Makeup And Nature Now Together

There are some women who won't be caught dead without makeup in public, and then there are some women who refuse to wear any make up at all.

However, you can create a natural makeup look by using simple makeup. That way, you have a clean appearance while disguising the flaws you hate.

Natural Makeup Fundamentals

• Let's begin with a clean face. During the daytime, use either a moisturizing sunscreen or sun block. For oily skin use a non oily formula, if your skin is dry use moisturizer and sun block together.

• For oily skin, dry compact bases work really well, or go for an oil free liquid based. Dry skins prefer cream bases which give a dewy appearance. Ensure the base you pick matches your skin tone.

• Concealers are best for that natural look; you could cover up blemishes and broken veins with a good concealer without a heavy base on your face.

• Gently pat the concealer on the area to be covered. Do not rub it hard or it may disappear into the skin pores. Ensure it gets blended really well.

• Some makeup professionals recommend damp sponges, but fingers work just as well.

• Powder can be optional but it settles your make-up and soaks up excess oil. Apply the powder on with a good puff, or you might prefer to use a powder brush. After a few minutes, brush off the powder by using light and gentle downward strokes.

• Next, apply the blusher. Brush this gently onto the apple of your cheekbones, and upwards towards the temples. Do not apply too much onto your brush; you could always go all over it again. Again, blend really well!

• Finally, place a cool damp face cleaner over your face and push very gently. This gives the face a fresh look.
