What's the best news you've heard lately? (If it involves Speidi or a Lindsay other than Vonn, you can stop reading right now.)

For me it's the fact that "no-makeup makeup" is a hot spring (and spring is getting closer!) trend.

Truth be told, I've never been much of a makeup maven. (Ironic, sure, given my current day job.) It's just that I'm really not good at applying it and still feel like I'm playing dress up when I have lipstick on.

That's the genius behind the no makeup look -- it's all about looking as natural as you can.

Now, I'm not saying that you should toss all your products and parade around bare faced -- there is a method involved here -- one my gorgeous beauty blogger friend (pictured) outlines here, step by step.

Step 1: Start by prepping your skin with an oil-free moisturizer. This will give a bit of slip so your makeup goes on smoother.

Step 2: Ditch your heavy foundation for a tinted moisturizer to even out your skin tone (if you have good skin). And, if you need more coverage, use a liquid foundation with a dewy finish. See recommended products here.

Step 3: Apply your foundation or tinted moisturizer with a sponge like Beautyblender, $19.95 in a stippling motion. Pay extra attention to the edges to make sure there are no visible lines. See how to finish off your skin here.
