Fresh & Natural Verla International
From smoky eyes to a ruby, red lip, nothing says glamour like a full face of skillfully applied makeup. However, there are times when less is more. Aside from the latest trends, there are ways to make a powerful statement without looking made up. Follow along for six easy ways to look fresh-faced and glowy without the fuss.
Get Primed Excluding going without makeup the best way to achieve a natural look starts with what’s underneath. Primer evens out skin tones and also helps to set any other makeup you apply.
Primer helps to keep makeup in place all day without smearing or wearing off. With so many different kinds on the market, it’s important to choose primer that’s multi-purpose. Look for ones that minimize pores, even out skin tone and give a natural glow.
Paint the Canvas After primer, the next step is applying foundation. Since most people want to achieve the look of flawless skin, applying foundation the right way is a must. Start with the smallest amount needed to give coverage and blend appropriately. When it comes to foundation or a tinted moisturizer, a little goes a long way. If possible, apply in natural light.
Contour and Define Creating a natural look means accentuating the positive. Use contour to highlight cheekbones and slim the jawline. Use light sweeping motions upward towards the temples and apply highlighter to the tip of the nose and right above the cupid’s bow.
Brow Wow Nothing sets off someone’s face like sculpted eyebrows. However, when it comes to filling in eyebrows, only the lightest touch is needed. Fill in any sparse areas and make sure to pay close attention to the arches.
Barely There Eyeshadow Makeup lovers don’t need to forego eyeshadow to create a natural look. Warm brown hues on the lids add a touch of contrast to a nearly nude face. Use two shades that are close in color with the darker on the upper lid close to the lash line. The lighter shade can be swept upward toward the brow for a lifting effect.
Lip Paint Finish of the look by sweeping natural matte lipstick with only a hnt of color. Tinted lip balm also works well to compliment natural lip color. Pale pinks and peach work best with most skin tones.And there you have it! A quick and simple “no makeup� makeup look that will highlight your natural beauty!
