i would love to have a more natural look, but i'm so used to seeing my face all made up. without eyeliner, i feel like i look boyish. i wanna look natural, but i don't know if i have the confidence or the right face (i guess that's how you would put it) to pull it off. any tips?Natural make-up.?
I've used Mary Kay since I was a teen, and I just switched to Bare Minerals this year, and I love them. I found a deal on Ebay.Natural make-up.?
use bare minerals
really thin eyeliner, light lip gloss (or just lip balm), and neutral shades of eyeshadow ONLY. I love the natural look for myself too!
erm..apply a foundation..eyebrow liner,eyeliner and don;t forget to apply the mascara too...
just cuz you don't wear makeup doesn't mean that you look boyish
You have to wean yourself off makeup slowly. This way others don't notice so much either.
Leave off the eyeshadow first for a week, then the next week leave off your foundation and at the same time, wear your eyeliner very light.
Ideally, you should be down to concealer, a bit of dark eyeshadow used as eyeliner, mascara, blush and lip gloss (translucent powder too if you're shiney)
depends on your skin tone. are you very lite skin, like pale, kinda lite, medium, tan, or african? just try pinks and tans if your caucasian. It works out good! I used to wear eyeliner all the time, i tried that and it was great!!
just be yourself. thats all natural.
When I do natural makeup, I use a neutral colored eyeshadow with a little shimmer. Maybe a soft brown or pale yellow? I wear mascara, but no eyeliner. And I'm the eyeliner queen. If you feel the need to wear eyeliner, wear it only on the waterline, and not on your lid. For blush, I would use something with a little glow to it, for the whole dewey look. Mac beauty powders or mineralize skinfinishes are awesome for that. Curl your lashes though, and try to get the entire length of them. Big, beautiful lashes are awesome when you're doing the natural look!
oh my gosh i totally hear you, i had the exact problem! first try toning it down, do your same makeup but less and less. very light eyeshadow, light eyeliner, do alot less then gradually switch to a natural shade like brown and do the same thing, just try less and less each time. im sure you dont look boyish, and you should still wear eyeliner just alot less will help you look natural. remember lighter shades and less is really more!
EVERYBODY should use natural makeup! What I do everyday is this:
1)Wash my face with warm water.
2)Put on Johnson's Baby Oil.
3)GENTLY put shadow on your cheeks, [for a more natural look, I would reccomand red blush.]Pat it gently!!
4)Eyeshadow: Put Vaseline on your fingertip, and then gently spread it on your eyelid, and under your eye.
5)Apply a light color of eyeshadow to your eyes.
6)Mascara: People overreact with this:Don't put pounds of mascara on. Just enough to curl it.
7)Eyeliner: Stop using it! The chemicals get into your eyes, and when your older, you can be blinded.
8)Lips: Brush it gently with a protective lip balm/chapstick. Then put on lipstick. I would suggest orange to peach colors of wet lipstick, not the dry one you twist out!!!
If you want beautiful skin when your older, I would suggest you do this!!!
You might just be used to seeing makeup on your face. Or just stronger colours.
Ease yourself out of it. Pick one feature to make up, instead of putting makeup on eyes, lips, cheeks and skin.
For example, one day, put on liner and mascara, and clear lip gloss.
Another day, put on lipstick and a touch of mascara.
Another day, dust your entire face lightly with bronzer and finish with pink lip gloss.
Think in moderation, instead of making up everything all at once, all the time.
First of all, make sure you pluck any stray hairs below your brows. You have a natural arch, so bring that out. Don't pluck it too thinly, because it takes away from your face.
With good brows, even when you don't wear a stitch of makeup, you will still look polished.
Better yet, go to a professional, get it done, and then maintain the upkeep by yourself.
Good tweezers:
Tweezerman slant head tweezers
Use a good eye lash curler, like one from MAC or Shu Uemura, and your eyes will look wide awake, even without mascara.
Good mascaras: anything by L'oreal, Maybelline, or Cover Girl Lash Exact. Lancome Hypnose is good too.
And finish with your fave lipgloss or lipstick, and a dusting of powder if you face is shiny.
