We’ve been blessed with some lovely summer sunshine recently. It’s made a welcome change to the notorious rain that the UK is known for! However, it’s been pretty hot, and there’s nothing worse than a full face of heavy makeup that slides off your face when it’s warm outside. It’s uncomfortable, feels gross, and just isn’t appealing.
That’s why I’ve created this simple, natural, and lightweight summer makeup look using the Perricone MD No Makeup range. It’s breathable, lasts all day without breaking down or becoming greasy, and is quick and easy to do. Plus, the skincare-infused formulas in the Perricone MD No Makeup line mean the products feel great on the skin.

How to do this easy makeup look
Below, I’m sharing the products you’ll need to achieve this makeup look along with a step-by-step tutorial.
Perricone MD No Makeup products
Other essential products
- Lightweight tinted moisturiser or skin tint
- Translucent setting powder
- Fluffy brow product
- 2 shades of matte brown eyeshadow
- Setting spray
Steps
Here’s how I achieved this simple summer makeup look step by step:
- Apply the Perricone MD No Makeup Instant Blur Priming Moisturizer all over your face.
- Conceal any areas that need evening out, such as over blemishes, under the eyes, or over redness (optional).
- Use a lightweight skin tint or tinted moisturiser and blend thoroughly into the skin using your fingertips, a beauty blender, or a brush.
- Spritz setting spray all over your face.
- Once the setting spray has dried, lightly apply translucent powder in areas that typically get oily, like the cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin.
- Take a few drops of the Perricone MD No Makeup Bronzer and rub them between your fingertips. Then pat the product across your cheeks and a little on the nose to warm the complexion.
- Swipe the Perricone MD No Makeup Blush Balm a couple of times just below the cheekbones. Use fingertips to pat the blush into your skin.
- Place 2 dots of the Perricone MD No Makeup Highlighter on your cheekbones. Pat the product in with your fingertips.
- Curl eyelashes and apply eyeshadow primer (optional).
- Apply brow product of choice for a fluffy effect.
- Take a light brown matte eyeshadow and sweep all over the eyelids.
- Use a darker brown matte eyeshadow and create a soft wing. Smudge it out to diffuse the edges for a softer effect.
- Coat upper lashes only with the Pericone MD No Makeup Mascara.
- Apply Perricone MD No Makeup Lip Oil all over lips. I used the shade ‘Plum’.
The verdict
I’d previously tried and reviewed some products from the Perricone MD No Makeup line. They overall really impressed me, and I loved their natural-looking finish. The primer, blush balm, and lip oil were all new products for this makeup look.
I really like how my makeup turned out! The look only took around 20 minutes to do and was straightforward. It felt lightweight, looked fresh, and lasted all day without becoming oily – even on my t-zone.
You could also play around with different eyeshadow shades, such as pastels, cool tones, or vibrant tones, and lip oil colours from Perricone MD’s range for some variety and fun.
The Perricone MD No Makeup products are brilliant and made this look so effortless to do.
I love the Instant Blur Priming Moisturizer. It fills in pores and gives a soft matte blurry effect, so when you apply any base products on top, your skin looks smooth, even, and soft. When I applied a skin tint on top, it blended seamlessly with no pilling or dry patches. The primer also kept my makeup in place all day.
The Bronzer takes a fair bit of patting into the skin to avoid any patchiness. Even then, it can still go a bit patchy, so it takes a bit of layering to look smooth. However, it’s very natural and lightweight, so it’s great for day-to-day wear.
I love the new Blush Balm and prefer it to Perricone MD’s liquid blush formula. It’s easier to apply and blend. I love the soft raspberry shade and think it would flatter a lot of skin tones. It provides subtle radiance without any shimmer.
The Highlighter is incredibly natural and provides a lit-from-within glow without any glitter particles. It melts into the skin quickly with a few taps. It’s not the most long-wearing highlighter, but it’s ideal for a natural summer makeup look, as it’s completely weightless once applied.
I’m obsessed with the Mascara and reach for it frequently. It happens to be one of my all-time faves. There’s no clumping, flaking, or dryness. It coats lashes quickly and separates them, so there’s no dreaded spider lashes. The mascara adds a lot of length and curl, which lasts all day without dropping. It doesn’t smudge or transfer. It looks natural but makes a definite difference to my lashes.
The new Lip Oil is a major hit. I’ve got all 6 shades, and each one is delightful. The tint it delivers is light but still noticeable. Unlike many lip oils, these ones actually feel hydrating. The formula is quite thick but not sticky at all, so it coats lips in a lovely nourishing gloss. It delivers wearable shine. Each lip oil also smells unreal with a sweet vanilla scent. They’re perfect for shiny, plump, moisturised, and smooth lips.
