The No Makeup Makeup by Perricone MD. Not something I usually would have gone for, as I have always preferred more coverage. But I think as I am no longer behind a makeup counter for my working days, I am starting to embrace my natural face a little bit more! Don’t get me wrong – I love putting on my big face of makeup, but day to day, when I’m at work, in the office – I don’t need my ‘face’ face on! There’s a lot of double-words going on here by the way, and no its not a typo – It’s the ‘no makeup’ makeup. And it is amazing.
Dr. Nicholas Perricone brings the science into Perricone MD’s range of No Makeup Skincare, addressing a common aging concern, which makes this suitable for all ages of skin; but particularly gorgeous for mature skin. The loss of youthful color in the skin usually occurs as we age due to a change in the balance of pigment activity. Over time, skin loses it’s inner radiance, and this innovative range is designed to restore a glow of health and reveal a radiance in the skin coming from within. When applied there is no sign of product on the surface on the skin – so a perfect option if you’re not used to wearing makeup but still want that youthful, fresher, more flawless complexion.
Perricone MD have a whole range of products to mimic the look of very natural and subtle makeup, to enhance your features. Ranging from foundation serum to lipstick, to mascara – there are lots to choose from. But don’t be afraid of the amount of products there are if you’re not a huge makeup junkie – they will maintain a natural look, even when using all of them together.
These are the three products I got my hands on and tried out for myself and definitely worth investing in;
No Foundation Foundation Serum, £45
This one is more of a treatment foundation scientifically formulated with Neuropeptides to reveal a veil of radiant health.
No Bronzer Bronzer, £29
A multi-tasking bronzer serum scientifically formulated with Vitamin C Ester to impart a veil of warmth while contouring to accentuate elegant features. Blended in with my Real Techniques Tapered Setting Brush (from FeelUnique for just £7) just under my cheek bones, around the temples, is perfect.
No Blush Blush, £29
An innovative cheek serum scientifically formulated with DMAE to shape softly rounded cheeks while imparting a healthy distribution of color. Really looks like a natural flush in the cheeks. A little goes a long way too.
All products need a little shake before use – to distribute the pigment evenly due to it’s weightless texture. They all contain an SPF 30, giving protection as well as a perfect appearance.
