How to Look Great Without Makeup

Maybe you don't like wearing make up because you can't stand a lot of fuss. Or maybe foundation clogs your super-sensitive pores and lipstick dries out your lips. The good news is you don't need lots of expensive little tubes and powders to look amazing. You can look gorgeous and wear no make up--the secret is making sure you don't neglect other parts of your beauty routine.

Instructions

1. Start with a clear, soft complexion. If you're going to skip foundation and concealer, you have to make sure you have nothing to conceal. So exercise, drink plenty of water and wash your face with a dermatologist-recommended cleanser.

2. Moisturize daily. If your skin is soft and dewy, you can skip foundation.

3. Get some sun. You can do this naturally or use a sunless tanner. This way you'll avoid looking pale or washed out, since you're not relying on blush or bronzer.

4. Get plenty of sleep every night. If you're well-rested, you won't need undereye concealer or mascara to give yourself that fresh, wide-eyed look.

5. Make out with your boyfriend for sexy, swollen lips, flushed cheeks and shining eyes. There's nothing like a little lust to give you the kind of makeover even Cover Girl can't acheive.
