The 'no makeup' makeup look

Let's face it, when we're having a good skin day we don't always want to put on a whole face of makeup, we want to look natural, yet accentuate  our features. Whenever I have one of these days I focus on two things: face definition and eyes. My face shape isn't going to change, even if I'm having a good skin day, so I always like to do a slight contour to accentuate my cheek bones. Using the Clarins Bronzing Duo gives a more natural contour because it's a sutble brown unlike the darker Nars Laguna. You even have the added benefit of using the lighter bronze shade as an all over lid colour and the darker brown for the contour. Besides defined cheek bones, the only other thing I aim to do for a 'no makeup' look is add mascara after curling my lashes. This helps to open up the eyes, drawing attention to what I believe is the best feature of my face--the eyes are the window to the soul after all. And VOILA, with just three products you have a complete face of makeup without really using makeup at all. You still have the definition and accentuation you want without the cakeiness or heaviness of a lot of makeup.
