Natural Make Up Tips? HELP.?

It's my yearbook photo tomorrow and for ages now i have been trying to make my make up look natural and effortless.





I'm having some trouble!


Anyone got any tips?Natural Make Up Tips? HELP.?
Here's what to do, it'll work with any skin type, I promise (I have oily, acne-prone skin and it works for me, so do not fear the oil and moisture):





1. When you wake up in the morning, exfoliate your face. If you don't currently have any face exfoliate, just use baking soda. Be careful when applying it to your face, since it is a very effective scrub. Massage the baking soda into your skin for ten to fifteen seconds and rinse.





2. Afterwards, cleanse lightly with a very gentle cleanser to calm and return some water back into the skin. If you don't currently have a gentle gel or liquid cleanser, blend up 4 large pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, doesn't matter) with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Once blended, put it on your face and massage with fingertips for a couple minutes then wash off and pat dry.





3. Moisturize. Get a face moisturizer and apply it to 100% clean and dry face. If you don't have a face moisturizer go buy one. If you don't have time, just use a regular moisturizer, though it may make you break out later in life.





4. Apply foundation. If you have liquid make-up, then mix it with your moisturizer and apply, skipping step 3. If you have powder, dip your brush into the powder and rub in the palm of your hand until it is evenly distributed throughout your brush, then brush on face.





5. Blush. Extremely lightly apply it to your cheeks, never use a lot, always a little. I would recommend a cream blush, but use what you've got.





6. Translucent powder. Get a 100% translucent, no-color-added, loose powder and apply it with a brush in the same fashion as you would apply powder foundation.





7. Mascara. Put a moisturizer (any kind) on your eyelashes and just rub it on until it's clear, it'll make your lashes look thicker and keep them healthy. Then curl your eyelashes and apply black mascara, 1-2 coats. Do not apply on bottom lashes. Before applying Mascara, take it out of the container and rub the mascara wand on a paper towel to get rid of overload extra mascara. When you put it on, do it from the roots in a zigzag then go straight up. Then get a 100% clean mascara wand, go through your eyelashes and go straight up as if you were applying it again and zigzag to separate lashes. It'll flake off extra mascara, too, which can make you look fake.





8. Eyeshadow. Take your translucent powder and a small brush and apply the powder to your eyelids as if it were eyeshadow, then take a colored powder that is extreemly close to your skin tone (can be your foundation if you have powder foundation) and apply that on the eye lid.





9. Lips. Get ChapStick True Shimmer in Botanical Berry for a slightly tinted color and some shimmer. If you don't have time to go buy this, then just use whatever lip stick/balm/chap/gloss you have laying around and use it.





10. You are good to go!!!!Natural Make Up Tips? HELP.?
Use a yellow shadow on the eyes, it will eliminate any dark colors and neutralize the eye. Use a dark brown in the crease, brown eyeliner along the lash line ONLY, not on the water line, which can look harsh. Use a brown mascara and only apply it to the top lashes (this helps you look more awake, also).
earth tones!


no crazy eye shadow


keep eye liner down to a minimum. no raccoon eyes


dont go for a glossy lip, more of a shimmer is good. if anything, wet ur lips a little before ur picture. lol


keep ur hair down. brush it before ur picture.


check ur eyebrows. many people over look them, but they're good for a nice structure to ur face. pluck the strays (but no more then that, you dont want to have an eyebrow mishap before ur school picture) and darken them a little if needed


practice ur smile. smile sweetly, think of something nice. not happy or funny, just nice. and smile sweetly. yes u should show a little teeth
This make-up video will help heaps I'm pretty sure.
