Tips For Natural Makeup Looks
Follow these tips for an easy natural makeup look
Makeup was designed to enhance beauty, not to overpower it. These tips for natural makeup were designed in order prevent you from looking like you are wearing too much makeup. Remember, less is more, and you can achieve the ultimate in natural beauty without piling on the products. You will have people wondering if you even have any makeup on at all.
When applying foundation, mix your application sponge with a few drops of water in order to dilute the solution. This is one of the best tips for natural makeup because it helps the foundation blend better onto your skin and avoids that caked-on look. In addition, it saves you product because you do not have to use as much foundation on a daily basis, since you are mixing it with water. Also, try to find a foundation that blends exactly into your skin. One mistake many women makes is choosing a foundation that is either too dark for them or too light, causing them to appear washed out. Trying to find the right color? Make sure you are testing shades in natural light, and if the color disappears onto your skin, that is a sure sign that you have found the right color.
Another one of the top tips for natural makeup looks is to use tinted moisturizer in lieu of foundation. Tinted moisturizer still offers ample coverage without covering your face in a thick layer of color. Try Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 20. This sheer, lightweight formula can be used in place of a foundation and gives your skin a more natural coverage, while providing some protection against the sun. They also offer an oil-free formula, for those that suffer from acne or breakout prone skin.
Eye makeup can be the most dramatic part of a look. Only applying eyeliner on the top lid, wearing brown mascara instead of black, and opting for neutral eye shadow tones are some other tips for natural makeup around the eyes. When applying lipstick, take a moment to dap your lips with a napkin or paper towel in order to make your lips look more natural. Benefit Benetint Lipstain is another great alternative for a natural look, by making your lips appear as if their natural color is a light red. You can also use tinted lip balm for a softer, less dramatic look.

I will be trying to add water to my foundation soon. I do like using tinted moisturizers for spring and fall.
