Am i right that natural, simple make up is better??

Question

i like experimenting w/ make up but i only wear natural make up b/c im afraid to go out w/ a very dramatic looking face lol

Answer 1

natural is best! It's no compliment to be told your makeup looks good. Apply it so well people think you just have great skin and don't wear makeup.

Answer 2

For daytime yes, but you don't have to be "plain". You can wear a plum colored eye shadow- just nothing real purple or blue. You can wear lipstick or gloss and eye shadow at the same time but if you want to have a darker eye don't wear a dark lipstick- just wear a light or neutral color or gloss (for daytime). For evening or night you can darken it up and make it more dramatic. If you wear a black top for ex. a dark gray eye shadow looks really good w/it. You could wear a red lipstick too since you would be going out at night. Just play around w/different looks and see what you like. You could have a friend help to get their opinion on how it looks. Have fun.

Answer 3

You can't go wrong with natural, simple makeup but don't be afraid to experiment. Just don't "do up" more than one feature at once...pick eyes or lips. Try starting out with some colored cream eyeshadows or something sheer. As long as you still look like you and not a drag queen, you should be fine!

Answer 4

For everyday wear definetly. But if its a night out or eveningoccasion experiment with a smokey eye look. Whta may seem as a dramatic lookin isnt in the evening spcifically eye make up

Answer 5

Sometimes a natural look is best, but I've been known to put on thick black eyeliner and blend my eyeshadow with it sow it turns from pink to blue to purple. It looks really pretty and I've had compliments on it from girls and guys alike. Don't be afraid to experiment. Just remember : It washes off and you don't ever have to do it again if you don't like it.

Answer 6

I dont see any problem with it I wear plane and simple make up becuase it makes you look more natural and guys love natural beauty. But always remember this if you are going to wear eye shadow dont wear lipstick if you are going to wear lipstick dont wear eye shadow. if you did both then your lips would be competing with your eyes and you want one focus on your face not a clown look.

Answer 7

Yes..natural is the best since its beauty without overdoing it. But sometimes unusual coloured eyeshadows look nice 2 for an evening out

Answer 8

I use natural colors that blend well during the day,then I go bold at night.
Go to the mall walk in to Dillard's go to the make up counter and ask for a make over their free! and give you a chart showing you what has been done.

Answer 9

Of course less and simple is beautiful. I use mineral makeup because it is all-natural and being touted as something that can actually help your skin. Cosmetic companies are marketing it by different names, but they all have a common ingredient - minerals.
"Mineral makeup" takes its inspiration from minerals and inorganic pigments that exist in nature. Many combinations of these colored minerals, such as mica, titanium dioxide, zinc and iron oxides, and ultramarine pigments, can be created to make every cosmetic from foundation to eyeshadow to shimmer powder for the body ...

* Natural Beauty - Enhance The Looks You Have *

Visualization

You need to visualize the specific changes if you truly want to change your look. What will any improvements you make look like? See yourself with a streamlined body, healthier hair, clearer skin, majestic posture. These changes are realistic and attainable. Stay away from goals you'll never reach.
Don't compare yourself with someone you've seen on the TV or movie screen or on the cover of a magazine. Accept your uniqueness and capitalize on it.

Mirrors Boost Attitude

The quickest attitude adjustment is through reflection. Women who have low self esteem often avoid mirrors like the plague. However, mirrors can become a big ally.
Mirrors can tell you how you're progressing, in those little ways that may not be noticeable to the casual eye. It is the ultimate objective eye.

Do Everything Better

The way you use your beauty products will make all the difference in results.
For instance, try to duplicate what you see and feel your hair is shampooed at a salon. The product is always handled, never poured directly on hair.
Add a massage to your scalp when washing. While rinsing, lift your hair away from your scalp for about two minutes until it squeaks.

Discover The Virtues of Vanity

Look Pretty Amazing

Don't worry about looking pretty. Look pretty amazing show the world you care about yourself. Real beauty celebrates individuality. Rather than running around looking for beauty in pricey external products, discover within yourself. Make the most of what you have. You'll learn to like yourself and that will spark a light within.

Do One Thing For Yourself Everyday

Make yourself do it. It's the ultimate act of self-respect. Soak in the bubble bath or read an inspiring book. These little pleasures allow you to feel special. You can fake it if you, until you actually feel deserving of it. Whatever you choose, follow the action by writing down waht you did and how it made you feel. Make it your own "attitude file". Include stories, quotes from friends and photographs that have made you feel good about yourself.

Project Beauty

Feel good, feel pretty and that's just what the world will see. If you feel ugly, that's what the people will see. Try to look as good as you can. There are ways to live in beauty without being obsessive about it.

Find Supportive Friends

What people say, whether intentional or not, make us feel good or bad about ourselves. Look for people who make you feel good when you're down. This person will give you compliment.

Listen To Your Inner Voice

Each of us has a voice inside our head that will give us advice. This is like a therapist. It will guide us in the right direction. It will calm us down, cheer us up and even help us figure out why we're overeating or not bothering to iron our clothes. The problem is that we often don't take time we need to hear this important information. Schedule some quiet time in a leisurely bath or walk, or even while putting on your makeup. Treat this intuition as an inner cheering section.

Take A Break

At least twice a day, set aside five minutes to recheck your make-up, hair, posture and clothing. No matter how impeccably you started out your day, a touch is both necessary and warranted. Take some deep breaths to renew and restore your appearance.
