You know, as much as I love color and playing around with bright shades, there's something to be said for more subtle beauty. The kind of makeup that looks like you're not wearing any. That's what Smashbox's new Naked Beauty collection is all about - glowing, flawless skin with touches of natural color on the lips and eyes.
The Naked Beauty Lip Gloss Collection is a set of eight small lip glosses in shades ranging from super sheer to slightly pigmented. All of them are really natural looking, the kind of shades that you can apply without looking in a mirror and not be worried that you have the dreaded "clown mouth." (The shades are named things like Bare, Nude, and Sunkissed). They're definitely tiny tubes, but I like that about them. For one, there's only so much of these colors you're going to wear, but also, they look great with a smokey eye AND they're the perfect size to throw in a clutch for a night out or to travel with. They could even fit in your pocket, if you wanted them to, without being annoying and feeling bulky. They're also moisturizing and not sticky at all. They're the kind of glosses that will look great with a tan this summer (faux, of course!)
The Naked Beauty collection also includes a Photo Finish Lid Primer in a shimmering nude shade. You can use it either as a base for other shadows or (and this is what I did all last weekend) use it by itself to create a really simple natural eye with a bit of glimmer to it. (I just added a touch of eyeliner and some mascara and it was perfect for running errands during the day). When I use it as a primer, it smooths out the color on my lids and makes my shadows last longer, so I definitely recommend using it on those days when you know you're going to need your makeup to last. It's the kind of product that's perfect to toss in your beach bag so you can touch yourself up and look pretty "naturally." Ahh, Naked Beauty...
The Naked Beauty collection includes several other products (I'm about to start testing the Halo Hydrating Perfecting Bronzer, which looks awesome) You can find it at Sephora and on smashbox.com.
