The “no makeup” look is all about smooth, seamless skin, and a primer will help you create just that. Jane Iredale’s Smooth Affair Illuminating Glow Face Primer gives you a glowing canvas to complete the rest of your makeup look. It visibly reduces the appearances of your pores and fine lines while hydrating your skin and locking-in its moisture with hyaluronic acid. Morgan turns to this primer and its subtle pearl finish with her bridal guests to help their makeup last all throughout their special day.
How to use: Massage a pea-sized amount to your face and neck with your fingers until it’s absorbed.

Foundation — HydroPure Tinted Serum
Instead of a full-coverage foundation or BB cream for this natural, dewy makeup look, Morgan prefers Jane Iredale’s HydroPure Tinted Serum. This serum gives your complexion a hint of a tint while still evening out your skin tone. Its sheer finish also has hyaluronic acid to help plump, soothe, and blur lines for a youthful appearance.
How to use: dispense 1-2 pumps and mix with fingers to combine pigment and serum. Apply evenly to your face and neck.
If you’re looking for more coverage to feel your best, Jane Iredale’s PurePressed Base Mineral Foundation will also give you the natural look this makeup trend is highlighting. This foundation has SPF 20 or 15 (depending on its shade) to protect your skin from the sun’s rays that not only cause skin cancer but also discoloration, wrinkles and fine lines over time. Morgan recommends applying this mineral foundation with downward strokes to lay down the hairs on your face for a second-skin-like finish.
How to use: Apply with a brush using downward strokes to blend well.

Concealer — Active Light Under-Eye Concealer
Choosing a lightweight concealer can hide dark circles and blemishes while letting your natural beauty shine through this minimalist makeup style. Jane Iredale’s Active Light Under-Eye Concealer has a brush applicator to easily fit the inner corner of your eyes. This concealer nourishes, brightens and conceals your dark circles and under-eye puffiness without any caking or creasing. Morgan recommends using your ring fingers to blend this concealer for a lighter coverage with a skin-like finish.
How to use: Apply to blemishes and dark under-eye areas after your foundation to conceal and highlight. Blend with a brush or your finger.
4. Blush — Glow Time Blush Stick
Mimic this makeup look’s sweet, genuine flush with Jane Iredale’s Glow Time Blush Stick. This creamy blush comes in eight flattering shades to complement many skin tones. Its stick form makes application a breeze — simply glide its hydrating, buildable formula onto your cheeks and blend with a brush or your fingers for a seamless, youthful finish. Morgan recommends a cream over a powder blush to achieve this makeup look’s lightweight, airbrushed look.
How to use: Swipe on the apples of your cheeks and blend with a brush or your fingers.
5. Highlight — Glow Time Highlighter Stick
Adding a creamy highlighter to your cheekbones gives you this makeup look’s signature dewy glow. Jane Iredale’s Glow Time Highlighter Stick melts right into your skin for a soft, glossy look. This buildable highlighter comes in three shades — a pearlescent pink, iridescent champagne and golden sheen — to match beautifully with a multitude of skin tones.
How to use: Swipe on to the high points of your face to illuminate and blend with your fingertips.
6. Brows — PureBrow Precision Pencil & Brow Gel
Rather than heavily shaping your brows, embrace their natural beauty for this makeup look. If you have sparse brows, Jane Iredale’s PureBrow Precision Pencil can create realistic, hairlike strokes to define your brows and enhance their shape. Follow with the PureBrow Brow Gel to tame any rogue hairs by brushing them up into place for a soft, feathered appearance.
How to use: Swipe light, short strokes with the PureBrow Precision Pencil to define, fill gaps, and balance asymmetrical brows. Follow with the PureBrow Brow Gel to brush and hold brows into place.
Skip the falsies for this natural makeup look. Instead, opt for Jane Iredale’s Longest Lash Thickening and Lengthening Mascara for long, fluffy lashes. This mascara’s jumbo-sized brush enhances your eyes with separated lashes that aren’t heavy or clumpy.
How to use: Start at the base of your lashes and move toward the tips, rocking back and forth until lashes are covered.
Personalize your makeup look with a lip color tailored to your skin tone. Jane Iredale’s Just Kissed Lip and Cheek Stain is pH-activated, meaning it reacts to your body’s natural chemistry to deliver a unique rosy hue. This stain delivers a long-lasting touch of color while also nourishing your lips with its olive oil and rose flower wax.
How to use: Apply directly to your lips. The color will evolve in seconds in response to changes in pH.

Setting Spray — Balance Hydration Spray
Complete your “no makeup” makeup look with Jane Iredale’s Balance Hydration Spray for a lasting dewy complexion. This orange- and grapefruit-scented spritz keeps oily skin at bay while combating acne-causing bacteria. If you’ve opted to use a mineral foundation, Morgan also recommends this spray to set your powder-based makeup for a smooth, skin-like finish.
How to use: Lightly spray over your face at an arm’s length.
