GONE were the days of cake-on makeup look.

Here are 10 tips for wearing minimal makeup or no makeup at all to get that natural glow you’re after.

* Prepare your skin. Always wash your face with a natural cleanser. A cleansed face is like a great canvas.

* Moisturize. Even if you’re applying the tiniest amount of concealer or foundation it’s important that you apply a hydrating moisturizer. Buy a moisturizer with vitamin C.

This will visibly brightens skin and reduces the signs of aging.

* Clean up your brows. A brow that is cleaned up and shaped perfectly can help frame your face. If your brows need a little filling use gentle strokes using a pencil, powder, or cream to help define your brows. Less is more these days, and simple, but defined brows are a must in minimal makeup looks.

* Dab a little concealer or foundation. Most of the time we really don’t need to cover our entire face with foundation. Instead use a concealer or foundation to dab on the blemished spots. Simply pat with your finger to blend.

* Eat carrots for a natural tan. Carrots have always been known for changing skin color. Don’t worry, carrots won’t turn your skin into orange. High levels of carotenoids will give you that perfect, sun-kissed glow that everyone is after. In addition, they are loaded with vitamin A which helps improve your eyesight and protect your skin from sun damage.

* Get enough beauty sleep. Regardless of whether you wear makeup or not there is no substitution for a good night’s sleep. Because your body repairs at night it’s vital that you get at least 6-8 hours of quality sleep. You need to recharge just like you recharge your phone.
