15 Times Kelsey Merritt Nailed The 'No-Makeup-Makeup' Look

Contrary to popular believe, 'no-makeup-makeup' is quite tricky to achieve—but one person who nails it each time is none other than Victoria's Secret model Kelsey Merritt!

Her signature beauty look consists of thick, bushy brows brushed upwards (you can cop the trend here), a nude lip gloss, and sheer foundation that doesn't cover up her favorite features: her freckles! According to the model-of-the-moment, she even wore this natural, 'barely there' look to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show casting. "I couldn't put too much makeup, but I wanted to look my best. I feel like with makeup it's supposed to bring out your best qualities—it's not supposed to cover anything," she told Vogue.
