canvas to manipulate anyway she wants. She says, “Sometimes you don’t always get it right but trying is part of the fun!”

WHAT SHE LOVES ABOUT HER LOOK: This is more of a day look for me than a natural look, but it isn’t too far off!

WHAT SHE USED: On eyes, she used MAC Flip Eyeshadow (inner), MAC Aztec Brick Eyeshadow (lid), NYX Brown Eyeshadow (crease), MAC Graphblack Technakohl, and L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara. She skipped foundation and kept lips simple with MAC Band of Roses Mineralize Blush dusted on with clear lipgloss.

VANIA is all about accentuating her full lips! She believes brows make the face and feels her brows look naked without a lil’ bit of help!

WHAT SHE LOVES ABOUT HER LOOK: What I love about my look is that its natural but yet I’m wearing makeup. It only takes me 5-10 minuites to do my makeup. This is pretty much my everyday look, I switch up the lip products of different lip liners and nude/ pink lipsticks. I’m a sucker for pink lipstick!

WHAT SHE USED: On eyes, she used MAC Fluidline on the upper lash line and MAC Smolder on the waterline. She skipped foundation, but she did brows with MAC Taupe Impeccable Brow Pencil and MAC Show Off Brow Set. She used NYX #810 Natural Lipliner and MAC Fleshpot lipstick on her lips.

ILANA is 32 years old and lives in Sao Paulo, Brazil. She just finished up her PhD in Genetics (WOW!). In 2007, she went to a professional makeup artistry school, but she currently only freelances.

WHAT SHE LOVES ABOUT HER LOOK: What I love about the look is that people think that you just woke up like that!! That your skin is always perfect!! Specially those girls that don’t care about makeup or anything related to facial care and say, “Your skin is sooo beautiful, I wish mine was like this.” Then I have to hold myself to not tell them: My skin is like this because I wash my face, hydrate, use sun block and remove my makeup everyday with appropriate products. I don’t wash my face with my body wash in the shower! You should try this!

WHAT SHE USED: On eyes, she used Sephora #09 Flashy Pink Liner, Urban Decay Underground 24/7 Liner, and CoverGirl Brown LashBlast Mascara. On her face, she used MAC NC25 Studio Fix Foundation, MAC NW25 Studio Finish Concealer, and MAC Melba Blush. On lips, she used MAC Viva Glam V Lipstick.

ETAOIN is a 24 year old Masters student who is just finishing up her thesis. She’s Irish and lives near Dublin, and she can’t wait to start enjoying her summer!

WHAT SHE LOVES ABOUT HER LOOK: I love how easy and quick this is to do!

WHAT SHE USED: On eyes, she used MAC Bisque Eyeshadow, IsaDora Mulberry Eyeshadow Duo, Elizabeth Arden Smokey Eyeliner, and Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara. On her face, she used a mix of Make Up For Ever Face & Body and Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk set with MAC Translucent Powder and Pout Coral Eyeshadow on cheeks. On lips, she used Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream.

ENNA is 32 years old and was born in the Dominican Republic. For the past six years, she’s been living in Munich, Germany working as a freelance makeup artist and stylist. You can find her on YouTube.

WHAT SHE LOVES ABOUT HER LOOK: What I love about my look is that it gives me a nice radiance without looking “done”. It works great for oily skin.

WHAT SHE USED: On eyes, she used MAC Taupe Impeccable Brow Pencil, L’Oreal Black Lineur Intense, and CoverGirl LashBlast Mascara. On the face, she used Laura Mercier S5 Secret Camouflage, Benefit Powderflage, MAC C8 Studio Fix Powder, MAC NC55 Studio Fix Powder (contour), and MAC Garb Blush. For lips, she used MAC Soothing Beige Tinted Lip Conditioner.

BRIDGETTE is obsessed with makeup–she lives and breathes cosmetics. She loves to discover new techniques, color combos, and ways to use her products. Makeup is her stress reliever and the main reason she’s up so late at night! She writes mini-reviews, shows off her looks, and gives makeup advice on her blog.

WHAT SHE LOVES ABOUT HER LOOK: What I love about my no makeup look is that it takes less than 10 minutes and highlights all of my best features, eyes, lips and cheeks! I feel confident and effortlessly sexy!

WHAT SHE USED: On eyes, she used Napoleon Perdis Black Black Long Black Mascara. On her face, she used Bobbi Brown Warm Almond 6.5 Touch Up Stick, Mally Beauty Rich Visible Skin Adjustable Foundation Powder, NARS Cadques Sheer Multiple, and NARS Super Orgasm Blush. On lips, she used Napoleon Perdis Auto-Pilot Lip Service and B Sexy Lipgloss.

STEF is the co-editor of we heart this, a site that is a little bit of everything, a whole lot of love. What does she love most? Beauty, of course!

WHAT SHE LOVES ABOUT HER LOOK: I love this look because I think I could do it with my eyes closed! And it’s not so much that I feel overdone, but enough to make me feel confident.

WHAT SHE USED: On eyes, she used Laura Geller Brow Marker, Laura Geller Eye Spackle, MAC Next to Nothing Eyeshadow (lid), Shu Uemura IR 800 Eyeshadow (lid), MAC Teddy Eye Kohl, MAC Garb Blush (crease), and Blinc Mascara. On the face, she used Tarte #04 Smooth Operator Tinted Moisturizer and MAC Garb Blush. On lips, she wore Bare Escentuals Wild Honey Lipgloss.

KALI is a girl who loves all the good things in life: makeup, chocolate-dipped strawberries, and afternoon naps in the middle of a summer day. You can find out more about her at her blog.

WHAT SHE LOVES ABOUT HER LOOK: My favorite part about my look is the subtle eyeliner on my upper lashline. It makes me look more awake! I also like that the look doesn’t take long and looks pretty natural.

WHAT SHE USED: On eyes, she used NARS Alhambra Eyeshadow, Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow (base), Eyeko Natural Brown Graffiti Eyeliner Pen, Prestige My Biggest Lashes Mascara, and Styli-Style Brown Browliner24. On her face, she used Fresh Twilight Freshface Glow (mixed with lotion) and Cargo Topeka Blush. On lips, she wore NARS Angelika Lipgloss.

I’m sad I missed the note to email a look in! I’d have loved to participate. These are really fun to look through, with the variety of faces and styles involved!

Good job, ladies!

AAh my photography leaves a lot to be desired! i’ll try not to be too self critical though! love all the looks, everyone has such great eyebrows especially, i love well groomed brows!

Em Avatar

KC, you look radiant too!! And I love how you wear the Aztec Brick – I wish I could pull off that color!!

I love seeing everyone’s looks – great idea Christine!

Raven Avatar

The ladies all look lovely! However, I admit I don’t quite understand the point of wearing so many products while looking like you’re wearing no makeup. Seems easier to just wear no makeup like I do…

I loved Stef’s look. So simple, yet so good! She really shows the value in finding the right products for you and creating a simple and straight forward routine. It truly is a confidence booster to have a signature classic go-to look like this. Stef is just stunning!!

Stef Avatar

Wow, what a beautiful group! I’m honored to be in such glowing company.
Way to go, to the ladies in all 4 parts. And thanks Christine for doing something so fun.

Thanks for the looks – all the models look great but if you continue the series please create a look for a women with deep, dark complexion like myself (MAC NW 45 – 47 – 50 – 55 ranges). TIA.
