Makeup isn’t just about how you look—it’s about how you feel. Some days you want to show up fresh-faced and barely touched. Others, you want that liner sharp enough to cut through a to-do list.
Whether you’re heading out or staying in, here are four easy looks to match your vibe—each built around a lightweight, skin-first approach using Lava Art staples.
1. The Barely-There Mood: Fresh, Clean, Undone
Perfect for slow mornings, solo coffee walks, or days when you want to feel put-together without trying too hard. This look is all about skin that looks like skin, with a few quick touches to enhance what’s already there.
Start with the Glow Compact Foundation for a light wash of radiance. Tap in a little Concealer only where needed—under the eyes, around the nose, or on any redness. Skip the liner, brush your brows up, and finish with a bit of cream blush or lip balm. That’s it. Done in five minutes, and it still feels like you.
2. The Romantic Mood: Soft, Flushed, Lit-from-Within
This is your mood when you're feeling sweet, glowy, and maybe a little nostalgic. Think candlelit dinners, playlist on shuffle, and skin that catches the light in all the right places.
Reach for the Glow Compact Foundation again—but this time build it up a bit more for that glass-skin effect. Use a pink or peach Perfect Cover Color Concealer under the eyes for brightness, then lightly press in blush on your cheeks and eyelids for a monochrome finish. Add a soft flick of Perfect Eyeliner if you’re feeling it.
3. The Focused Mood: Matte, Polished, Intentional
For work mode, errands, or anytime you want your look to say “I’ve got this.” This one’s about control, clean lines, and a little more structure.
Swap in the Matte Compact for a shine-free, even base. Use the Perfect Blender to press in product with precision. A touch of Finishing Powder around the T-zone keeps everything locked in. Define brows, tightline the eyes, and maybe pull your hair back into a clean bun. Power look, without the effort.
4. The Free-Spirit Mood: Playful, Light, Unstructured
You're not following rules today—you’re doing what feels fun. Maybe it’s a colorful liner, maybe it’s flushed cheeks and no foundation at all. This is your makeup, your way.
Start with skincare and spot-conceal as needed. Or skip base altogether and just focus on one fun feature—like smudgy liner with the Perfect Eyeliner, or extra blush high up on the cheekbones for that windswept feel. The beauty of this look? No wrong answers.
Your mood changes, and so should your makeup.
With buildable formulas and skin-first finishes, you can move from glowy to polished to undone—all using the same few staples. Explore the full makeup collection and create your own moodboard, one look at a time.
