How to Get a Natural Makeup Look in 6 Steps

This article will provide tips on how to achieve a soft natural makeup look that is perfect for daytime or evening.

Instructions
Step
1Before applying makeup always make sure your face is clean. Start off using your normal facial cleanser. Rinse your face as usual but follow it up with splashes of cold water. This will immediately reduce morning puffiness and will tighten your pores.

Step
2Next apply moisturizer that is formulated for day use. These typically are more lightweight than moisturizer intended for nighttime use. Let the moisturizer soak in completely.

Step
3 Next brush on loose powder mineral makeup. Almost every brand name out there now carries makeup in loose powder form. This makeup is extremely easy to use especially if you use a large brush to apply it. It is a good idea to make sure it is dermatologist tested and noncomedogenic. Physicians Formula makes Mineral Wear that is excellent.

Step
4Next apply a single coat of mascara. A soft brown or black depending upon your natural eyelash color is best. One coat allows lashes to look natural yet longer without too many clumps.

Step
5Line the lower eyelids with a brown or charcoal color pencil eyeliner. Use the end of the pencil or the attached smudger to soften the line. Remember less is more. No raccoon eyes!

Step
6Finally a soft shiny lip gloss with a clear or light tint finishes the look. No reds and nothing heavy will maintain a more natural look.
