Simple makeup means fewer steps, flexible textures, and shades that flatter fast. Think sheer to buildable lipstick, a small neutral eye palette, a blush that looks like you after a brisk walk, and tools that speed things up.

Comfort starts with gentle lip prep. Buff, condition, then add color. Our formulas feature skin-loving oils and waxes that glide without tugging. For ingredient details, see our Ingredients page.
- Gently sweep the Lip Exfoliate Stick to smooth dry patches.
- Condition with Rallye Balm while you do eyes or base.
- If you are patch testing new products, the American Academy of Dermatology explains simple patch tests.
Lips: Hydrated Color In One Step
For simple makeup, a hydrating lipstick is the quickest face brightener. Our lipsticks are made with Sunflower Seed Oil, Castor Seed Oil, Jojoba, Shea Butter, plant waxes, and Vitamin E for smooth, cushiony wear.
- Swipe and go, or blot and reapply for extra lasting power.
- Define softly with a creamy lip liner to keep edges tidy without harsh lines.
- Want a softer shine without stickiness? Finish with a touch of gloss at the center of lips.
Eyes: Soft Definition For Sensitive Eyes
One Reddit user shared that a tiny neutral quad plus mascara keeps mornings relaxed. For sensitive eyes, start with Prime Time Eye Primer, sweep a light matte, add a soft taupe in the crease, then define lashes.
- Build a custom quad with our talc free eye shadows.
- Trace a thin line with gluten free eyeliner, then smudge for softness.
- Finish with Lash Project Mascara for clean, defined lashes.
Cheeks and Dimension
Choose a blush that mimics your natural flush and a soft bronzer to warm the perimeter of the face. Apply with light layers so skin texture stays fresh.
- Tap on talc free blush high on the cheek, blend toward hairline.
- Add a light sweep of Sundrop Bronzer for gentle warmth.
- Use the Vegan Blush Brush for quick, even blending.
