Ever wondered if it was possible to do a full face of makeup without anyone being able to tell? It seems that some of the big names in fashion can, as minimalism played a big hand in some recent Fall 2011 shows.

“‘No-makeup makeup’ was how makeup artist Dick Page explained the look at Marc by Marc Jacobs, and it was an apt description: Page didn’t have to do much,” FashionEtc.com reports. “He started by massaging a healthy dose of [night cream] onto the complexion (giving skin a lovely sheen) and followed it up with a little translucent powder, blush, and lip balm.”

Some of you may be wondering what the point would be, but let us tell you – looking effortlessly flawless is always worth it, and it doesn’t require a whole lot of rocket science.

Stick to shadows, blushes and lip colors in the same color family as your natural skin tone, though playing up the rosy tones just a tad is an excellent way to bring a rush of feminine appeal to your face.
