Naomi Harris proved that on-the-go, effotless beauty requires two things: a flawless complexion and a rosy-nude lipgloss.

Obviously flawless beauty was a no-brainer for supermodel, Joan Smalls. On thing is for certain: you can spruce up any drab beauty look with a subtle pop of color on the lips.

For the true beauty minimalist who doesn’t like the heaviness of foundation, opt for a CC cream or a tinted moisturizer and dust your lids with a neautral shadow with a pearl finish.

Add a little romance to your nude look by topping your lips with a matte pink color and adding some length to your lashes with a set of natural looking falsies.

A rosy-pink blush on the cheeks with a complimentary lip gloss will always look romantic and flirty. To draw attention to your eyes, line them your favorite kohl or top your lashes with a single coat of lengthening mascara.

If you’re going blonde for the summer let your hair call the shots. Keep your beauty look simple with a winged liner and a balmy-taupe lip

Naked mani’s don’t have to be boring. Dip your tips in gold glitter for a fresh take on a classic french manicure.

For the beauty girl on the go, opting to pay a little extra for individual lashes may be your best bet—no mascara needed. Just run your fingers along your lashes to fluff them up, top your lips with a soft pink lipstick and go!

Summer is right around hte corner, so glow-y skin is a must. Warm up the perimeter of your face with your favorite bronzer and highlight the bow of your lip to add dimension. Complete the look with a creamy pink-nude lipstick.

If you have naturally light eyes, use them to your advantage! To make your gorgeous peepers pop, highlight the inner corners of your eyes and dust your lids with a shadow that has a subtle shimmer. Apply a single coat of your favorite mascara and you’re good to go!

“I woke up like this” may not be a trending phrase anymore, but the look certainly is. To master that look of effortless beauty, warm up the perimeter of your face with your favorite bronzer and lightly dust your lids with a mauve-y-pink hue. To give the illusion of being ‘undone,” brush your brows upward using a clean spoolie.

We like to think that lipgloss was made for girls with full lips in mind. Tap into summer by perfecting your pout with your favorite high-shine, soft pink hue. Add a gold gloss to your lids and keep the rest of your face matte.

Top your lips with a true nude gloss that’s light, but won’t make you look ashy. Line your upper lashed line with black pencil liner (stay as close to the lash line as possible) and top your lower lashes with one coat of lengthening mascara. Don’t forget to warm up your lids and cheeks with a litle bronzer.
