Minimal, matte makeup with light contouring is a fresh alternative to spring's usual shimmery, luminescent makeup. And although this is a "no-makeup" look, it (spoiler alert) actually requires a bit of makeup -- perfect for a casual date night watching a flick at home.
Prep your skin by smoothing primer over your whole face. Using Sonia Kashuk Undetectable Foundation Stick (inset) in the shade closest to your skin tone, draw five lines: one on each of your cheeks as well as your nose, forehead and chin. Blend the foundation over your face with your fingers, concentrating on areas of redness. Apply concealer where needed using a small concealer brush or fingertips. Set the makeup by dusting a translucent powder all over the face.

Get a bold, defined brow by brushing on a tinted brow gel. Then, prep your upper eyelid with eye shadow primer.
Contour your face by lightly sweeping a contouring powder or bronzer in the shape of a "3": starting at the temples, down the hollows of the cheekbones, and down the jawline. Also dust some powder down the sides and tip of the nose.
Using Sonia Kashuk Eye Couture Eye Palette (inset) in Eye on Neutral Matte, dust shade four, a warm, reddish beige, all over the lid using a flat shadow brush. Add depth to your eye by brushing shade six, a medium neutral brown, into the crease with a contour brush.

Create a lush-looking lash line by tightlining with a flat eyeliner brush and shade nine, a chocolate brown, in the palette. Lift up your eyelid and apply the pigment to the upper waterline, as close to the lashes as possible. Get bigger, brighter-looking eyes by applying a flesh-tone eyeliner pencil to your lower waterline.
