Gorgeous spring looks, no makeup brushes required

Easy Eye Glitter
Once you've achieved an ace base, a dab of shimmering silver glitter on the inner corners of the eyes is all that's needed to create an ethereal look. We like the Make Up For Ever Glitters, $15, for their megawatt sparkle.

Warm Neutrals
It's possible to do a full makeup look using just your fingers. Dab coordinating rosy neutrals on the eyes and lips to recreate the romantic look at the Cynthia Rowley Spring 2018 show. Just make sure to use clean fingers so there's no mixing of the eye and lip colors. The Make Up For Ever 12 Flash Color Case, $99, can be applied to all features and contains deeper colors to smoke out the look.

Bright Blue Eyes
When applying electric eyeshadows, go bold or don't bother. Take a cue from the House of Holland show and sweep an arc of opaque turquoise shadow, like NYX Vivid Brights Creme Colour, $10, from the lid to just under the brow bone. Choose a coordinating eye pencil to rim the bottom lashes for a precise finish (it's not cheating) or bring the eyeshadow down with the little finger for a diffused look.

Soft-Focus Lips
This soft-focus lip look is best achieved using fingers to apply lipstick in layers, focusing on the center of lips with a true-red lipstick, like Paul & Joe Beaute Lipstick CS - Spring 2018, $20. It looks like you just sucked on an ice pop, in the prettiest way.

Nude Makeup Look
The muted pumpkin color scheme offers a flattering nude makeup look for the whole face. Stipple Nars The Multiple, $39, on eyes, cheeks and lips with fingers and blend for a natural look.
