Whether you're a makeup minimalist or a smoky-eye devotee, these quick and easy looks give you pretty, polished results with just a few products.

Sheer Genius
The bare necessities for this "no makeup" look? Rosy-pink blush and lip balm. For a dewy glow, makeup artist Maxine Leonard dabbed Jo Malone Vitamin E lip balm on cheekbones, inner eye corners--and lips, of course. Then she carefully filled out the brows and brushed them up. "With a fresh, natural look, it's important to have groomed brows. They frame the face and add definition," she says.

Gold Rush
For a fast smoky eye, Leonard dotted black pencil between the lashes and lined the lower inner rims. Then she blended the liner with a slick black gloss for extra sex appeal. As a final touch, she mixed a dab of lip balm with gold shadow and gilded the inner eye corners. "Highlighting the eyes opens up the face," she says.

Pinkberry
"Fuchsia lipstick is more fun and playful than the classic red," according to Leonard, who first lined the model's lips with MAC Lip Pencil in Magenta to prevent color bleeding. "It's a versatile shade that suits girls with fair or dark hair." To balance the bold look, she suggests a clean swipe of lengthening - not thickening - mascara. "With a bright lip, you don't want heavy black lashes."
