NATURAL MAKEUP

Now in days, it is all about defining your features in a soft way.  You want people to say, "You look great! Not, Your makeup looks great." 

Finding your perfect shade or shades, does not have to be hard!  Choose colors that come close to matching your skin tone.  Use a shadow quad so you can blend colors, and a cream blush that mimics your natural flush.  For example, for fair skin, use light pink.  For peach or medium skin and on darker skin, use a brick red and brown combo.  When choosing lipsticks, choose colors that are close to your own lip color. 

Applying like a pro.  Use a brush to apply nude shadow to lids and blend well.  Add a slightly darker shade to your eye creases.  Apply the lightest shadow in your quad to the innder corners of the eyes and brow bones.  Finish with a gloss or creamy lipstick and blush on the cheeks. 

Wear it with.  Use a satin finish or mattifying foundation where needed.  Add mascara for definition and volume and brown liner around the lash line. 

Tip:  Shaggy brows on a unibrow can overpower your eyes and make them seem smaller.  The inner edge of your brow should start directly above your nostrils.  Comb brows out on a slant and fix with brown gel or a dab of hair gel.  This plumps out skinny brows and makes thick brows look more polished.

Look Into My Eyes

The focal point of your makeup this season is your eyes.  Although it is a classic, the smokey eye is out and in full force.  This is partly because there are many new pencils that have the intensity and staying power of liquid with the ease and blending ability of a pencil.  Many of the new eyeshadows are quads instead of the traditional trio, which helps give an extra punch to colorful eyes with shades of purple, blue, and green.  Here is an my guide or overview of the best shade for your skin tone, how to apply, and what to wear it with.  I hope that this guide will help you chose the right colors to make you look even more fabulous!
