Blame Beyonce for the ‘I woke up like this’ trend;the barely-there nude makeup look is here to stay. Not only does it look surprisingly glamorous despite it being so minimal, it’s also insanely easy to pull off. Here are five of our favourite celebrity looks to copy…

Jessica Biel

Let your natural radiance and features take centre stage with a nude makeup look. Like Jessica Biel, try a dewy base, define your brows and add a slick of pinky-beige lip gloss to finish.
