Natural Beauty Makeup Tips In 8 Simple Steps:

Natural beauty makeup tips, are also very practical tips for chic style in the real world...most of us have fairly busy lives. We need a daily makeup routine that is
#1 simple-no complicated procedures or techniques,
#2 short- a 10 minute routine is reasonable,
and
#3 effective- it delivers a beautiful, natural look.

Start with a clean slate, following your skin care regimen, for the best and freshest looking results.

natural beauty makeup tips Step #2 Concealer and Foundation
Continue with your skin...the idea here is to use this type of makeup to create the appearance of an even tone.

a) Foundation-*Use a lightweight foundation or tinted moisturizer(*use bare minimum needed). This allows for freckles and natural coloring to come through.

* Natural Beauty Makeup Tips product suggestion If you need a good, light weight sheer foundation, try Sue Devitt 70% Triple Seaweed Gel Foundation.

b) Concealer-Followed by concealer on trouble spots ie. dark circles in the eye area, broken capillaries around the nose, pimples etc.

* Natural Beauty Makeup Tips product suggestion If you need a good multi purpose concealer consider award winner Philosophy Supernatural Airbrushed.

Natural Beauty Makeup Tip: Color choice is critical to success. Look for yellow undertone, as close to natural skin shade as possible.

natural beauty makeup tips Step #3 Cheeks and Face
This makeup step is designed to bring dimension and color into play to generate the appearance of fresh, vibrant, glowing skin (if you are one of the lucky few, accentuate).

If your skin is on the oily side, you may prefer powder application here. Therefore, your next step would be, lightly dusting your entire face with translucent loose powder, followed then by blush.

* Natural Beauty Makeup Tips product suggestion NARS Powder Blush makes a particularly beautiful powder blush that has an intense range of shades that apply with a natural looking finish. It is a product of choice among makeup artists because of the pigment color and strength.

Otherwise, try using cream blushes for this step.

natural beauty makeup tips a) Blush Using blush is a two color step with the idea of recreating that youthful healthy glow.

Step I In zones A. and C. Use beige/ brown color grouping to build natural color dimension on your face (not contour).
Step II In zones A., *B. and *D. Use rose/ wine grouping to place more concentrated color in your natural blush zone (*zones B. and D. require a very subtle application.)

Makeup tip: Placement and blending is critical to avoid looking overdone. Using "ring" finger pad and a gentle touch, dot in the center of the correct zone, and then dab in a circular motion around the dot (area of concentration) to blend outward.

* Natural Beauty Makeup Tips product suggestion An excellent cream blush to try with a fantastic range of sheer pigments is Stila Convertible Color.

If you want to give that natural blush look some extra "umph", try Tarte Cheek Stain.

NARS The Multiple icon is a very cool multi purpose stick that adds radiance eyes, lips, cheeks and body and a highly recommended natural beauty makeup tips product to have in your makeup case.

Natural Beauty Makeup Tip: Again, color choice is critical to your success. Think in terms of colors that will work well with your skin tone, and 'er' on the side of natural shades that will enhance and blend into, not stand out on, your skin.

b) Bronzer in zones A, E, C and very subtly in zone D, is definitely optional, but when used with a very light touch, it can add that natural sun-kissed glow.

* Natural Beauty Makeup Tips product suggestionTwo great powder bronzers to try are Sue Devitt Triple Touch and/or blush bronzer duo Lorac Cheek Duo

Step #4 Facial Powder

If you have used cream application to here, it is time to set the skin makeup with translucent powder, and provide a good base for the makeup application to follow.

a) Loose Translucent Powder is the recommended choice. A light dusting, with strategic extra dusting on the eye lids and under the lower lash line. Use with caution. If you have any lines, fine or deep, powder will accentuate them.

b) Pressed Translucent Powder maybe preferred to really matte out shine, but just keep in mind that too matte is really not all that flattering and definitely not headed in the "glowing" skin department.

Makeup Tip: Stay away from powders that have too much color...the idea here is translucent and colorless on your skin, that simply acts to diminish shine, set makeup, and provide a good base to continue the next phase of makeup.

* Natural Beauty Makeup Tips product suggestion For a light weight colorless, loose translucent powder for all skin tones try Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Translucent and for pressed powder try Vincent Longo.

