The "No-Makeup Makeup" Summer Beauty Trend

No wonder a lightened-up makeup look has ruled the runways season after season — it has that effortless vibe everyone wants in the Summer. Avon Celebrity Makeup Artist, Kelsy Deenihan says: “To achieve the no-makeup makeup look, stick to a fresh face and neutral shades,” Kelsey goes on to say “The point of a no-makeup makeup is to enhance your natural features without adding color to make any part of the face pop.” Here’s how:

SKIN: Mix equal parts mark. Got the Goods Multi-Benefit Foundation and mark. That’s Brilliant Face & Eye Luminizer for sheer coverage with a radiant finish.

CHEEKS: For a flushed look with extra radiance, you can also blend mark. Touch & Glow Shimmer Cream Cubes in Pearly Glow over the apples of the cheeks.

SHADOW: Apply a thin veil of mark. All Time Eye Hook-up Longwear Eyeshadow in Tender Love on the lids. The neutral champagne color will catch the light and open the eyes without looking too heavy or dramatic.

LINER: If you can’t go without eyeliner, stick to a medium-brown such as the mark. No Place to Run Longwear Eye Liner in Foxy Brown. The cognac color will define the eyes without being too dark.

MASCARA: Opt for a brown mascara like the mark. Lash Act Build & Define Mascara in Brown Black. This will help keep the eyes soft instead of an edgy dark look.

LIPS: For a hint of color and lasting hydration, go for the mark. All Butt Now Lip Treat in Bare All. These mark. lip butters delivery a rich, buttery shine without a harsh chemical taste. I personally love the sweet fruity mango flavor!

“What can I say — this product helps me look younger! The color and shimmer really brightens my face. I even use a tiny bit on my eyelids. LOVE it!”

“I use this everyday as my eye shadow and blush. It looks well blended as soon as it is applied. It takes no time to apply and isn’t too “bronze” which can look fake on fair skin. It does make my skin glow without being overdone. I have been using this for over 2 years and haven’t used anything else since. I love this and get compliments on my make up all the time.”

“I love the shimmer cream cubes. I use them with a broad short-bristled thick brush and swirl the brush over the entire set, resulting in a lovely blend that goes on easily. With a small brush, I can use one of the cubes by itself when I want a little shine on lips or eye lids. Love that it’s not a powder and not a cream in a tube. Great product – have seen nothing like it anywhere else.”

“I bought this product after seeing that it won a Beauty Award from Cosmetic Executive Women, and I’m SO glad I did! I used this to highlight my face and as my eyeshadow, and the shimmer and finish were absolutely beautiful; my skin was glowing! Everyone kept asking what I was wearing. I can’t wait to share this product with friends!”

“I love this palette. It’s my go to for getting ready on those rushed mornings. I use the colors individually and combined for that very subtle and pretty glow. I’ve had mine for about 6 months and barely made a dent. I use it at least 4x a week. It’s a cream so if you use on your eyelids, primer is a must to prevent creasing.”

Comments about 

mark. Touch & Glow Shimmer Cream Cubes All Over Face Palette - Pearly Pink:

"I have been purchasing Avon for nearly 12 years and this is one of my all time favorite buys. It's a glorious creamy consistency that blends like magic. I like to use this on my eyelids, brow, cheeks and to highlight my collar bones, soooo lovely. This product leaves my skin luminous."

"I first bought this in the summer because I thought it would add a nice shimmer to my tan, but now I use it year round- That's how much I love it! I'm fair skinned, so it adds a nice color to my skin tone. I usually just apply to my cheekbones as blush, but you may also apply to your chin and forehead to add a nice shape to your face. What I have found is that I have to keep the brush I use to apply this shimmer very clean, because this is a thick cream that can clog my pores if I re-use the brush over and over. I also use my hands to apply when I'm in a hurry. BUY THIS!"

Comments about mark. Lash Act Build and Define Mascara:

"It's been a long and disappointing search for a mascara that is good for me, until now that is. This Avon mascara goes on easily, instantly thickening and giving my lashes color without clumping. What I like the most is that it works the same way for my lower lashes, which is traditionally very difficult to manage."

"Very good. Extends lashes,, doesn't clump,, separates and makes them full. Highly recommend."

Comments about mark. On the Edge Full Size Hook Up Liquid Eyeliner:

"Goes on so easily and lasts all day! I'm finally able to create a fine line, which is what I want!"

"I still love to use eyeliner even though I'm an older lady but I'm not fond of very dark colors. This is a perfect color and it slides on so easily! The brush is great and makes it really easy to make a good line. I Use Cleo as a thin line along my lashes and follow with this bronze shade in a slightly thicker line. Add a little mascara and you're good to go and it only takes about five minutes. Even though it isn't waterproof,it stays on all day till you take it off. I'm Very pleased with this product and hope they don't stop making it."

"I've tried Mark's other eyeliners when you didn't have On the Edge in stock, however I really do LIKE the On the Edge full size much much better! I like having the thin line that the brush provides. It gives a more natural look. I've been using On the Edge for years and I have never found another product that was any good. Congratulations. I'm glad you got a fuller size out."

Comments about mark. Total Kiss Up Hook Up Plumping Gloss:

"I absolutely love it. It is the perfect amount of creamy and long lasting. It has become my favorite lipgloss over other much more expensive brands that I was using before. I've been telling all my friends about it and they love it too!"

"Thanks, AVON! Again, you have come up with the ideal product for my lips! I find myself using it daily even though I am just hanging out at home. It feels so creamy and it DOES plump my lips. I like the brush instead of a sponge, too! The brush defines better."

"I love the pigment of this gloss. Under normal circumstances, I rarely wear glosses because they're just so sheer, but this one (which I bought in the shade Belle) delivers so much pigment, I'm officially addicted! As for the plumping qualities of the gloss, I didn't really notice much difference at all. But then again, I'm a girl with big lips anyway. The texture wasn't sticky or cakey, and it stayed on for quite some time. Definitely one of my new fave products!"

"I got this as a gift from my mom and I loved it. You can actually feel the plumper part of the lip gloss with a slight tingling. It lasts several hours and is easy to reapply smoothly without a sticky residue. It has never smeared on me and has a nice glossy shine without overwhelming the rest of my face."
