No-Makeup Makeup Step 7: Get Bronzed
There's a special technique to applying natural-looking bronzer, as demonstrated by Lendzion. Apply it using a fluffy brush, starting at your neck and working your way up. Be sure to dust a bit along your jawline, under your cheekbones and across your forehead. She combined the Retouching Powder in Brown and Rose to customize a warm -- but matte -- glow.

No-Makeup Makeup Step 8: Add a Little Shimmer
Before applying blush, Lenzion swept Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick, $47, a combination of different shades of shimmery powder, over the apples of my cheeks. This provided a glowy base for the blush, and also added extra sheen to my cheekbones.

No-Makeup Makeup Step 9: Apply Blush to the Apples of Your Cheeks
Lenzion applied a nude-pink shade of blush along the apples of my cheeks to add a hint of color. If you add too much blush, don't despair: There's an easy fix. Simply use your foundation brush to blur out the edges, Lendzion advises.

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.
