Victoria Jackson coined "no-makeup makeup" in 1986 and launched No Makeup Makeup, her new brand, in 2024. Centered on a true-to-skin approach to beauty, the brand focuses on helping makeup wearers feel comfortable and confident in their own skin with [clean, natural-looking makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/covergirl-clean-invisible-foundation) that's effortless to apply and wear.

No Makeup Makeup is introducing itself to the world with a featherweight [cream-balm foundation that's shade-adaptive](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skin-nova-complexion-balm) and color-correcting with [blurring pigments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porefessional-foundation). Free from harmful chemicals and skin irritants, the brand's debut formula is hydrating with a skin-like feel thanks to nourishing plant-based ingredients like jojoba oil, Vitamin E and a unique magnesium compound, plus FlexShade technology to flatter all skin types.

The lightweight and buildable No Makeup Makeup Foundation is launching alongside The Perfect Brush for applying and blending.
