We’ve all had those mornings where we want to look put-together and awake, but the thought of a full face of foundation feels like… a lot.

Lately, I’ve been leaning hard into the "no-makeup" makeup look. It’s all about skin that looks like skin, a healthy flush, and just enough definition to make you feel like your best self. If you want to shorten your morning routine while still looking fresh and glowy, these are the five products I’m currently obsessed with.

1. Prep Your Skin: Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer

The secret to makeup that looks like skin is making sure it actually stays on your skin. This primer is a cult favorite for a reason. It has this unique grippy texture that locks everything in place, but because it’s packed with hyaluronic acid and agave extract, it keeps your face hydrated and plump all day. It’s the perfect base for a dewy finish.

2. "Filter in a Bottle": Saie Glowy Super Gel

If I could only use one product for the rest of my life, it might be this. The Saie Glowy Super Gel is pure magic. You can wear it under foundation, but for a true "no makeup" look, I love wearing it alone or mixing it with a tinted moisturizer or sunscreen. It's packed with skincare ingredients like Vitamin C and squalane oil, too, so it will hydrate your skin while adding glow!

3. Blush & More: Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek Cream Blush

I’m a huge fan of cream products because they melt into the skin so much better than powders, and this Milk Makeup stick is the perfect cream blush AND can be used on lips and eyelids. My favorite shade is called Werk, and it creates the most gorgeous dusty rose flush that looks totally natural. Just dab it on your cheeks, blend with your fingers, and swipe a little on your lips for a cute & cohesive look.

4. Brows That Stay Put: Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel

Even on my most minimal days, I have to do my brows. It just frames your face! Anastasia Beverly Hills makes the absolute best brow gels, and I recommend this clear one because it's natural but still makes a huge difference in your overall look. It holds your brows in place without feeling crunchy or looking flaky - I don't know how Anastasia did it, but somehow she found the magic formula!

5. The Perfect Pout: Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump

Finish everything off with this lip product that feels like a balm but looks like a gloss. The Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump is incredibly hydrating and softens your lips with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and Vitamin E. It’s not sticky at all, and it adds just the right hint of tint and shine to pull your whole effortless look together. It has a slight plumping effect too!

All these products will probably take you 10 minutes or less to apply, and you'll look extra gorgeous and glowy for at least the next 10 hours! I hope you try them out!
