With that, our experts break down nine typical steps to an effortless, skin-friendly-but-better look for sport this spring, summer, and beyond. All signs point to embracing the skin you’re on.
Skin Is In
“Proper skin care is a must,” notes Hoffman. “Skin should be moisturized and exfoliated, which will enhance whatever products you put on it.” As Mayo puts it: “Well-prepped skin will give you a beautiful, dewy glow, which in turn will help you use less product. ’ So, like prepping for the Oscars or the Met Gala, it’s clear that skin prep is the most important step in achieving the look. We’ll go for SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel, a hyaluronic acid-infused serum designed to replenish and maintain skin moisture after cleansing, or Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum, which is a hydrating, brightening and firming salve. Follow with Tata Harper Illuminating Moisturizer, a silky formula infused with diamond powder to improve luminosity and volume. With this sequence, you’ll have the light glowing from within even before the second step.

thanks to a range of high-tech beauty tools , it’s easier than ever to lift, shape and tone your face in the comfort of your own home. The device can help promote a healthy, radiant complexion that complements your no-makeup look. One such gadget is the buzzing Solawave wand, which combines four treatments in one (red light therapy, microcurrent, therapeutic warmth, and gentle massage), or Jillian Dempsey’s vibrating tool, which provides instant relaxation facial muscles.

“Next, I’ll even out the skin tone – use the least amount of product to Get the coverage you need,” says Hoffman. So, swap out your medium to full coverage foundation for a lightweight formula like Ilia’s Super Serum Skin Tint, which gets bonus points for its signature SPF
. Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow is also great, especially for those with mature skin. You certainly don’t have to use all the colored options, though. As Mayo points out, you can correct or conceal any area of concern—even if you want to cover under-eye bags, pimples, or dark spots. “The best way to hide areas of concern is to use a color-correcting concealer with a small, precise brush to specifically target any problem areas,” he says. Clé de Peau Beauté’s stick, YSL’s brightener, or your favorite cleansing concealer will definitely do the trick.

Wearing a mask or taking it off, eyebrow trimming is always a must, the third step of minimalist makeup. While Mayo recommends a clear brow gel, you can definitely opt for a tinted formula or use a brow pencil to fill in thinning hairs. Gels from Rose Inc and Kosas smooth, lift and shape brows without making them hard and loose. On the other hand, try Glossier’s Brow Flick or Anastasia Beverly Hills’ Brow Wiz to subtly etch faux hair and add volume.

LENGTHEN EYELASH
ENHANCE YOUR NATURAL eyelash. For Mayo, that meant adding “a clean mascara, one that separates and volumizes lashes at the root,” rather than thicker formulas or false lashes. Ilia’s Limitless Lash is a clean formula that lifts and lengthens lashes, while La Bouche Rouge’s formula will take your lash length to the next level. Then, there’s tried-and-true classics like Diorshow, or one of our new favorites: Surratt’s Hair Color for instantly thicker lashes.

While you can certainly stop there, your no-makeup look can be enhanced by using a liquid or cream blush to dab a wash of color on your cheeks. Saie’s Dew Blush offers six creamy water-based gels that melt into the skin despite their vibrant colours. Chanel’s multipurpose lip and cheek balm infused with red 
camellia
flower nourishes the skin with a healthy flush while giving birth. Otherwise, Jones Road’s Miracle Balm or Merit’s Flush Balm will give buildable sheer tones anywhere you place them.

“I’ll add an accent,” Hough Mann said he might opt for a subtle highlight. With creamy formulas like Westman Atelier’s Lit Up Stick, Rare Beauty’s Liquid Luminizer, or RMS Beauty’s Cleansing Pigment, you can customize the glow you want. Remember: the goal is to make it look like your skin.

Mayo recommends layering a little loose powder on top of your makeup base for all-day wear, a helpful step for those with warmer seasons or oily skin types. Fortunately, today’s best loose powders are lightweight, oil-controlling, and don’t look clumpy. For glow from the inside out, apply Charlotte Tilbury’s or Kosas’ firming formula to your T-zone, under-eye area, or wherever you want to look. For a loose powder, on the other hand, if you want extra sun protection, just look no further than Ami Colé’s Pigments or Supergoop!’s Mineral SPF Powder.

Finally, you can apply a tinted lip balm or a lip balm for soft, beautiful lips that round out your look. Pick up formulas from Merit, Bobbi Brown, Hourglass, and NARS to experience their moisturizing benefits while delivering buildable, virtually non-existent pigment in just one swipe.
