Facts: I could wax poetic about my fire-engine-red matte lipstick, and I'm currently obsessing over the crystal-eye makeup trend. However, on an average weekday, I tend to gravitate toward minimal, natural-looking makeup. Think a rosy cheek with clear lip balm, or a little mascara and some neutral, semimatte eyeshadow.
When it comes to achieving this look, there are products that definitely outperform others. The key is to select products that are buildable, allowing you to choose just how dramatic you want your look to be, or formulas that are specifically designed with the no-makeup makeup trend in mind.
In the event that you need some suggestions, I rounded up six e.l.f. Cosmetics products that are perfect for creating effortless, minimal, and natural makeup looks. Check them out below.
