Perhaps one of the biggest makeup bag legends is the no-makeup-makeup look. This self-contradictory trend breaks practically all the rules of makeup as an art of transforming and concealing the face. A favorite on the runway and off (on our favorite off-duty models), barely-there makeup is about accentuating what you’re already working with. The secret isn’t going completely makeup-free, rather a low-key approach to it all in an embrace of natural features. But fear not undereye bags and acne spots, V has got you covered in how to tackle what might be the most illusionary beauty trend of all.
