Natural make up question?

I like the natural make up look but i want it to make as much impact as having lots of make up on. I don't really wear a lot of foundation but i feel like i look ugly because of it, any ideas or tips?Natural make up question?
You don't need to wear a lot of foundation. Make sure you've got a blusher that is complimentary to your skin tone (more pink for lighter skin tone more red for a darker) and brush on your cheek bones, work up the sie of your face up to about eye level and a quick swipe on the nose chin and forehead.





Use a light brown eyeshadow on the eye sockets and blend in with a white base.





Use a brown eye liner just on the side of the eyes and a brown mascara.





Hope this helps xxxNatural make up question?
Understanding your own face, knowing what you want to accentuate, and/or downplay, will get your far with a natural makeup style.





Here are some tips:





Bronzer: it gives you a natural sun tanned glow without any of the damage the suns rays bring. No one knows your wearing any, but it makes an impact.


You can do this two ways. Either put it wear the sun naturally touches your face (this is a bit different for everyone). The general areas are: forehead, nose, cheeks, sometimes the chin, then a bit on your shoulders, and collarbone, back of the neck if your hair is up.


OR you can (while still staying in these areas) use it as a darker contour color. Like just below your cheekbones, to accentuate them. Or if you have a large forehead you want to visually size down, then apply up against your hairline around your forehead. For a wider nose you want to look thinner, apply along the sides of the nose instead of the top, etc...





Some people have separate dark natural colors like eyeshadows and powders that they use for contouring, but most people don't have the money to invest in many different types of makeup. I like to recommend a good bronzer as a double up for these people.





Use concealer to spot blemishes and use a bit of light powder to help oil in the t-zone. With the bronzer over it, it will look quite natural. You won't get the coverage that foundation offers, but you will get a light coverage that is nearly undetectable. If you feel foundation isn't good on you, this is a great alternative. Another (although this is more expensive) is to go to a place like Nordstrom or a big department store that has makeup counters and buy a good quality tinted moisturizer. If you want a tinted moisturizer that will actually be beneficial, you need to invest money into it. you will regret skimping on cost for a product like this.





Use a light shimmery (not sparkly) eyeshadow as a highlight on the top of you cheekbones, just below your brows on your brow bone, and over your tear well (where the nose curves/connects with the eyelid). use a bit of water in the shadow to help intensify the shine, if desired.


This needs to be done very subtly on the cheek bone if you are using bronzer as well.





You can use a warm blush instead of a bronzer, but it needs to be subtle as to not make your face appear really pink. But a bit of blush can help add a healthy look to your skin when you apply it just right.





For eyeshadows, use a tone that is just lighter than your skin tone. apply it on your eyelid up to the crease (you can see it if you squint, it is the place where your lid folds over when your eye is open).


Use a dark eyeliner around your lashes and smugde/blend it up into the eyeshadow just a bit, so there is not a harsh line. Use maybe a brown instead of black.





Apply mascara. I always recommend using black, no matter how light your skin and hair color is.





I know a lot of more complicated natural eyeshadow applications that have a lot more impact, but I wanted to keep things more simple. So if you want to know any more, send me an email.





Oh, apply a good natural pinkish lipgloss too. Don't ever neglect your lips, they definitely are an easy way to make a big impact.





The best advice of all is to always blend really well! If you decide to experiment with your makeup, don't ever get discouraged until it is completely finished. When I do smoky eyes with crazy colors like green, it looks really wierd until I have it all finished, and then it look great. The same applies to many makeup styles. It may not look totally right, until you are finished.





Good luck!
Vichy Area Teint foundation lets the skin breathe, you and nobody else will know you're wearing it. Not available in every shop though, try your local drugstore or pharmacist. As for the rest of the natural look, use light and natural colours, a light shade for eyeshadow, don't use too much eyeliner, let it fade nicely and use a brown mascara if you really want to look all natural.
i don't really get what you're saying. you want to put lots of makeup on but make it look natural? by wearing lots of makeup people are going to notice, so you can't really make it look natural. all i can suggest is that you get a foundation that is perfectly your skin colour, so if you put alot on, then it doesn't make you look orange. don't apply too much eyeliner or mascara, then it should be quite natural.
Maybe if uu use a mineral powder foundation as this will give uu soft lookin skin and will not do any damage such as clog pores. Then use a natural colour of powder eyeshadow that suits ur skintone and eyes, a bronze shade suits most people and looks very nice. U do not hav 2 but if uu want before puttin ur eyeshadow on uu can use a cream base eyeliner cream (I would go for just miss sporty as its cheap and it dous the job) put this on ur eyelid and make sure uu get the lightest one there so uu cannot see the colour of it comin threw. This is so the eyeshadow sticks and it makes the colour 'pop'. Then put mascara on and finish with a nude lipgloss x





Hope this helped x
Neutral colours are good, although this depends on your skin tone. For eyes, browns are good, as the define but not over do it. Use light brown eye shadow, and a little black or brown mascara. For the skin, perhaps a tinted moisturisers or a light powder, and then brush a tiny bit of blusher over your cheek bones. Lips, maybe a clear/light pink gloss, although again this depends on your colouring. Ask a beauty assistant in a shop for your ideal colours, or look it up on the internet. :)
Try mineral makeup. It's very light, but it provides nice coverage. If you want to build up with layers, you can always add on more to your liking. I'm sure you don't look ugly, but this might help. (: Bare escentuals has great mineral makeup.





Good luck.
Wear just some mineral foundation and mascara and lip glos and you'll look natural but clean and pretty!





I use the Hollywood mineral foundation from LA Minerals, Loreal double extend mascara, and lots of different lip stuff.
