Let's admit it. Us women just want to play around with our makeup every now and then, defying makeup techniques to create our own style and looks.

This is what I do every chance I get for some “me time”. And since nude makeup is my favorite makeup style, here are my own must-haves, staples, and tools for my carefree "bare" look. 

Step 1: Eyebrows

For the eyebrows go au-naturelle with Etude House’s Drawing Eyebrow. Follow the natural arch of your brows and use the pencil as you would any ordinary brow product.

Step 2: Moisturizer

A dab here and there of Quickfx Tinted Moisturizer with Glutathione and Shea Butter is my go-to item if I want some sheer makeup for my usual day out.  I’ve used it for more than a year and it has been good to a busy mom like me.

Step 3: Prime

I apply Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer to dewy-fy my first layer of makeup. I put this primer just in case I change my mind middle of the day and decide to put on a thicker foundation on top of my moisturizer. This primer is available in different varieties but I like using just the classic one.

Step 4: Lips

I use Human Nature 100-percent Natural Lip Balm in Peppermint on the lips to prep it. Cools my lips too.

Next, I swipe on NYX Butter Gloss in Tiramisu as a second layer. Its glossy, buttery feel is perfect for a simple, barely there lip.

As a third layer, apply Colourpop’s Echo Park to complete the almost nude lip-effect.

Step 5: Eyelashes

Curl your eyelashes using Canmake Tokyo’s Quick Lash Curler in Black to lift the lashes.

Step 6: Oil Control

Take  your oil-control paper to blot off excess oil from face. Our pick is Happy Skin's #SkipTheFilter Skin Perfecting Super Absorbent Charcoal Blotting Sheets.
