Make-up Tip: How to Create a Natural Look

Make up does not have to be overdone. This system of applying makeup for a natural look is fast and easy when you get the hang of it. Try this if your going to school, work or elsewhere. More tips after the jump:

Understand that a 'natural' look is one that uses colors that are right for your skin tone. How much you use, and where, depends on your personal style.

Foundation
Apply foundation that matches your skin tone. The right foundation will seem to disappear on your face. It's a good idea to have light, medium and dark shades of your foundation to allow for different gradations of color on different parts of your face.

Black Eyeliner
Rim top and bottom lash lines with a black pencil, then soften the line with a smudger tip or cotton swab. Sweep top lashes with one coat of black thickening mascara.

Bronze Shadow
Apply a rosy-bronze cream shadow on the brow bone.

Neutral Lipstick
Prep lips with a conditioning balm, then smooth on a nutty-nude color.