Step #5 The Eyes...

natural beauty makeup tips The eyes...clear, defined and bright.
Eye makeup should define and bring attention your eyes ie. the shape color, twinkle, your lashes etc., not the eye makeup itself.

natural beauty makeup tips shadow
1.light neutral
2.deeper neutral shade
*3. more intense pigment

pencil
4.dark liner
5. brow

a) Eye Shadow (optional).

Daytime- two matte neutral colors ie. light beige and a deeper taupe beige:
1.Brush lighter shadow over the upper eyelid including the crease and blend toward brow bone.
2.Brush deeper shadow using more narrow brush or narrow edge of brush, along the crease.

Shadow Under lower lash line is optional. If done subtly, there is soft shape emphasis and eye brightening. If done with prominence, there is definitely more drama depending on the shade's color and width.

3.*Plus third color for further eye definition-optional. Try shade to set off your eye color or one with satin finish. In the above, ochre was used to set off the model's blue eyes. Brush sparingly over central lid between lash line and crease, blending well to inner and outer corners. Also consider using sparingly under lower lash line to maximize setting off eye color.

* Natural Beauty Makeup Tips product suggestion If you are truly one who has a lot of difficulty choosing shades (and its a great idea even if you don't), consider Vincent Longo Eye Shadow Sun Moon Stars Trio's in an earthy palette complimentary to your eye color.

Night time- Night lighting is much more forgiving with skin than daylight, so makeup can be more experimental and dramatic. The choice is up to you. Neutral colors, can be matte or frosted adding deeper shadow to the crease and outer eye corners.
Highlighting the brow bone with a light shadow for dramatic emphasis.

Natural Beauty Makeup Tip: Skin tone flattering colors are important BUT blending is critical. As with most blending, there should be no identifiable line where eye shadow stops or starts, whether that's shadow to skin, or one shadow into another.

b) Eyeliner (optional)

Daytime

Upper lash line (4.) - Start with an eye pencil with these qualities: soft lead, sharply pointed, dark natural color. Then line the upper lash line, starting at the outer corner of the eye, and moving in short tiny strokes, side by side, towards the top of the eye, AS CLOSE TO THE LASH LINE AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE! The idea here is to create a thicker looking upper set of lashes, and to merge your line with the natural line of the lashes. If you opt to continue down the curve, to the inner corner of the eye, use the point of the liner, to create a very fine line.

* Natural Beauty Makeup Tips product suggestion Consider easy gliding Stila Kajal Eyeliner

Then take an eye makeup brush with a small, angled, firm bristled edge to gently soften and blend the pencil line, towards the lash line.

Lower lash line- Using a light neutral color (light brown or taupe), that creates more of a shadow tone effect, line under the lower lashes from the outer corner, to the inner corner. This can be accomplished with pencil or shadow. Changing the thickness of the line will create different effects, so experiment since the nature of your individual appearance will dictate what compliments your eyes. For example, I start thin and close to the lash line at the outside, and then thicken the line at the center point, and thin it again by the time I reach the inner corner.

Once again, use an eye makeup brush, to blend and soften the appearance of the line. Depending on the preferred line thickness, use either a fine thin edged brush, or thicker medium eye makeup brush size edge.

Natural Beauty Makeup Tip: DO BLEND to soften the harsh lines.

Night time-Heavier application to both upper and lower lash lines can be done to achieve more definition and drama.

c) Eye Lash Curler- *Natural beauty makeup tips 'must have'. Using this tool makes a huge difference. It opens the eye to not only have the eye seem larger, it will also create more of a presence of eyelashes. Make sure you do this carefully, BEFORE THE MASCARA, with a sponge edged eyelash curler.

Looking directly into the mirror, maneuver the open curler towards the base of your upper lashes. Close gently to the point of a slight pull, NOT tug, on your eyelashes. Count to three and gently open and maneuver away from the eye.

d) Mascara- I don't think it is optional on the upper lashes. It makes such a difference on everyone and it doesn't have to be thick and heavy.

I think black is best for almost everyone, unless you are exceptionally fair (use black/brown). Also brush choice will be determined by your eye lash length and thickness. Use a thick long bristled mascara wand if your eyelashes are short and sparse for optimal mascara formula application, and a smaller less dense bristled wand for optimal mascara formula application to longer, thicker eyelashes.

