Looking natural, even with makeup is one of the latest trends today. In Hollywood, actresses are wearing the so called nude lips. Somehow, this natural look accents the beautiful face in another way. The purpose of this is just to eliminate the visibility of some blemishes, dark circles and the like. There are a few steps to do when applying makeup to achieve this look.

You will need foundation, blush, eye shadow and lipstick. The foundation is the first makeup that you will apply. This should depend on the color of your skin. If you have a fair complexion, you can use light foundations. For darker skin, light to medium tones work best. Apply a generous amount on your face and neck. You will know if you have the right color of foundation if it has a disappearing effect on your skin once applied.

For eye color, use earth colors like brown, olive green and the like. Apply just the right amount on the eyelids. If you want to use eyeliner, you could still do so, but just draw a line close to the upper lashes. For your blush, wear sheer colors for these look more natural than opaques. A little touch of color will look great, just like how you would look when you blush a little when it’s hot. Finally, for your lipstick, do not use bright reds or pinks. Once again, you must go light. You can also just wear lip gloss to complete your all natural look.
