5 Basic Natural Makeup Tips For The Face

Natural Makeup Tips
Natural makeup is not just about applying gloss and a foundation that matches your skin colour. There is indeed much more to it. The first misconception about this kind of face makeup is that it downplays your beauty. On the contrary, it is supposed to accentuate your best points. Moreover, natural make up does not mean that you make yourself look unglamorous. The idea is to wear makeup but make it look like you haven"t and thus are naturally perfect.

Like all makeup tricks this one too creates an illusion; all you need is some relevant make tips to pull it off. Here are 5 of those most basic make up tips to look natural and get drop dead gorgeous.

5 Basic Natural Makeup Tips:

1. Flawless Skin A Dream? Why you can achieve it easily by doing face makeup that does not stand out! It is a misnomer that you need to have flawless skin to carry off this kind of makeup. Just because it looks natural does not mean there is no makeup at all. So you can make your skin appear flawless with this kind of makeup. Chose a flesh tones foundation or use a concealer exactly the same colour as your skin your acne marks, dark spots, etc. The compact powder too must support the illusion by adding nothing but a faint glow.

2. No Rosy Cheeks: If you slap on rouge on your cheeks like a Chinese doll then you will mess up the entire premise of this make up. Only unsophisticated pan cake makeup makes use of such ploys. Highlight your cheek bones with gold or bronze powder for that shimmer and nothing else. You could also choose to get yourself a tanned look by choosing shade slightly darker than your skin colour for cheek highlighting.

3. Lip That Speak: No, you need not wear just gloss. In fact, you should avoid wearing gloss that is so easily noticeable. Paint your lips with a nude lip colour that is closest to your complexion, maybe a shade darker or lighter. You simply must use a lip liner while doing natural makeup or else your lips will become indistinct. Use a darker liner line brown if the lip colour is darker and a faint silver one if the tint is lighter than your complexion.

4. Eyes That Tell Tales: Natural beauty tips dictate that eyes should be dark and sharp. You can make them smoky and mysterious by applying the right kind of makeup. Brown, be it a dark shade or a faint wood polish brown is your best choice if you are fair. For dusky beauties dirty grey or smoky brown is the best bet.

5. Shadow Of Your Eyes: Your eye shadow should be the exact colour of the shadow of your eyeliner. Go for rust brown and smudges smoky black over your eyelids to carry through the look to perfection.

These makeup tips will help you look stunning with natural makeup.
