5 Ways To Wear Makeup Without Mascara

1. Bold red lip

Skip the statement eye and let your lips take center stage by painting your pout with a vibrant red lipstick. If you have a cooler skin tone, we suggest opting for a true blue-red. Richer berry tones and burgundies, meanwhile, flatter warm skin tones beautifully.

2. Pastel eyeshadow

For a high-fashion, editorial makeup look that takes very little effort to pull off, swap your nude eyeshadow for a vibrant pastel hue. Pale greens, light blues, lavenders, and baby pinks all work well here—just be sure to keep the rest of your makeup relatively minimal to ensure your no-mascara eye makeup look pops.

3. Bold blush

Sweeping a bright, pigmented blush onto your cheeks is a great way to spice up an otherwise low-key makeup look. Make sure to pick a hue that complements your skin tone, and swipe it from your cheekbones up toward your temples for a fresh-faced flush.

4. Glittery lids

If you want to keep the focus on your eyes, glittery eyeshadow will ensure you stand out (in the best possible way). To create this party-ready look, use a shimmery cream eyeshadow, and color your lids from the lash line to the brow bone. Then, pat a glittery eyeshadow onto the center of your lids for an extra luxe finish. Trust us—this sparkly no-mascara look is anything but bland.

5. Graphic eyeliner

A little bit of colorful eyeliner can go a long way in making your eyes pop. Plus, there’s no right or wrong way to create a graphic liner look, so you have plenty of wiggle room to explore your creativity. Just grab a colorful liner (or several) and draw graphic shapes along your lash line or on your lids to create a bold look, no mascara required.
