How to Nail the Summer No Makeup Look: a Step by Step Tutorial

Happy Monday ya’ll! Today I’m introducing How to Nail the Summer ‘No Makeup’ Makeup Look. I absolutely love this makeup look for summer. If you’re interested in finding out how to achieve this look, keep reading!

 

If ya’ll know me, you know I’m the biggest makeup fanatic! I absolutely love trying out different products and sharing my first impressions with you all. Makeup is especially fun because you can experiment with a huge variety of looks! Throughout the years it has been so fun for me to try out seasonal trends, makeup challenges, and more. Finding makeup looks for summer can be particularly difficult here in Tennessee because it just gets so. dang. hot. It is so hard to find products that stay on your face while keeping a fresh and clean look! The other thing is, we spend a lot of time at the pool, beach, and lake. I don’t know about y’all, but showing up to a lake day with a full face of harsh makeup isn’t really my thing. That’s why the ‘no makeup’ makeup look is so great!

The goal of a ‘no makeup’ makeup look is to achieve a light glowy appearance without having to wear too much. I absolutely love a lightly bronzed, highlighted, and baked look for the summer months. I don’t know if y’all are familiar with the show Ginny & Georgia, but like Georgia said – “If they can see where your makeup ends and your face begins, you’ve done it wrong”. This is honestly the perfect mindset to have when it comes to achieving this particular look. You want it to be discreet but make your face come alive! I know I still want to feel confident in all of the beach, pool, and lake day pictures. This is a makeup look I’ve found thats perfect for achieving just that!

  1. Mascara: is the best because it’s not waterproof, but it stays on almost as well. You really have to work makeup remover/soap into your eyes to get this off. It’s perfect for summer because you can jump in the pool, lake, or ocean and not have to worry about your mascara immediately running all over your face. I also love it for hot days because it won’t smudge under your eyes or on your lids
  2. Becca eye brightener is perfect for concealing under the eyes to give you a super fresh face look 
  3. Fenty Beauty highlighter is one of my absolute faves! It really helps you achieve that natural glow look and it lasts on your face for a long time vs. other highlighters that simply brush off after short wear 
  4. Ilia Foundation Serum is the bomb! It truly looks like just your skin when you put it on. It’s super light and soft but still gives you great coverage
  5. This Too Faced bronzer is amazing for summer because it gives you that true sun-kissed look. It has a reflecting bronzing effect that illuminates the skin as well as bronzes it – giving you an extra glowy complexion
  6. I love this Ilia blush stain as it also stays on super well and gives people the illusion that you’ve been in the sun
  7. Charlotte Tilbury highlighter powder to give you extra glow 
  8. Ilia lip oil is perfect for giving your lips just enough color to stand out. It’s also super hydrating 
  9. Gimme Brow is an excellent brow product if you want a natural look. This tinted volumizing eyebrow gel looks like real hair when you put it on. This is better than a super sharp look when using a pencil if you’re looking to stick with the natural look

I hope you all enjoyed this Summer No Makeup Look! Head over to my Instagram @nashvillewifestyles to check out my IG Reel with a tutorial on this quick and easy look. I will be rocking this most of the summer, what about you?
