Being busy is something most women can’t avoid. There are times when makeup isn’t a big deal but you still want to look presentable and pulled together, without the hassle. That’s the perfect time to wear natural looking makeup. A day at the beach with your beau, hiking in the woods with a tour group, or even an informal lunch with friends are occasions when you don’t want to wear a lot of makeup, but you still want to look foxy. It’s for those occasions when wearing less is more!

How to Apply Natural Looking Makeup

  • If you’ve got a great complexion already, why smother it with foundation? Tinted moisturizers, sheer foundations, or sunless tanning facial lotions will give you all the coverage you need.

    If you’re sporting a few zits, you’ll need to hide them. After you apply a good water based facial lotion, allow it to dry and use a concealer on your pimples, close to your natural complexion shade, to disguise them.

    To apply makeup concealer, warm a bit up on your fingertips first. Then smooth it onto troubled areas. Blend it as well as possible and allow it to dry completely. Next, apply a foundation that gives you optimal coverage, like mineral makeup. Then blend, blend, blend with a large makeup brush.

    Remember that you’re wearing natural looking makeup. Don’t plaster on foundation if you want a fresh, dewey complexion.

  • If you want your makeup to look natural, choose eyeshadow colors that compliment your eye color. Look at the specs in the iris of your eyes for natural hints about the colors you should choose. Beige, pale yellow, gold, and brown colors look fantastic with every eye color. Use them to enhance your eyes but not overwhelm them.

    Otherwise, choose colors that are close to your natural eye color. Blue eyes would choose shades of blue shadows. Green eyes should choose shades of green shadows. For seemless appeal, hazel and brown eyes are best sticking to different shades of brown shadows.

    You don’t have to be drab to have natural looking makeup, but if you don’t want to stand out in a crowd, your shadow colors should be subtle and refined.

  • Most women look much better with a little liner definition around their eyes. Heavy liners are fantastic for a night out on the town so you can make them as bold as you want without looking outlandish. However, if you want a natural look, you’ve got to tone down your liner frenzy.

    To look like you’re not wearing makeup at all, keep your eyeliner lines soft and gentle by using pencil liners. Brown eyeliners give illustration without being overbearing. Black eyeliners are well suited for those with dark skin, eyes, and hair.

  • Choose to wear clear mascara to define lashes and brows. For natural looking makeup, you can sleek by with brown mascara too, if clear mascara just isn't your 'thang'. Just don’t pump it up too much and you’ll look terrific, without creating too much fuss!

  • If you haven’t been out in the sun a lot, you’ll also need a gentle sweep of blush on the apples of your cheeks. Shades of soft peach blush or soft pink blush are colors that give an inconspicuous glow to your face, without looking gawdy. Bronzers are also a good choice, as long as you don’t choose a shade that’s too dark for your skin tone. Stick with softer shades that give you a sun kissed glow without overpowering your face.

  • Bold lipstick colors are totally not a part of natural looking makeup. Stick to lip glosses or lip plumpers which plump up lips for more sex appeal. Clear lip glosses are cool but you can also wear colored lip glosses in shades that are close to your natural lip color. Nudes, peaches, and pinks are all good color choices.

    The cosmetic industry has come a long way in perfecting their products. It’s much easier to look natural with the wide variety of makeup products that are available today. Experiment with different shades of makeup to find the look that you seek!

    Makeup is meant to transform the way you look and feel! It should create an image you like to see! You don’t need to slather on makeup to feel good about how you look. That just doesn’t make sense!

    The bottom line is that your natural looking makeup shouldn’t overpower your face. It shouldn’t take you long to apply your makeup and it shouldn’t be a pain in the butt to put on. The truth is that most women need a little help with imperfections. Everyone has flaws they want to hide!

    That's perfectly natural!
