Even Kim Kardashian [1] needs a break from wearing makeup [2] once in awhile. The star chose to do just that during Paris Fashion Week [3] when she showed up to the Spring 2017 Balenciaga show with a fresh face. Kim teased her makeup-free look on Twitter, writing, "Balenciaga. No makeup today." and happened to look perfectly flawless.

When we zoomed in a little closer on Kim's nude face, we realized the trick to achieving her natural glow was a little bit of eye and lip gloss. The way the gloss caught the light made the formulas function like a pigment-free, natural-looking highlighter.

As for why she chose this moment to go bare, perhaps Kim was feeling her good skin day. It's also possible that she, like Alicia Keys [4], wanted to make a statement that you don't need makeup to feel confident.

Regardless of the reasoning, Kim has inspired us to rethink our beauty routine. If she can sit front row at a fashion show [5] with barely any product on, we can give up products for a day too. And, if you follow Kim's skin care regimen [6], you may never need makeup at all. Read on to get a closer look at Kim's face from all angles.
