Barely There FOTD

I'm sure I'm not alone in just wanting a fresh, clean look some days. No full coverage foundation, no eyeshadow, gentle lips etc?

The one thing I can't go without, though, is black on my waterline and tightline. I feel SO naked without it. I think we're all like that, aren't we? Even in a 'minimal' face there's always one thing that we can't go without. Mine is eyeliner. What's yours?



Products Used
:: Topshop Skin Tint in Fair (post coming soon!)
:: Fero Cosmetics light reflecting concealer
:: ELF Studio eyebrow kit in Light
:: Bourjois black kohl
:: MUFE Smoky Lash mascara (really doesn't do a lot for me)
:: Topshop cream blush in Flush
:: Illamasqua powder blush in Rumour (just for a bit of colour)
:: Sleek Pout Polish in Powder Pink



What does your 'barely there' face consist of?

  1. Ah I understand the eyeliner thing! I have discovered in photos i look like I have no eyes if I don't have eyeliner - ever since then I have been super aware of it.

  2. Mine is definitely eyeliner too, my makeup style has changed loads over the years but the one thing I've always felt was necessary was the eyeliner!
    This may be a stupid question but what is a tightline? I'm assuming it's the opposite to the waterline but I could be wrong!

  3. My barely there face would have to include mascara.

  4. you look very natural and fresh-faced :) love it
    I rarely do 'barely there' make-up, as my skin is always acting up. But if once in a blue moon it starts to behave, I stick to powder and mascara (loads of it)

  5. Gorgeous look, your skin is lovely, nice even tone :-) I am having issues with my skin at the moment. I have to wear mascara, I feel naked without that xx

  6. For a natural look I need light foundation, concealer (most of the time), powder, blusher and mascara. Until a few weeks ago I didn't wear this little on a regular basis but I'm going through a phase of wearing a lot less at the moment. I really like the Pout Polish on you but I didn't like the vanilla scent of the one I tried a while ago- do they still have that? xx

  7. Foundation (thick to conceal redness) and lipstick. My poor sensitive eyes won't tolerate anything these days so can't wear mascara any more. Sucks...

  11. Your skin looks lovely! I have to at least wear a powder on mine to tone down my redness, but at long as I have mascara I'm happy :)

  12. Im the same with the eyeliner in the waterline, i feel naked without it, maybe because my eyes are small. I use just concealer and eyeliner sometimes.

  13. For me the one thing that i will allways wear is mascara :). My eyelases just feel too boring without it and they don't match my hair colour xD!

  15. Im awful at any barely there looks. I always end up feeling naked and overcompensating with heavy eyeliner/bright lippy! your skin looks great though! I can't get away without at least medium coverage foundation :(

  17. You look lovely! I can't go without mascara, sometimes just on my top lashes is enough and a slip of powder and gloss, then I'm ready for anything! x
