Answer 1

«Foundation»
when putting on foundation you must make it the closest to your natural colouring or you will end up to brown/orange & completely a mess.
You can either use your fingers or a sponge to apply it is completely up to you.
You start doing your forehead,nose,rest of your face & last your eyelids. important fact that a lot of people forget to do.
Also when your putting your foundation on DO NOT forget your neck, there is nothing worse than seeing a tide mark.
When putting in on gently blend from your neck upwards towards your face, not forgetting to get close to your ears.
«Powder»
A loose powder is better & a translucent one is the best. put this on the puff that usually comes with. You do not needs loads of this just pat a little on this helps any shine & to hold your make up better.
«Blusher»
Depending on your colouring really but you do need something that looks natural with your own colouring. A wide brush is the best for this after dabbing it on then give a quick blow to get rid of any excess. This should go from the starter line on your cheek that is online with your nose going up towards the ear. Do not make this a straight line it must be blended.
«Eyeliner»
Put this on before any eyeshadow or mascara.
If using a liquid one thats fine just make sure you have a steady hand broader @ the back thinner @ the front If using a pencil apply the same as the liquid only this time use a cotton bud to blend it a little.
«Eyeshadow»
Again depends on your colouring & the colours you like. Try to keep it on the bottom lid not all the way up to the eyebrow that just looks tacky.
«Mascara»
To stop getting those panda eyes & for a more flattering look use mascara only on the top lashes, use about 2 coats but only when one coat is dry do not try to put all on @ once or it will clump them together, you can also dye your lashes for that all together more professional look as well as using your mascara which gives you the impression or fuller longer lashes.

Answer 2

To get a really natural look, your makeup colors must match your skin tone - either warm or cool. Here's how to determine your skin tone. :

Warm skin tone:
1. Look at inner wrist - veins will appear green.
2. Gold jewelry is more flattering than silver jewelry.

Cool skin tone:
1. Look at inner wrist - veins will appear blue.
2. Silver jewelry is more flattering.

Once you know your skin tone, you can select a light foundation or tinted moisturizer that will conceal flaws but not create a mask. You can also use a slightly damp sponge to apply your regular liquid foundation or mix your liquid foundation w/ a bit of moisturizer.

Clinique's Super Balanced Foundation & tinted sunscreens are worth considering.

To bring out the golden aspect of hazel eyes - use a golden brown eye shadow as an eyeliner tight against the lower lash line. BeneFit & MAC have a good selection of eye shadows for this.

As for blush & lip color - you want to go for a sheer gel blush & lip tint. e.g. Tarte gel blush, BeneTint lip & cheek stain, Kiehl's tinted Lip Balm #1

Another component of the natural look is the trend towards fuller brows. The key is to just clean up your brows by tweezing a few strays & trimming them to make them neater. You can use a clear mascara to set them.

Answer 3

the secret to that look is an eyelash curler and black/brown mascara - it gives more of a natural look. no eyeliner on top - on the bottom, just a little brownish eyeliner on the lid of the eye.

Answer 4

hey there, why dont you try just using facial powder on your face it looks really natural if you blend it properly. Also if you just put a light shade of blush you will look natural as ever

Answer 5

use a makeup sponge when appling liquid foundation and a blush brush when you put on powder... use lighter colors on the eyes like brown

Answer 6

well she's absolutely stunning, so a bit of the old actually being naturally beautiful helps...
