If there's one trend that never goes out of style, it's the "no
makeup" makeup look. That effortless, fresh-faced glow that says, "I
woke up like this."
Recently I’ve been using some products from Perricone
MD’s No Makeup collection which has taken my minimalist
beauty routine to a whole new level. From the brand-new No Makeup lip oils to
their blush balm, mascara, highlighter, and Instant Blur Priming Moisturiser.
No Makeup Lip Oils
Let’s kick things off with the star of the show—Perricone MD’s new No Makeup Lip Oils (£30.00). These beauties have been a total game-changer in my lip care routine.
What They Claim:
- Hydration meets tint for the perfect balance of moisture and colour.
- Nourishing ingredients like peptides, hyaluronic acid and Pomegranate seed for soft, supple lips which helps improve loss of lip volume
- Natural tint that enhances your lips' natural colour.
My Experience:
The new No Makeup Lip Oils are my product of the moment.
I’m not a lipstick fan so these are a perfect blend of a lip balm, gloss, and
tint all in one. The formula is incredibly lightweight, yet it gives my lips a
beautiful, healthy sheen without feeling sticky or heavy. They come in 6 juicy
shades, Lychee, Pink Grapefruit, Plum, Raspberry, Guava and Pomegranate, and
each one adds a subtle wash of colour that enhances my natural lip tone—ideal
for those “barely there” makeup days.
What really sets these lip oils apart is the hydration factor. My lips feel soft and nourished all day long, and I love how the colour adapts to my natural lip shade, giving me a cute tint that last all day.
How to Use:
Simply swipe across your lips for a hint of colour and
hydration. You can layer it on for a more intense tint or keep it sheer for
that natural glow. Pro tip: dab a little on your cheeks for a dewy,
monochromatic look!
No Makeup Blush Balm
Next up, let’s talk about the No
Makeup Blush Balm (£33.00) —a must-have for anyone looking to
achieve a youthful, radiant complexion.
What It Claims:
- Sheer, buildable colour that mimics a natural flush.
- Creamy, lightweight formula that blends effortlessly into the skin.
- Hydrating and brightening ingredients for a healthy glow.
My Experience:
The texture is creamy and blends like a dream, giving my
cheeks a natural, rosy glow. I love how buildable the colour is—you can keep it
subtle or layer it for more impact without ever looking overdone.
The formula is enriched with skin-loving ingredients, so it
feels more like skincare than makeup. My cheeks feel hydrated and look radiant
all day long. It’s also incredibly long-lasting, which is a win for those busy
days when touch-ups aren’t an option.
How to Use:
Dab a small amount onto the apples of your cheeks and blend
out with your fingers or a brush. It’s also great for adding a touch of colour
to your lips or eyelids for a coordinated look.
No Makeup Mascara
No "no makeup" look is complete without fluttery
lashes, and the No Makeup Mascara delivers just that.
What It Claims:
- 2
in 1 formula that nourishes lashes while adding
length and definition.
- Natural,
feathery finish for soft, fluttery lashes.
- Lash-enhancing
ingredients for healthier, fuller lashes over
time.
My Experience:
The No
Makeup Mascara (£30.00) gives my lashes that perfect lift and
separation without any clumping. It’s ideal for achieving a natural, wide-eyed
look that still packs a punch. I love how it enhances my lashes without making
them look overdone—it’s all about subtle definition and a soft, fluttery
finish.
The revolutionary dual-faced, root-to-tip brush and
fine-tooth comb ensure precise application and what’s more, the nourishing
formula means my lashes feel healthier with each use. It’s become my go-to for
those days when I want my eyes to pop without looking too made up.
How to Use:
Apply a coat or two to your lashes, wiggling the wand from
root to tip use the comb side for definition and the thicker side for volume.
For extra definition, use a lash curler beforehand.
No Makeup Highlighter
For that lit-from-within glow, the No
Makeup Highlighter (£33.00) is a must.
What It Claims:
- Subtle, radiant finish that enhances your natural complexion.
- Liquid formula that blends seamlessly into the skin.
- Infused with skincare benefits for a healthy, luminous glow.
My Experience:
This Highlighter is pure magic in a bottle. It gives my
skin that perfect, dewy sheen that catches the light in all the right places.
It’s not glittery or overpowering—just a soft, radiant glow that looks
incredibly natural.
I love how easy it is to blend, whether I’m using my
fingers or a brush. It’s perfect for highlighting the high points of your
face—cheekbones, brow bones, the bridge of your nose and just above the cupids
bow.
How to Use:
Apply a small amount to the high points of your face and
blend well. It’s also lovely mixed into your foundation or moisturiser for an
all-over glow.
No Makeup Instant Blur Priming Moisturiser
Last but definitely not least, let’s talk about the No
Makeup Instant Blur Priming Moisturiser (£48.00) —your secret weapon
for a flawless complexion.
What It Claims:
- Blurring effect to smooth out imperfections and minimize pores.
- Hydrating formula that preps the skin for makeup.
- Lightweight, breathable texture that keeps your skin looking fresh all day.
My Experience:
This Primer is a lifesaver for those days when my skin
needs a little extra help. It blurs out imperfections, smooths my skin, and
creates the perfect canvas for makeup. Even on (actual) no-makeup days, it
leaves my skin looking fresh and radiant.
The moisturizing formula keeps my skin hydrated without
feeling greasy, and I’ve noticed that my makeup lasts longer when I use this
primer. It’s become an essential step in my routine, especially when I want my
skin to look its best with minimal effort.
How to Use:
Apply a small amount to clean, moisturised skin before
makeup. It’s also perfect on its own for a smooth, natural look.
