Barely-there makeup is the freshest runway trend

In the past, designers wouldn’t have dreamed of sending a model down the runway bare-faced. But as streamlined designs have been gaining popularity season after season, so, too, has a barely-there makeup palette.

From completely naked faces to others hardly touched, it was a nude awakening at the fall 2014 shows.

At Jil Sander, makeup artist Pat McGrath used her sleight of hand to create a fresh look where groomed brows and clear balmed lips made a surprising statement.

Naturally the au naturel look is a breeze to pull off. Sweep on a simple tinted moisturizer, a swoosh of mascara and a fab of blush. Or go with nothing at all — if you dare.
