Tackling the ‘no makeup’ trend . . .
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that I’ve had to minimize my beauty routine since Mary Jane’s arrival. This means my arsenal of products really has to pack a punch. Thankfully, Perricone MD sent along their No Makeup Instant Blur for me to try. It’s an all-in-one wonder: makeup primer + complexion corrector. And after a week of everyday use, you can definitely say that I’m a fan.
I’ve never really been one to carry around a compact, but I’ve found myself reaching for it a couple times each day. I especially like applying a thin layer in the morning before heading out to run errands. It instantly adds moisture to my skin (without feeling sticky!), and the ample coverage even makes me feel confident enough to wear it on it’s own. With very little time dedicated to myself, this is a BIG deal.
When I do have time to finish putting on my face, the No Makeup Instant Blur compact acts as the perfect base layer for my ‘no makeup’ look. It creates a smooth foundation that minimizes imperfections like blemishes and extra dark circles. I also like the staying power it gives my makeup–I don’t have to worry about blush rubbing off over time or the heat/humidity causing my makeup to melt. Is there anything worse than dripping foundation? I think not!
For my ‘no makeup’ look, I apply the lightweight formula and follow up with concealer (only in my problem areas). I’ve found that applying a small amount of concealer under my eyes really brightens up my entire face. Next, I’ll add blush, mascara and a quick dab of brow powder to play up my eyebrows. Lipstick comes last, and I like to stick with a matte gloss that is a couple shades darker than my natural lip tone. There’s really no need to get fancy. In the end, your fresh-faced look should feel effortless.

You are so pretty! I love these photos! And this make up sounds great! My look is the no make up make up look! haha!
I have never even heard of this brand. I used to wear makeup all the time, but then I started getting very conscious about what I put on my skin, and I guess I’m on the “no makeup” bandwagon now, cause I just never wear makeup anymore. My skin looks and feels better, getting ready is faster, and I have gotten used to my natural appearance (which I needed). I would like to rebuild a collection of products for occasional times, so this is definitely going on my list of possibilities because it sounds awesome.
You look great! Sounds like a good product.
I’m obsessed with the ‘no makeup’ trend!! It’s amazing! And SO easy=)
Also, love your dress and your slides too
You look beautiful! I never would have guessed you had that base layer on–it looks so natural!!
Oooo… this sounds GREAT, especially for moms! I’m going to have to try it out!
I love the look of natural/minimal makeup! I worry that sometimes my face looks too caked on and not natural enough when I hear highlighter, concealer, etc. I love the idea of wearing something more simple, however!
