Writes about all things beauty, fashion, lifestyle, and entertainment. When she’s not writing, she’s probably lost in a daydream.

There’s a reason natural makeup looks never go out of style. It is the beauty version of a little black dress: simple, flattering, and suits just about anyone. And just because it is natural, does not mean it is lazy and plain. From rosy flushed cheeks to a glowing, sun-kissed finish, there are so many ways to pull off this look. These 9 natural makeup looks are easy to try and perfect for daily wear.

#1 Sun-Kissed Skin

Want that glow that looks like you just came back from a holiday? Try using bronzer on your cheeks, the bridge of your nose and a little across your forehead to add warmth. Tap highlighter on your cheekbones to make your skin look healthy and radiant all day.

#2 Soft Wing

A baby wing is a softer, gentler version of the classic cat eye. Use brown eyeliner instead of black and follow the natural curve of your lash line. It gives your eyes a lifted, pretty finish that is soft but still defined.

#3 Blurry Lips

The blurred lip trend is all about that sweet just kissed vibe. Apply a tinted lipstick to the centre of your lips and use your fingertip to smudge the edges. The finish is soft, dreamy and romantic without feeling overdone.

#4 Bare Lashes

Sometimes the best look is the simplest one. Leaving your lashes bare keeps your makeup light and chic while letting your glowing skin or lips be the focus. This no mascara style feels modern and effortless, perfect for days when you want less fuss.

#5 Luminous Eyes

A little shimmer goes a long way. Dab some on the inner corners of your eyes and the centre of your lids to instantly brighten your gaze. Add a soft highlight on the tip of your nose and Cupid’s bow for a dreamy finish.

#6 Dewy Skin Goals

Glassy, hydrated skin is always a win. Prep your base with hydrating skincare such as essence, serum or a lightweight moisturiser to keep it plump. Add a little balm highlighter on your cheekbones and nose for a glossy finish that looks like your skin is glowing from within.

#7 Flirty Flush

Blush can do more than sit on the apples of your cheeks. Sweep it across your cheeks and blend it slightly downward for a natural, rosy flush. It gives the same effect as coming out of a workout or laughing too hard with your friends, giving your cheeks a cute, lively glow.

#8 Fluffy Brows

Brows can lift your whole look. Use a strong brow gel to brush your hairs upward and outward for that full and fluffy finish. It frames your face and instantly gives you that fresh, natural beauty vibe.

#9 Faux Freckles

Cute, sun-kissed freckles never go out of style. Dot a freckle pen on your nose bridge and cheeks, focusing on the spots where the sun would naturally hit. Lightly tap them with your finger to blur and soften the effect, so they look natural instead of too perfect.
