Wearing makeup and looking made up don't necessarily have to be mutually exclusive. Often, on special occasions or in everyday life, brushes are used, eyeliner is applied, mascara is applied, two shades of eyeshadow are applied... and it doesn't have to be applied thickly for makeup, or rather, a freshened look, to look good. The no-makeup look is for anyone who doesn't want to look made up – because makeup isn't always strong – makeup is what you make of it.
How to – we'll show you how to use makeup and still look topless. This is how you can achieve a natural look with a Photoshop effect for your face.

No. 1 Less is more – the foundation
For this minimalist makeup look, only a tiny amount of foundation is needed. Foundations in natural cosmetics work by increasing coverage with each layer. So, you can easily determine how opaque you want your foundation to be.
After cleansing your face, you can simply spread the LIETH Foundation on your face with your hands like a cream.
For the no-makeup look, we recommend starting with just one or two pumps. This will help minimize minor redness on your face and give your skin a more even appearance.
For those who prefer an even lighter look, we recommend using just a little TUNKAL Concealer . This miracle concealer is also suitable for small imperfections on the face or redness around the nose.
Our UND GRETEL tip: Instead of applying concealer in thick stripes or even in a thick triangle under your eyes, apply just a few dabs where you need it most and then gently pat them in with your fingers. This way, the natural color pigments blend together best thanks to the warmth of your skin and your fingers.
The result: The skin doesn't look made up at all, but simply smooth and fresh.
No. 2 Wow your brow – natural eyebrows
Eyebrows are a bit like a frame for your face. They provide contour and natural expression.
If you want to emphasize your eyebrows a little more, while still looking natural, you can use the natural colors of SPRUSSE – the Eyebrow Pencil – to draw fine, small hairs in the direction of growth.
Very important: The pencil must be freshly sharpened – this is the only way to achieve very fine lines.
Our SHARPENER is therefore a true BLESSING – the perfect companion to SPRUSSE.
Our UND GRETEL tip: Instead of a colored eyebrow gel, you can also use brown mascara.
No. 3 Fake the flush – light and fresh blush
Rosy cheeks have a truly invigorating effect on your complexion. No extra blush is needed for this. Simply apply a light pink or apricot lipstick to your cheeks and pat it in with your fingers.
If that's still too much color for you, you can also mix a tiny drop of foundation or concealer with the lipstick and then apply it to your cheeks.
This works so well because the natural color pigments can be wonderfully mixed together – so new shades can easily be created, depending on your personal taste.

No. 4 NUDE – the natural lip service
For the perfect no-makeup look, a very light shimmer or a minimal pop of color on the lips is a must. TAGAROT shades ROSE and APRICOT are perfect for lipstick.
The KNUTZEN shades NUDE SHIMMER and APRICOT SHIMMER are ideal as glosses.
But besides choosing a very subtle color, the application technique is the magic trick for a no-makeup look.
And don’t worry – it’s super easy.
Instead of applying lipstick or lip gloss directly to your lips, apply a tiny bit to your finger and dab it from the center to the sides of your lips. It doesn't have to be perfect or precise. You've created a completely natural look.
No. 5 Topless – the natural eyelash look
For purists, this applies topless. A brush is all you need—for example, the brush from the SPRUSSE eyebrow pencil.
Just as we comb our hair in the morning, our eyelashes can also be shaped a little.
For all those who want to give their eyes a little more expression: “Black is beautiful” is something you can forget right away.
Our WINT Mascara in Chestnut is ideal for this. The brown shade enhances the lashes while maintaining a maximally natural look.
The extra tip: The Photoshop finish
The ultimate and natural soft focus for the face is ILGE , the Translucent Setting Powder.
Ultra-fine particles mattify the shine in the T-zone and make the pores appear fine.
To achieve this effect, you can simply apply the colorless powder to your skin using the included puff or a brush.
A quick tip: The powder doesn't build up, meaning you can apply it as often as you like without weighing your skin down.