* Natural Beauty Makeup Tips product suggestion Your eyelashes will determine the best wand/formulation in mascara, but here is one for your consideration Sue Devitt Microquatic Luxury Lash Mascara

Natural Beauty Makeup Tips For Mascara Application:

#1 Start at the base of your lashes and wiggle the wand slightly to have the mascara bristles grip and coat as many lashes as possible, as the wand wiggles up, towards the tips. Wiggling the wand slightly may sound strange, but it works. You may have to experiment a couple of times, but once you get the hang of it, you will maximize your lash potential.

#2 Don't put too many coats on. Doing the preceding well, twice, plus reworking the outer eye corner lashes, is really enough.

#3 Be strategic in how much you apply, if you apply, to your lower lashes. Holding the wand vertically will allow more precision placement, and a stroke by stroke assessment of how much looks good to you.

#4 Definitely finish with a brush to separate lashes and remove any clumps.

Step #6 The Eyebrows

Eyebrows (5. on above diagram)- Don't overlook the importance of grooming the eyebrows.
Whether you want the look of natural or groomed, they need to be shaped to frame the eyes and help balance your face, strays kept in check, and brushed into place.

To define, fill out sparse or over plucked brows, use a fine tip sharp eyebrow pencil that matches your brow color and carefully stroke short lines where needed. Use a brush to soften lines and assist blend into natural brow.

Or try an eyebrow kit like Anastasia Brow Kit which includes four stencils, tweezers, brush and gel.

* Natural Beauty Makeup Tips product suggestion There are lots of products to meet your special needs...Anastasia is a specialist in eye brow makeup products, and Tweezerman, of coarse, has great tweezers.

Step #7 The Lips...
The mouth and lips are extremely important. It is the difference between mediocrity and beauty style with impact. They, like the eyes, are the focus of communication with others and positive aesthetics, definitely enhance communication power.

Lip Liner I don't think this is optional unless you have strong natural lip color. It is critical for generating a strong lip line and lip shape. Choose two colors; one that resembles your own lip color with a slightly brown undertone and one that works well with your lipstick.

* Natural Beauty Makeup Tips product suggestion NARS Lipliner pencil in Borneo

Makeup Tip: Lining your lips well can be tricky business. How you hold the pencil and the angle of the pencil lead on your lips will change the thickness of the line, potentially creating the look of imbalance. It is best to follow your natural line as closely as possible, and line in a symmetrical manner ie. If you start at right outer corner on lower lip, line to center of lower lip and then start again, at left outer corner of lower lip and line to center point where you left off.

natural beauty makeup tips b) Lipstick Lipstick brings that finishing touch to makeup and sets off the palette of colors used. Whether they are neutral and subtle, or bright and energetic, they are completing and enhancing a particular makeup style.

* Natural Beauty Makeup Tips product suggestion Vincent Longo Lipstain SPF15

* Natural Beauty Makeup Tips product suggestion If you like sheer, which especially suits this natural chic style, NARS Lipstick has a gorgeous lineup of sheer shades.

Although easiest to apply straight from the tube, I find lipstick application is most accurate and smooth when you use a lip brush (also great for blending several shades).

Using a lip brush, soften lip liner edges with the tip edge of the brush and then small strokes, apply tube color to your lips.

Makeup Tip: Lipstick with staying power...When it comes to lipstick application, put on a single layer that gives good coverage and then carefully rub your upper and lower lips together. Follow this by taking a kleenex and gently pressing your lips together in a biting fashion. Then take your translucent powder and lightly dust for staying power. Add an additional light lipstick layer and gently press lips together to ensure a smooth, even, creamy finish. Add a clear gloss over this.

Step #8 The Finishing Touches....

Natural Beauty Makeup Tips: Using a Q-tip, check the inner corners of your eyes for mascara or makeup, and also, check the eye area for speckles or residual eye shadow dust.

Using a kleenex, gently stroke facial areas with excess powder or color, to soften the appearance of the makeup and create an overall impression of balance.

Natural beauty makeup tips is a great guide for overall good makeup application, but especially for that 'natural beauty chic'. To really complete this look will also need attention to detail beyond makeup.
