7 Ways to Nail the Natural Makeup Look

Filed Under > Beauty & Tutorials

Especially in the summertime, I find myself striving for a natural makeup look. I love how having a sun-kissed glow gives me the confidence to wear a little less makeup, while still feeling good in my own skin.  Whenever I have that sun-kissed glow, I’m all too happy to turn my back on powder and foundation in favor of light, creamy alternatives.  My beauty arsenal currently includes a tinted foundation that effortlessly blends (while letting my freckles show), and a creamy multi-purpose highlighter and blush that both glide on like a dream. In the slideshow above, check out seven easy ways to nail the natural makeup look, with product recommendations from MKR’s vanity and mine.  Cheers, Kat

P.S. And if you’re like me, a brush-up on the tools and how often to clean them is always helpful. I know I could always be better about that!
