There are people in this world that can step out of the house without an ounce of make up on. They don’t need mascara or foundation because some tinted lip-gloss and a little facial moisturizer will do. They serve as an example of how unfair the world is, but also as motivation to feel comfortable in your own skin.

Before you dash to the nearest drug store or beauty counter, look in the mirror. What is your best facial feature? Focus on it, work around it and step out confidently knowing that natural is beautiful.

Take note from these supermodels on natural beauty. 

Hilary Rhoda

Hilary Rhoda

Hilary’s mesmerizing eyes are her weapons in disguise. Eyes can speak louder than any voice, so harness their power. There isn’t much you can do to actually enhance your irises, but grooming your brows and lashes can have a powerful effect on your gaze. Don’t reach for that mascara because an eyelash curler will suffice. A little extra flip in the lash and you are ready to captivate all the guys with your eyes.

Joan Smalls

Joan Smalls

This Puerto Rican cutie’s sun-kissed skin exudes health. Lightly exfoliating, cleansing and moisturizing every day, drinking lots of water and even stepping out into the sun every once in a while can help you obtain Joan’s Caribbean glow. Although it is important to remember sunblock, darker skin can get away with longer periods of time in the sun because of the higher concentration of melanin in the skin. Use that to your advantage and soak up some vitamin D.

Cara Delevingne

Cara Delevingne

This model is the class clown of the fashion world. Her funny faces and quirky poses have popped up all over the Internet and show that this beauty’s primary goal is to have fun. Thick, dark brown eyebrows with naturally blonde hair, like Cara’s, are an unexpected feature that, when brushed and properly groomed, can make every other part of your face even more beautiful. So you have thick eyebrows? Own it.

Liu Wen

Liu Wen

The mix of an oval-shaped face and triangular jaw on Liu makes for the perfect cheekbone and lip combination. Although a little blush can boost a feature like this, her sharp and distinct is so much more interesting to look at without any enhancement. If you have a facial structure similar to this, create hairstyles that show it off. Liu parts her hair down the middle and tucks it behind her ears to make sure her hair won’t hide her striking structure.

Karlie Kloss

Karlie Kloss

Karlie has everything working for her (it must be nice). She has gorgeous arched eyebrows that give the impression that she’s hiding a delicious secret. Her eyes instantly let you know she doesn’t take any nonsense. And those sky-high cheekbones with that pouty mouth personify the term attitude. She’s like the hotter, more mature version of Taylor Swift, without all the extra lipstick and mascara. Although having a naturally confident look can be disadvantageous because people assume you’re mean, make it work to your advantage by presenting the deadliest combination — gorgeous and sweet.
