And in a world that #wokeuplikethis, few do the natural trend better than Bobbi Brown, who's quick to point out that the no-makeup look is often anything but that. "It means finding the products that enhance your natural features and are right for your skin tone," says the North Shore native. "These are what I call perfect nudes." Brown—who this year is celebrating her eponymous cosmetics line's 25th anniversary— recommends a yellow- toned foundation for a healthy, refreshed complexion, while for lips she suggests going a shade or two lighter or darker than your natural color. Her current nude lip go-to? Suntan Pink from her new, 16-shade Nourishing Lip Color collection. Says Brown, "It's the perfect neutral rose and gives just a hint of color." Nordstrom, 55 E.
