Cosmetics have the power to transform. However, accepting and loving your face without makeup is an important first step in learning how to work with products to bring out your unique self.

Don’t wear makeup because you are expected to or because everyone you know does. Use it if it’s a positive choice for you!

Seek products that are organic and natural and use mineral colors and natural preservatives such as vitamin E.

Here are some ideas for a subdued but polished look.

For Face

● First things first. Apply a light moisturizing serum to smooth away any rough spots and flaky skin. Prepping the skin in this manner helps cosmetics adhere more easily. Give the product a few minutes to sink in before applying makeup. ● Choose a liquid foundation in the same shade as your skin. To determine whether you need a cool or warm color, look at the veins on the insides of your wrists. If the veins are blue or purple, you have cool undertones to your skin. Select products with cool red and blue pigments. If the veins appear green, you have warm undertones. Look for makeup with golden or yellow hues. ● For a uniform look, even out skin tone with an application of foundation. To apply, wet a makeup sponge with a small amount of water. Wring it out so it’s not too wet. Use the sponge to apply a small amount of product for a sheer and natural effect. If you have mostly flawless skin, skip foundation. Use concealer and finishing powder instead. ● Hide blemishes and dark spots with a light (not heavy) concealer. Apply with a small, flat brush. ● When applying foundation or concealer to the under-eye areas to hide dark circles, pay attention to the inner eye corners where shadows appear darkest. ● If you wear lip color, you need only a small amount of blush. For the most natural look, apply a cream formula with a short and round flat-topped brush to the apples of your cheeks, blending it in with circular motions.

For Eyes

● Select lighter or neutral shades (light gray, nude, beige) of eye shadow for a soft look. Apply to lids only. Using just one shadow color looks natural and flattering. If you wish to create more depth, choose a slightly darker shade as a base. Apply to the crease of the lid, blending it out. ● For the most natural look, avoid eyeliner. It adds sharpness to the eyes and is best saved for an evening look. If you use it during the day, opt for a softer shade like brown instead of a harsher hue like black.

For Lips

● For a dramatic yet polished appearance, select lip color that is bright yet translucent. ●
