well despite your nose and lips being "perfect" i will answer your question anyway.
the trick of good natural makeup is all about the skin.
you first have to get a good foundation that is the right colour. i like screenface's 'minimal makeup'. you can get it online if you google screenface.
you mix a dash of that with a coin size amount of oil free nivea moisturiser, and some moonbeam (benefit's moonbeam - and you don't use much, a drop or 2 is plenty).
massage that onto your face and make sure you do your jawline and neck perfectly.
when it's settled apply some nice bronzer, sparingly ACCROSS the cheek. Do not do upwards diagonal lines of blush or bronze ever. this is incorrect application. you should go directly out and accross from the apple of your cheek towards the middle of your ear. but be sparing.
do some nicely applied, well blended earthy toned eyeshadows. perhaps with some subtle shimmer in them. line under the lashes with soft blended brown eyeliner. no liquids or pens. soft smudgy pencil..apply well - with care and make it look subtle. you are trying to frame your eyes not underline them. then lots of nicely applied mascara and some soft natural lip gloss and you're done.
good luck

I use a product called Bare Essentials. Its made with pure minerals no additives no chemicals... It goes on flawless .. and it isn't cakey..... Its very expensive though.... but there are cheaper alternatives ive found in the drugstore, just look for anything that has minerals in the name... I think neutrogena almay and revlon make them now... apply some brown or clear mascara some soft pink eyeshadow and some soft pink lip gloss and lil bronzer and you'll be gorgeous... hope this helped! Good luck!

Choose a powder that goes with your complextion, a color lip gloss (test before you buy), Clear Mascara, Light neutral colors eye-shadow, like brown, baby pink.
Use a Blush brush or a big soft brush to put on the powder, it make the skin look even and light. Make sure to brush powder to face and neck.
Add shadow to the upper lip, and dust it properly, put on lips color gloss then mascara.

This system of applying makeup for a natural look is fast and easy when you get the hang of it.
Steps:
1. 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.
2. Make sure your concealer is yellow in tone since it mutes imperfections without adding color, giving your skin a natural look.
3. Apply foundation that matches your skin tone. The right foundation will seem to disappear on your face. If you are African-American, 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.
4. Apply eye makeup in earthy tones'beige, brown, gold or plum for shadows and brown and charcoal gray for liner and mascara. Skip liner or shadow entirely if you want to keep makeup light.
5. Choose a blush color that is close to the color of your cheeks after you've exercised.
Tips:
Apply makeup in the order described in "eHow to Apply Makeup in 10 Easy Steps" (see Related eHows), and remember to clean and moisturize your face first.
Choose brighter or darker tones for a stronger, more made-up look.
Intensify your natural makeup for evening. Instead of brown, for example, go for charcoal around the eyes. 'Pop' blush with a brighter color over your usual one. Make lips brighter, darker or more shimmery.
Warning:
Don't skimp on makeup tools. Better tools make applying makeup easier and faster.

Do to the fact your description seems to fit mine to a T, I'll give you my best possible advice. Go light on foundation, heck, don't even use it if u don't have to. To bring out your beautiful brown eyes try using a bronzer as blush. It'll give ur face a tan look to blend with your hair and eyes. Eyeliner will also bring out your eyes, which i think is great to use, but thats personal preference. But just remember light, to much is YUCK! Hope I helped!

Wear neutral colors and try and skip the foundation and opt ofr a bronzer. I love bronzers especially in the summertime. That way you get a pretty glow and use some bronze colored eyeshadow and a light lipstick, try pinks and corals, and neutral browns.

Think neutral colors and soft pinks. Use a brown eye liner and bronzer on you face. Lips should be a soft pink or sink tone. Stay away from heavy colors and black.

I would use mineral foundations as they look natural on your face. Try everydayminerals.com. Do not wear any blushes or bronzers if you have light skin. Wear a pink color lipstick and depending on your eyes, you may use eyeliners, mascaras and even eyeshadows.
