Women often use up so much time to make sure they look good, oftentimes forgetting what truly matters --beauty from within.

Latina beauties, however, have embraced their inner prettiness, proving to the world that even without makeup, they are gorgeous.

Proof of this is an Instagram post from versatile award-winning Mexican actress Salma Hayek who snapped a photo of herself just after taking a shower. Check it out below.

This post caught the attention of Latina Magazine, who included it in their compilation of Latina celebrities who pull off the "fresh faced and gorgeous" look with no or very minimal makeup.

How do they do it? Glamour Magazine provided some must-learn tips from experts to pull off that gorgeous Latina-like, no-makeup look.

The first step is to use a light moisturizer before putting on anything else. This will help you achieve radiant-looking skin like that of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" star Lupita Nyong'o.

Allow it to stay on your face for five minutes before wiping off the excess moisturizer with a tissue.

Experts cited by the magazine also emphasized the importance of using a primer before the "real" makeup to leave skin looking moisturized.

"The texture of a gel-based primer... instantly makes skin look like it's had a moisture boost, all while diminishing large pores and other imperfections," makeup artist Andrew Sotomayor told the outlet.

Simply apply a pea-sized amount onto the skin using a brush. Begin at the center and then move up along the nose, going outwards.

The next step is to cover up spots and blemishes using a concealer. Experts advise against the use of your fingers when doing this.

Instead, use a brush to pat it onto the skin, and a sponge to blend it, according to makeup artist Nick Barose.

After that, you can now proceed to your liquid foundation. Put it on your face with a brush. According to Sotomayor, a quick tip is determining which part of the face needs more and which should have less foundation. This will help you to achieve a natural-looking flawlessness.

Next, makeup artist Katey Denno says women should use a luminizer with oil to get that Latina inner glow.

Finally, finish up the look with a natural-looking blush. A translucent cheek stain, for example, is a good idea. The experts do not recommend the use of powder if the subject is not prone to having an oily nose or forehead, as powder can diminish the naturalness of the look.
