"Natural" Makeup



This is camera ready makeup. If you ever need to do an interview or are doing a movie, this is what you are most likely going to look like. No matter how “natural” you think people are on tv or movies, they always have some sort of makeup on. The only problem I am having with this is finding the right blush. Tip: For hispanic skin tones, you don’t want to do a pink based blush, something red based, it looks better and compliments your skin tone. First, you don't want any foundation on or powder. You want to start with your eyes and contour. Anything you want to excentuate go ahead and go for it. Use your facial features to your advantage, show what makes you stand out the most. With eyes, you want to use light eyeliner on both the bottom and top lids but do not go all crazy with it. The idea is to look natural. Eyebrows, use an eyebrow pencil and lightly shade them in, you want them to look somewhat full but not bushy. The pencil is to just shade in the empty spaces in your brow. Then take some translucent powder to make what you have on stay on. Now you add the blush, most people just do a lined motion onto the cheek but the proper way to do it is do a circle on the apple of your cheek, and don't go crazy, just a little to make it look like you have some color in your cheeks and not dead. Dab a little on your chin and a little on your temples. Now for the lips, find the most natural color you can find to line your lips and find the most natural lipstick you can find. Red is not natural, no one has luscious red lips. Once you have that done, put a little more translucent powder on and then you are done. You are now ready for your close ups.
