How-to: make-up, naturally

If you don’t feel comfortable stepping out completely sans make-up, but don’t want to look like you’re wearing a face full of slap, then you’ll love this natural beauty look straight from New York Fashion Week’s rag & bone runway.
Created by Revlon’s Global Artistic Director, Gucci Westman, the look is all about enhancing your own natural beauty and is perfect for upcoming summer days spent poolside or on the beach.
Here’s how to get the look:
FACE:
Ensure you look fresh-faced by keeping things to a minimum. To create a naturally sun-kissed skin tone, Westman simply swept some Revlon New Complexion Bronzing Powder in Sun over the face, and then subtly accented the cheekbones with Revlon Powder Blush in Blushed.
EYES:
Equip yourself with a palette of natural eyeshadow colours and you’ll be able to achieve this eye look in minutes. Westman used Revlon Luxurious Color Eyeshadow in Nude Slip over the entire eyelid, before lining the lashes with Revlon Luxurious Color Eyeliner in Sueded Brown. For some added definition Westman coated the models’ lashes with Revlon GrowLuscious Mascara in Black.
LIPS:
Nude lips can still be luscious! To create the models’ soft-looking pout, Westman blended two shades of Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick (Demure and Temptress), before applying a slick of Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Peach Petal. Lips were then lightly dusted with translucent powder for a slightly matte finish.
It's happened beauties - we've reached the big 80,000 reviews! Were you our 80,000th reviewer?
Love to pamper yourself? Then this ultra indulgence is for you...
What do you think of this natural beauty look?
Do you go out without make-up or do always make sure you're fully made up before you leave the house?

I like natural looks but also like to mix in a pop of colour on the lips and or cheeks. P.S. what's with the glasses? LOL. Sometimes I go out without any make-up.

I adore natural make-up looks. I prefer it most days.
I do go out without make-up, but I always feel much nicer when I do put make-up on - usually because it makes me feel like I've actually put in effort.

It's a fab look and I love it, but I reckon it needs good bone structure and good skin to pull it off. I haven't ventured out without makeup for years - the cats and the neighbours are used to me, but I don't want to scare innocent shoppers, lol...

I have just started having a few 'no make up days ' however still use TM and dust with powder.
Mascara, and lipgloss. Love make up far too much to give it up completely for one day lol

I'm not confident yet to leave the house without makeup. For me, to start using the natural makeup look would have to start with a healthy face so that your comfortable with wearing less make up so that you wouldn't have to put a lot on in the first place.

I like to wear a natural look sometimes - when its appropriate anyway. That said, I still love trying new looks, especially for special occasions.
And yes, I do leave the house without makeup on. I don't necessarily like it if I'm having a bad skin day, and I rarely go without mascara.

I do like a natural look and if I am going to the beach or something I would never wear makeup, but other than that I like at least a little make up to go out with.

We can get away with a more natural look in the summer we seem to wear brighter clothing and especially the beautiful nail colours, which adds that extra splash of colour .

I prefer the natural look in summer and if I do want a burst of colour it's in the form of lipstick :)
