There are some days when we're feeling pretty extra and want blue eyeshadow, neon lipstick and all the glitter. (Not necessarily at the same time.) Then there are other days where we're feeling more low-key and want to look like ourselves — just a little enhanced. That's when we strive for a natural makeup look.
In some ways, choosing products for a natural beauty look can be more challenging than for a bold look. With less-is-more makeup, the finish has to be seamless and flattering, the enhancement subtle. It's about looking like the best version of yourself. Read on for some of the best new natural-finish products to try now.

This nontoxic beauty brand is known for flattering cream luminizers, but if powder is more your thing, you'll love the latest version. This mineral powder formula is creamy and nondrying, and all three shades leave skin looking lit from within.
Brows can make or break any makeup look. Beautycounter has launched a clear version of its bestselling brow gel for tamed — but not #onfleek — eyebrows. The product offers just enough light hold that won't flake or make it feel like you can't move your face.
Glossier's light coverage tint hits the sweet spot between bare-faced and makeup. The breathable formula evens out skin without looking like makeup. Freckles and dewiness are still present and skin still looks like skin. The product was reformulated in June 2018 and the range expanded to 12 shades in January 2019 so we're counting it as a newbie.
This vegan concealer offers buildable medium coverage, but chances of a cake-face situation are low. The hybrid serum formula delivers skin care benefits and ensures an imperceptible finish. Stabilized vitamin C aids in brightening raccoon eyes while mastic (a tree resin from Greek islands) refines and mattifies skin throughout the day.
