A Makeup Tutorial for Natural Looking Makeup
When applying makeup, a natural makeup look is both appealing and easy to achieve.
Start by choosing colors that match your natural skin tone. Your foundation should be as close as possible to the color of your skin. Eyeliner and mascara should only be black if you have very dark hair. If your hair is a lighter shade, choose light or dark brown for a more natural appearance. If you choose to use eyeshadow, subtle colors will appear more natural than bright ones. Choose a lipstick only one or two shades brighter than your natural lip color. Rouge should be a similar shade to your lipstick.
When applying foundation, be sure to blend completely, paying special attention to your jawline. Applying a powder over liquid foundation can help soften the appearance of your skin – very important for natural looking makeup.
Apply mascara from the base of your lashes to the tips, separating the lashes and coating them evenly. Do not apply so much that it appears thick or clumpy. For a natural look, eyeliner should not be too thick. Use eyeshadow sparingly and apply it strategically to enhance the natural creases and shadows above your eye. It can add a dramatic effect, but if used in excess, it will not look natural.
To apply lipstick, first use a matching lip-liner to outline and emphasize the outside edge of your lips. This is one of the most overlooked makeup tips: Do not use a liner color that is more than one shade darker than your natural lip color. Also, do not deviate from your natural lip shape. Apply your lipstick smoothly to both lips. If it seems too thick or clumps form, blot your lips with a tissue. Be careful not to rub your lips together, as this can cause smearing.
If you choose to apply blush, start by smiling. Apply a small dab of rouge to the natural apple of each cheek and then carefully blend it upward and outward. Blend completely. If it appears too bright, foundation may be used to soften the effect.
Everyone who uses makeup wants that natural look. Achieving it is a combination or finding the right products and applying them in the right way. Following these tips should help you achieve a gorgeous, natural makeup look.
