How to become a pro at doing natural looking makeup
You might have noticed that it is very easy to paint your face with colors and go for smoky eyes, but the real struggle is when you want to go for the natural look. That is when your makeup skills are truly tested. It is not everyone’s cup of tea to look effortless using makeup.
But with that said, it is not that hard to master the natural look. All that you need to keep in mind is that you need to enhance your features and make them look sharp. That is it. Once you are clear about what you want, it is easy to work for it.
For all the beginners, here are some easy tricks to keep in mind while you are going for the natural look.
- Start with your skin
Before you start with your makeup, make sure that the canvas is ready for the art. Confused? It means that you need to have a clear skin to start your make up. So, clean and exfoliate your skin gently before you sit to do your make up. After this, moisturize your skin so that your foundation sits perfectly on your face. - Perfect your skin
Remember that you do not want to cake your face with the foundation, so the right amount of coverage is what you should look for.
The truth is that if you apply eyeliner, it dims the illusion of a no makeup face. So, ditch the eyeliner and instead apply a light coat of mascara. Mascara will give your eyelashes good volume and at the same time make your eye makeup look effortless. If you want, then you can go for a light shade of eyeshadow that is just a shade or two darker than your skin tone.
Eyebrows can make or break your looks. So, invest in a good eyebrow pencil and then fill your eyebrows by taking some time. If you do not want to make it evident that you have filled your brows, you can go for brown shades of eyebrow pencils.
Warm colors often make you look young and natural. So, if you are going for a natural looking makeup, you can dab some blush on your cheeks and paint your lips in a subtle shade of pink or red. If you don’t want to wear the lipstick, you can apply some natural lip balm that will make your lips look plump and pink.
Remember that when it comes to natural looking makeup, less is always more. Try to keep it simple yet classy.
