I always hoped I’d grow up to be so confident and careless that I’d leave my house with nothing on my face besides a natural sun-kissed glow 😎 While that dream hasn’t exactly panned out, I’ve discovered you can go low-maintenance with your makeup and still look great using some key products. For a list of product suggestions to show off your natural glow a la the beautiful Christina Applegate, see below!

For the Base: Smashbox Compact Anti-Shine ($28) this is great for oil control. It absorbs shine leaving your face with a natural, clean look. It also contains tea tree oil, aloe, and vitamin E to fight acne and sooth your skin, if however you’re getting ready for a truly special occasion get an airbrush tan! I tried it for the first time last week when I went to Sundara ($78, full body; $30 face only) and it’s long lasting (about a week), even, and natural looking. They customize a color palette specific to your skin tone/what you’re looking for and can even highlight/shade certain areas to make you appear trimmer– just make sure you don’t sweat/shower within the first 8 hours or you’ll get a little streaky (I learned the hard way…eech!).

For your Cheeks: To bring out your natural glow NARS Blushes ($25) come in an range of translucent, natural shades, each with a subtle amount of pink to highlight your complexion…irresistible:)

More after the jump!


For your Eyes: Laura Mercier Eye Basics ($22) are cream eye shadows that evaporate to a dry finish. There are a slew of colors to complement an array of skin tones and with the semi-matte finish, they will keep your makeup looking light.

For your Lips: Bourjois Effect 3D High Shine Lip Glosses ($15.50) come in variety of shades to create a natural-looking shimmer for your lips while moisturizing and nourishing them with natural oils. Bourjois is great..one of the few lip glosses with a nice, soft brush and a gloss that doesn’t dry-up my lips :-*!
