The dog days of summer are here making it simply too hot to do some of the things we love most, like layering on makeup. Whether you’re looking to try out a new look for the tail-end of summer or need some minimalist makeup inspo to help you beat the heat without going bare-faced, we’ve got you covered. Ahead, find some of our favorite no-makeup makeup looks from Instagram to try out before summer’s over.

Monochrome Mood

The key to mastering a no makeup makeup look is to keep things light and simple while accentuating your best features. The trick: opt for a multi-use product, like the ILIA Multi Stick to add a cohesive flush of color onto your cheeks, lips and eyes.

Dew Your Thing

If going bare-faced isn’t your thing, look to the L’Oréal Paris True Match Nude Tinted Serum. It acts like a veil for the skin, blurring away imperfections and leaving it looking dewy and glowy. The best part: it’s so lightweight, you’ll forget you’re even wearing makeup.

Ready, Set, Glow

Even if you’ve only put on concealer, the last thing you’ll want is for your makeup to slip (read: sweat) off. Keep your glow in place by spritzing some of the Dermablend Lock and Last Setting Spray onto your face.

Blushing Beat

Whether you’re wearing foundation or going au naturale, dabbing on a bit of blush instantly pulls your look together. We love the EM Cosmetics So Soft Blush in shade Lychee to create the appearance of a healthy, glowy complexion with a skin-like finish.

Sun-Proof Skin

The ultimate no-makeup makeup duo: SPF and moisturizer. Layer your favorite tinted or non-tinted moisturizer on top of a broad-spectrum sunscreen or opt for a formula that already includes both, like the La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral SPF 30 Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid.
