The “no-makeup” makeup trend is defined by the fresh-faced, effortless look that comes with using minimal makeup products to highlight your natural features instead of covering them up. But how does that translate to mature skin, especially if you want to minimize the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, or other visible signs of aging?
Geller assures us it’s very possible to achieve the look, “but it looks a little different than it does on 25-year-old skin. On mature skin, no-makeup makeup is really about healthy, glowing skin, not completely invisible makeup. The key is keeping everything lightweight and strategic.”
Ahead, Geller shares everything you need to know to master the look yourself.
Start with a skin-like base
A dewy, radiant makeup look starts with hydrated skin, and that means using a good primer. “Start with a good base using Spackle Primer to smooth and hydrate,” Geller suggests. Once your skin is prepped for makeup, Geller says to “then go in with a breathable, skin-like foundation like Baked Balance-N-Brighten.” One of Laura Geller Beauty’s bestsellers, the baked foundation offers buildable coverage that doubles as a color corrector, evening out the complexion with a natural finish in just a few swipes.
Add a subtle pop of color
After applying your skin-like base, Geller says to “add a touch of blush to add a pop of color” to the look. Laura Geller Beauty’s Baked Blush-N-Brighten is just the product for the job. Available in a range of 13 shades, you can choose the one that best complements your skin tone to enhance your natural flush.
Skip the powder
A no-makeup makeup look is just as much about the products you skip as the ones you apply. “Skip heavy, full-face powder,” Geller warns. “The goal isn’t to look like you’re wearing nothing, it’s to look like your most radiant self, with makeup that enhances rather than masks.”
