Flawless, Natural-Looking Makeup

The key to natural looking makeup is to use a lot of creams, browns (even pinks), and earth tones. You can be wearing a lot of makeup and still have it look natural. Or you can be wearing just a little bit of makeup and look like a clown! The amount of makeup you use does not determine how natural it looks, so keep this in mind! If you are going for a flawless, natural look then foundation and powder are a MUST.  If you choose the right color of foundation, you will not get a makeup line on your jawline. So don't be afraid to use it! If you are having a tough time choosing the best color of foundation, then I can help you out with that:)

Step 1: Always begin with a primer!! (if you don't have one, a facial moisturizer works just  great) Even if you have oily skin, you still need to begin each makeup application with a primer/moisturizer. This helps to give you a flawless look by filling in your pores and giving you a smooth canvas to work on!

Step 2: Foundation. Choose a shade that will blend with the rest of your neck. As weird as it may sound....apply liquid foundation with a brush! YES, a brush! It applies it more evenly than your fingers will and it gives you that flawless look. Concealer can be used under the eyes and foundation can be used on your eyelids. Put a light powder on top of the foundation to take away the shine. It also helps to blend the foundation.


 

Step 3: The eyes. I usually use 3 different colors when applying eyeshadow. For a natural look I usually use a light shimmer color, a shimmer brown/pink/copper, and a deeper color for the crease. Apply the light shimmer as a highlight for underneath the brow and on the inside of your eye (by your nose). Then apply the shimmer brown (or whatever color you have chosen) to the entire eyelid. Finish off with the deeper color in the crease. Apply your eyeliner to top and bottom (optional).  Then apply your mascara. You can use brown mascara and eyeliner for a more natural look.  



Step 4: Blush. Choose a shade that is your natural color (the color your cheeks turn when you pinch them) Apply lightly over your cheekbone and brush in an upward circular motion.


 

Step 5: The lips. I usually finish off the look with a light lip gloss. Depending on the natural shade of your lips, choose a shade that adds color to your look, but doesn't draw attention to your lips. I usually use a golden shimmery gloss, or a brownish pink gloss.
