If you are entering the world of makeup or just want to try something new, the "natural look" is perfect for you. Even if you've never tried it, it's really very easy to recreate.
Steps
Part 1 of 3: Apply Makeup to Face
Step 1. Clean your face of any residual makeup
Pour some cleansing milk or just water on a cotton ball; brush or scrub in small circular motions to remove previous makeup. Identify your skin type and cleanse, tone and moisturize with the right products twice a day. If you have skin problems like dark spots / blackheads, use an exfoliant.
Step 2. Hydrate your face
Using a small dab the size of a pea, gently rub in a non-greasy, fragrance-free lotion. Scented lotions can irritate the skin, cause pimples, or cause an allergic reaction; oily lotions promote acne.
For a more natural look, try a tinted moisturizer instead of using a foundation. Tinted moisturizers blend into the skin as they smooth and tone it and, as a rule, contain a sunscreen, as well as moisturizers. They are especially recommended for people with particularly fair skin
Step 3. Apply the concealer to the eye contour and any imperfections
Apply it before your foundation so you don't have to use too much. Make sure it is the same color as your skin. When you apply the concealer, do it directly on the stain and not around it; this is to avoid emphasizing it with a halo. If you want, you can dab with a beige powder.
Be careful not to overdo the concealer; you only need to cover the stain
Step 4. Apply powder foundation to the fattest parts of your face
Before you begin, it is a good idea to determine the right color for you. Get in natural light and try your foundation to make sure it's the right color for your skin. Apply it with very light touches on the cheek and turn your face in different angles to see if the color matches that of your skin.
- Apply foundation by brushing your face with your finger or a sponge until it blends with your skin color. Make sure you go beyond the jaw line; if you stop at the edge of the face, there will be a distinct difference between face and neck.
- If you have dark circles or bags under your eyes, make three dots on the line that delimits the circle of your eyes. Make the foundation penetrate with gentle strokes using the ring finger.
Step 5. Apply bronzer
It's a great way to give yourself a natural glow. Lightly brush the bronzer all over your face (or even just along the cheeks and T-zone for a natural tanned look). However, if applied incorrectly, earth can give a ridiculous look to people who are too pale. Experiment, before you decide if bronzing powder suits you and you can go out wearing makeup. If you don't like yourself, skip this step.
Step 6. Apply the blush
If you don't like bronzer, you can replace it with blush. In cream it generally works better than powder, because it gives you a radiant look and lasts longer. Using a champagne-colored cream blush, rub a little on your ring finger and apply it on your cheeks making it blend into your skin. Note that you shouldn't apply bronzer and blush - just choose one.
Part 2 of 3: Apply Makeup to the Eyes
Step 1. Line the upper eye line with a brown, black or gray kajal pencil
Some women prefer to skip this step, as a mascara-only eye stays more natural than an eye with eyeliner. Some beauty specialists recommend highlighting the eyes with a warm-colored gel eyeliner. The pencil looks less natural than liquid or gel eyeliners, which are easier to blend. Mark your upper rhyme two-thirds and the lower one-third. Blend the line with a cotton swab.
Step 2. Use a white eyeliner or eyeshadow on the innermost part of the eyes to make them appear larger and brighter
Some people add a little white eyeliner or eyeshadow in the brow bone to make their eyes brighter and more awake
Step 3. Try using some eyeshadow as well; for a more professional look, use two shades
The colors you choose should be gold, silver or bronzed, depending on your skin type. Apply the lightest, neutral color tone all over the eyelid and just above the crease and use the darker color to softly mark the upper eyelid and emphasize the crease. For a natural look, remember to mix colors.
Step 4. Curl your lashes and apply mascara
Curving your lashes will give you a luminous look. If you want your lashes to stand out even more, put on your favorite mascara.
If you use mascara, avoid lumps by using a brush to separate the lashes
Part 3 of 3: Apply Makeup to Lips
Step 1. Apply a natural color lipstick
Avoid using earthy or shiny lipsticks. Pencil lipstick is generally best because it looks natural and lasts all day. Use a color that comes close to that of your lips.
Step 2. Apply by dabbing a small amount of illuminating blush in the center of the lips
Practice at home before going out; some people don't like how the blush looks in the center of the lips. Do what you feel and what looks best on you!
Step 3. Enjoy your fresh and radiant look
Advice
- Take it easy. Always looking in the mirror and complaining about your face can ruin your day. Smile and believe in yourself.
- Try using a similar color for the lipstick and blush - it will enhance your natural features.
- Apply makeup in the same light you will find yourself in. For example, if you are going to be in the sun, wear your make-up in bright light or, if you go to the club, under dim lighting.
- Don't go overboard with your makeup! Remember that it serves to enhance your natural features, not hide them.
- Using natural makeup is healthy for the skin and reduces blemishes. In fact, mineral-based foundations do not clog pores and are really good for the skin, so you should spend some money on a good one.
- Ask a trusted friend to tell you if you misapplied your makeup.
