No-Makeup Makeup Step 11: Don't Forget Lipstick
Yes, natural-looking makeup involves lipstick. Be sure to choose one that's nude (but won't make you look washed-out or dead). Here's how to choose the best nude lipstick for your skin tone.

Lenzion blended two shades of Luxe Lip Color, $35, together to create the perfect, slightly peachy shade for my lips.

While lipstick certainly makes the look feel more polished, you could skip this step if you're pressed for time.

No-Makeup Makeup Step 14: Apply a Light Eye Shadow Over Your Lid
Lendzion applied Bobbi Brown Eye Shadow, $24, in White (a matte shade), over my lid up to the crease with a fluffy brush. This added brightness to my eyes. You'll want to choose a shade of shadow a couple shades lighter than your skin tone.

Note: This step is optional if you're pressed for time.

No-Makeup Makeup Step 15: Lightly Define Your Eyes
Next, she took Bobbi Brown Eye Shadow, $24, in Cement, a greyish-beige matte shade, and applied it lightly over my eyelid and a little heavier in my crease.

Pro tip: You could also skip this step. It adds a natural-looking contour to your eye that's really pretty, but as long as you've used concealer on your eyelid, you can get away without shadow.
