No mascara
As part of the no makeup makeup trend, there’s a no mascara trend on the beauty scene! If you’re like us there are days you just don’t want to bother with the stuff, are we right? 👀 The issue though, is how to look and feel polished without a couple coats of black mascara? How to still feel put together and beautiful? We have the tricks for you! These makeup ideas will have you ready in minutes, yet still feeling super pretty. Along with the following descriptions below, keep in mind two great tips to make the look more polished: still use a eyelash curler and then try a coat of clear mascara! The curler will help open up your eyes and lashes, and clear mascara adds some glossy finish (all without later having to deal with hard-to-remove black mascara!).
No mascara + lined eyes:
For 60s-esque babydoll makeup, do a bold rimmed eyeliner look without mascara, plus sugary pink lip balm. Black or dark brown eyeliner mimics the look of dark, thick lashes! Use a long-wear eyeliner or a thin application of liquid liner dotted along the lower lash line and lined along the top (use cotton swabs to blur it out).

no mascara + bronzer:
Instead of your eyes being the focus, play up a bronzy, healthy glow! Apply a shimmery creamy bronzer on your eyelids and along the top of the cheekbones. A perfect look for summer, you’ll be glowing with golden highlights!

no mascara + bold lips:
It may seem like wearing no mascara means your face won’t be finished enough for bold lipstick, but actually it works! Go ahead and wear classic red, orange or bold pink lips with your minimal eyes. The balance is amazing and it feels nicely laidback.

Play up your brows by filling them in and defining them. Make this on-trend feature the focus of your makeup by leaving the rest of the face simple, including no mascara! If you like, add brow gel to your wildly thick brows to enhance them even more.
