The truth is there is a real art to making this look sizzle and we see this look delivered with mastery by celebs like Jennifer Aniston and "über" models like Gisele Bündchen.

The secret to the look of effortless, fresh, sexy  natural beauty? 

Effort.  

Don't get me wrong.  Obviously there is some significant natural beauty behind Jennifer and Gisele, but they, and other natural beauty chic mavens, are accentuating what they have, with finesse and skill.  To really know how to accentuate one's own beauty takes some time to really figure it out, vision and planning.  Believe me, there is effort every morning before departure into their day. 

Strategy And Attention To Detail.  These natural chic mavens have taken stock of their beauty strengths and weaknesses and determined exactly what will maximize their own beauty power.  You will have to do the same.  The trick is keeping the enhancements subtle and undetectable so you see the beauty not the makeup.

Eye makeup and other makeup needs to be applied with practiced precision using techniques and a color palette that will enhance your features beyond real and into radiant; glowing skin, sparkling eyes, sexy full lips, shiny soft hair, white teeth.

So how do you do learn to achieve this natural beauty eye makeup chic?

Here is a  "Step by Step" Guide to Application Strategies For Eye Makeup and More:

Remember, your objective here is fresh beauty details and subtle, yet effectively strategic, feature enhancing makeup.  Place an emphasis on attention to details like great color choices, blending,  and feature strengthening placement. 

Below is a neutral color palette that will work for many types of coloring...

		eye shadow: "enlighten" "olive" "jade"		face: cheek stain  "sun kissed"
				multi- purpose stick in "copacabana" and "antibes" (used on eyes, cheeks, and lips)
		liner: "black", "kahaki"		lip pencil: "neutron" lip color: "antibes" multi purpose stick and "jessamine" lip gloss
		mascara: "black" or "black/brown"

Start With Skin

Focus on natural looking skin enhanced with blush and bronzers for radiance...

The Eyes  

For eye makeup that has natural beauty chic, blending is especially important since the idea here is looking natural.  Use shadow and pencil liner tones that compliment your eye color and skin tone, as well as, define your eyes.

On translucent powder dusted eyelids apply eye makeup (for dry base and staying power):

1. Eye shadow:  Light earth tone shade shadow from upper lash line blended into brow bone. Medium shade of same color family blended in crease area of upper lid and just under lower lash line (thickest line under middle of lower lashes that tapers and gently blends out to corners). 

For more definition, try dark shade of same color family placed close to and along upper lash line, plus for emphasis, under center of lower lash line .  Be careful, too much can move from the subtle definition of natural beauty chic eye makeup to a harder edge eye makeup style.
TRY this fabulous brush to soften and blend lines NARS Makeup Brush, Smudge. 

TRY LORAC Eye Shadow in three shades like these; "Enlighten", "Olive" and"Jade" (shown above).

Don't forget that using good quality tools make all the difference in the world in terms of professional flawless finish.  In this case, make sure you have a good set of quality  makeup brushes.  For a a good review of the essentials, click here.

2.  Liner:  For stronger lash line, replace dark shadow shade with dark pencil liner placed very close to upper lash line and blended with a small firm bristled brush like above "Smudge".
TRY tarte double ended eyeliner in "Classic Black/Khaki" (avoid liner under the eyes for natural beauty look).

3. Be sure to use a good eyelash curler to make the eyes as large and wide open as possible.  Apply shadow and liner eye makeup first, then curl and apply mascara.
TRY Tweezerman Eyelash Curler  

4.   Mascara:  Two coats of black, or black/brown mascara that is non clumpy, non flaky and keeps the look of naturally tapering lashes. Use very sparingly on lower lashes.
TRY L'Oreal Lash Out Lengthening and Separating Mascara, Black

Lips 

Mimic intense version of natural lip color to compliment natural beauty chic eye makeup.  Lined lips with sheer berry/brown tones often work well with gloss added for luscious sheen. 
1. Start with a lip primer to moisten and protect the lips.
TRY CARGO+care Lip Base .

2. Line lips with a shade as close to natural lip color as possible.
TRY DuWop Neutral Pencils For Lips, Neutron

3. Fill lips with a sheer lip shade and add clear gloss.
TRY NARS The Multiple  ("copacabana" and "antibes"  shown above), DuWop Venom Gloss For Lips, "Jessamine" and/ or DuWop Original Lip Venom Clear Lip Gloss.

A very hot look right now is very neutral, un-lined wet looking lips.
TRY CARGO Reverse Lipliner to create added fullness, NARS Sheer Lipstick, Belle du Jour, then apply gloss. 

Getting the eye makeup right is important, as is all attention to feature details, in this natural but sizzling beauty look.  Radiant skin, dazzling eyes, bright healthy smile, shiny hair, well chosen clothes will deliver a chic high on style and beauty.
