No Makeup Makeup?

I am sure you have lightened up your makeup routine during these dog days of summer. I know I can't go on with a heavy coat of foundation this time of year. While Tinted Moisturizers and BB Creams are my go to face perfectors of late, I just discovered two products that are helping me with my no makeup, makeup routine.

You've probably heard of one, Perricone M.D. No Foundation Foundation, but did you know that his best selling products now has a companion in No Concealer Concealer?

Both No Foundation Foundation ($55) and No Concealer Concealer ($45) do a wonderful job at even-ing skin tone and minimizing imperfections without really adding a makeup look to the skin. The formulas are light-weight and creamy and glide on with ease. It is hard to believe that one shade fits all, but it does.  I have used it on my self-tanned skin and tested it on my daughter, who has a much darker skin tone than I, and my sister who is much more pale than me. It worked on all of us and simply made our skin look better.

Why does it work so well? Take a look at some of the ingredients and their benefits:

• Vitamin C Ester for brightening and collagen boosting
• Hyaluronic Acid to lock in moisture and minimize wrinkles over time
• Phospholipids deliver essential moisture while creating a barrier to further protect the skin from environmental stressors
• Protects against UVA and UVB damage with a non-chemical, mineral based SPF 35
• Three different Neuropeptides to address fine lines, firmness and smoothness
• Microcirculatory agents that help treat dark circles so they are less visible over time

Do you like a no makeup makeup look in the summer? It's also perfect for lazy weekends.

intriguing. I like a lot of his skincare products and never heard of these.

I wish it were just called tinted moisturizer because that's what it is. No need to trick us with the names...

I can never get the no makeup look right. I just wear too much!

Amber - I wouldn't call the No Makeup a tinted moisturizer. I most definitely still need my moisturizer and the color is much less than a tinted moisturizer as well. This is really more like a BB cream in how it looks on the skin, but it is missing many of those elements too.

I hear you Farrington! I often start putting on makeup thinking I will do a natural look and it turns into full out glam somehow.

THe no concealer concealer is my go-to. I don;t really have dark circles ot anything and I really just like to lighten and more even out the are under my eyes and a bit of the redness around my nose to be helped a small amount too. I really like this. I use it everyday and then just a bit of loose powder and my skin looks like I am wearing no makeup.

I really should try the no makeup makeup too, come to think of it, but i don't think i'd need it that much adn my method works well for me now.
