Bright-red lipstick, party brows, and glitter eyeshadow may be having a moment on IG, but IRL and on red carpets natural makeup still reign supreme. Natural makeup looks—like a wash of cream blush on cheeks or a swipe of neutral color on lips—are timeless, look gorge for any occasion, and are basically as reliable as your go-to LBD. Plus, you don't need a bunch of trendy makeup products on hand to DIY natural makeup looks. The basics, like a lightweight foundation, neutral eyeshadow palette, black or brown eyeliner, and mascara, are really all you need to nail a natural makeup look at home.

Keep scrolling for some major no makeup-makeup inspo—plus the best makeup products to recreate the looks—from our favorite celebs, including Selena Gomez, and Hailey Bieber, JLo, and more.

1

Hilary Duff's Natural Makeup Look

Duff is practically the queen of the no-makeup-makeup look. Ever since her Lizzie McGuire days, she’s been known to rock neutral shades that accentuate her natural features. In the past, she has collaborated with Nudestix, who makes great multi-sticks that you can use on your eyes, cheeks, and lips for a monochromatic nude look like this one.

Natural Makeup Inspo: Ruby Campbell

Sometimes all it takes is super luminous skin to look like you have your life together. Without layering on tons of foundation, focus on skin care first. An illuminating primer like Kosas Glow IV works great as a base to even out your skin tone—plus it's packed with skin-loving ingredients like peptides and amino acids to boost your glow too.

Dua Lipa's No-Makeup Makeup Look

Dua Lipa is known for some of her more intense, bold makeup looks, but she looks just as gorge in a more stripped back look IMO. Here, she’s pictured with what appears to be a tinted moisturizer or lightweight foundation, simple cat eye, and a subtle flush on her cheeks and lips.

Amber Valletta's Neutral Makeup Look

Makeup artist Romy Soleimani created this simple yet stunning look to enhance super model Amber Valletta's already chiseled features. Tawny hues such as Pixi On-The-Glow Blush with a matching smudged out eyeliner or shadow stick like Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick Duo make her green eyes pop.

Neutral Makeup on Emrata

Emrata’s brushed up brows, pillowy lips, and sunkissed skin take center stage in this pared back look. To recreate the look of a day in the sun without actually exposing your skin to harmful UV rays, use a fluffy makeup brush to sweep blush across your cheeks and nose in a “w” shape.

Lindsay Lohan's Matching Natural Makeup

In this image, captured “Happy Monday,” Lindsay Lohan appears well-rested and ready to take on the week thanks to a sheer wash of matching coral color on her cheeks and lips.

Lori Harvey's Sultry Natural Makeup

Natural makeup doesn't have to be boring, and Lori Harvey’s look is proof. It's definitely a bit more glam, but still doesn’t feel too over the top. It’s all about the major glow here, thanks to a glossy lid and lip combo and dewy decollete.

💫 Recreate it with: Gucci Luminous Face & Lip Gloss

8

Natural Eye Makeup: Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson is a natural makeup girly through and through, and I'm obsessed with this shot of her rocking a natural eye makeup look. Makeup artist Quinn Murphy did a little bit of a smokey eye for her here, but the shadows aren't too dark or heavy so it still reads as low-key.

Olivia Ponton's Monochrome Makeup

This monochrome look on Olivia Ponton can be done in under five minutes with just a few products. Snag her laminated brow vibe with clear brow gel and then use swipe a multipurpose cream color in a ‘90s-style brown shade on your cheeks and lips

Natural Makeup Inspo: Eva Mendes

Eva’s ultra-smooth skin can be achieved with the help of a blurring primer that smooths rough texture and minimizes pores and fine lines. Use it as a base under a lightweight foundation and then throw on your fave mascara and lip balm and you’re good to go.

11

Brianne Howey's Natural Makeup

Makeup artist Amber D used Pat McGrath’s Moonlit Seduction Palette to create this natural, yet polished look on Ginny and Georgia’s Brianne Howey. To DIY, don't forget to add a touch of eyeliner, mascara, and a neutral lipstick to complete the look.

💫 Recreate it with: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Nude Dury

12

Jessica Biel's Ultra Glowy Natural Makeup

Mary Camden is all grown up, yet somehow her skin hasn’t aged a day. The secret to keeping things smooth and cake-free is to have a lighthand with your makeup. Skip foundation entirely and opt for a skin tint and sheer concealer to even out your skin tone and create the look of a healthy glow.

Jenna Ortega's Natural Makeup Look

It’s not all about goth and grunge for Wednesday’s Jenna Ortega. Makeup artist Vincent Oquendo kept her skin looking fresh and brought a *hint* of drama to the eyes with touch of black eyeliner and sheer shimmery shadow.

💫 Recreate it with: Hourglass Scattered Light Glitter Eyeshadow in Smoke

Saniyya Sidney's Peachy Natural Makeup

I'm obsessed with the hint of peachy color on Saniyya's cheeks and lips, it’s just so fresh and pretty for the spring and summer seasons. Shoutout to makeup artist Mélanie Inglessis who used Armani Beauty products to create this stunnig natural look.

💫 Recreate it with: Neo Nude Color Melting Cream Blush in 30 Warm Coral

15

Lana Condor's Light Pink Lip Look

Frosted pink lip gloss—as seen on Lana Condor by makeup artist Clarissa Luna—is the ideal mix of low-key and unexpected, don't you think? The shimmery pink eyeshadow is the perfect cherry on top too.

Natural Makeup Look Inspo: Ana de Armas

Red carpet glam can still look natural. Just look at Ana de Armas' makeup look here—it's pretty minimalist, except for a sheer swipe of shimmery gray shadow on her lids to go with her metallic gown, which pulls the whole thing together in a natural way.

💫 Recreate it with: Julep Eyeshadow 101 Creme to Powder Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick

This Natural Makeup Look on Whitney Peak

Whitney Peak’s mascara-free look is giving I-woke-up-like-this, and I'm totally here for it. A little bit of stain on the lips and cheeks are all you need to perk up your face and recreate this carefree makeup vibe.

💫 Recreate it with: Benefit Benetint Lip and Cheek Stain

18

Hailey Bieber's Natural Makeup Look

If Hailey’s known for one thing (other than her glazed donut nails) it’s her naturally luminous skin. To DIY, use an ultra-rich face moisturizer (hydration = the key for plump, dewy skin) as your base and then layer a liquid foundation on top.

💫 Recreate it with: Rhode Barrier Restore Cream

Avani's Natural Makeup Vibe

Sometimes when the look is all about the hair—as it is with this retro flippy number—it only makes sense to go simple with the makeup. Avani’s sultry brown-lined eyes are accentuated with full lashes and a peachy pout.

💫 Recreate it with: Makeup by Mario Moistureglow Plumping Lip Color in Baby Coral

Lucy Hale's Natural Makeup with Bold Lashes

Hale’s fresh-faced look is all about the lashes. When you’re doing natural makeup, it can help to pick one feature to focus on, so if you’re doing eyes, think about using a lash curler, primer, and mascara to really get that doe-eyed effect.

💫 Recreate it with: Photo Finish Extension Nourishing Lash Primer
