Makeup Application-how to Achieve a Stunning Daytime Natural Look With Makeup

Do you want to be a daytime diva?  Are you ready for a look that is great for all of your daytime activities?  Well, follow these steps for makeup application and achieve a stunning, yet natural daytime look.  This is perfect for everyday wear and will be appropriate from the boardroom to a stroll in the park. 

Use Tinted Moisturizer.  For easy daytime wear, use a tinted moisturizer instead of a crème, powder, or liquid foundation.  This is perfect for summer and will give your face a fresh dewy look.  To give your face an added punch of color, use a crème blush and get an “inner glow” look.  A great tinted moisturizer is LORAC’s ProtecTINT SPF 30 Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer, and our pick for a crème blush is NARS Crème blush. 

Add a Luscious Liner.  Many may think that wearing eyeliner will negatively affect the “natural look” that you are going for, but it will only add to the effect if you use this trick.  Apply liner to your upper lashes underneath instead of on top.  Cake liners are a safe bet if you are new to makeup application.  To apply, take an eyeliner brush and add the cake liner.  Next, gently push the color up and underneath the roots of your top lashes.  You have instantly created invisible definition and your eyes will look more open.  If you are the more advanced makeup wearer, a liquid liner works great as well.  A wonderful, eco-friendly liner is NVEY ECO Organic Cake Eyeliner.  A liquid liner that I recommend is Givenchy Parad’Eyes Fluid Eye Liner.  

Eye-Brightening Mascara.  Touches of mascara can be used as an eye brightener.  For women with light-eyes, layering brown mascara over blue will offer an eye brightening and more alert effect in a very subtle manner.  For dark-eyed women, layer brown mascara over green to achieve the same effect.  If you want volume that is buildable, Shu Uemura Precise Volume Mascara Waterproof is a customer favorite that works well with this technique. 

Finish with a Natural-Colored Lip.  A finishing touch to a natural face is at the center of the face, the lips!  Using a lip pencil all over instead of lipstick will look sheer, natural, and be long lasting.  You will want to use a natural colored lip pencil all over the lips, apply it in a light, feathering stroke to make it blend and almost disappear into the lips.  To seal in the pencil, add gloss without shimmer and you will have a flawless look.  Kevin Aucoin The Flesh Tone Lip Pencil and LORAC Gloss Stick are a dynamic duo that I always use.     

Use these four tips to achieve the best natural look possible.  Please note, as with any makeup technique, practice makes perfect.  So after the first few times of trying, you will be able to effortlessly achieve this look and give the cover models on magazines a run for their money!  As always, good luck and I know you will be a stunning daytime diva in no time.

Natural Eye Makeup for Summer

It is summer and it's time to get relaxed and enjoy the nice weather. Give your makeup a break and try the natural makeups. Specially if you have an oily skin. This will provide you a fresher look and a more attractive style. The most natural eye makeup is the one that stays at the basic makeup items: eyeshadow and mascara.

 First of all, have a proper skin care routine: clean, hydrate, treat, protect, and only than use makeup products. After the skin is completely clean and hydrated, get used to apply a sunscreen cream with a high protection factor. It is essential for keeping your skin young and to prevent age spots.

 After you prepared your skin for the makeup, choose the softest and warmer colors from your eye shadows. The colors are just as important as the way we apply them. Use light pink, blue, purple or golden shades to get the fresh look. Apply it on your upper eye lid and a thin line for the lower eye lid.

 Concerning the eye liner or eye pencil, choose the brown ones, you'll need a softer look to make sure it matches to your fresh style. Use it do define your eyes according to your eye shape. Of course, not using an eye pencil would be the best choice. But if you really “need” to use it, try to make it as unnoticeable as possible.

 The mascara should be waterproof, so that you can enjoy the summer in any situation: during work, at the beach or spending your day near a swimming pool. But pay attention when cleaning it off. It is harder than the usual mascara, and if you don't take it of carefully it may break your eyelashes. You can opt for using eye curler, but having a break from them will help you out in the winter season. The mascara should be lighter as well, so pick the brown shaded ones.

 Keep in mind to stick to the minimum: neutral shaded eye shadow and mascara. As lighter the makeup is, as fresher it looks. It will brighten your face and your entire look.

For the summer makeups, try to avoid foundations, use powder instead. A slight touch of blush and the lightest shade of gloss. Remember that the sun will make it's job so keep in mind that your skin needs protection and a very fresh look.

Natural Makeup Look Tips and Natural Pageant Makeup Tips - How to Get a Natural Makeup Look for Pageants, Weddings, Kids, Special Events and Everyday

Need ideas for creating a soft natural makeup look for everyday use, a Wedding or
Special Event, or for a Natural Pageant?  Outlined below are suggestions for a natural makeup application for three different age groups.

 
Natural makeup suggestions for younger girls: 

1.  Lip Gloss can smear easily on the face and dress, so if this will be a problem, instead of a Lip Gloss try using a Lip Liner pencil.  Simply turn the Lip Liner pencil tip on its side and ‘color in' the lips.  The drier consistency of the Lip Pencil will be less likely to smear.
2.  Using a soft medium-sized Blush Brush, apply a soft pink or peach high-pigment Blush to her cheeks, selecting a tone that will coordinate best with her dress color.
3.  Add sparkle to her eyes by applying a small amount of loose Eye Shadow Dust in an iridescent white, pink or peach to her eyelids.   
4.  If she can be very still, you can attempt to apply Mascara to her upper lashes.
 
 
Natural makeup suggestions for older girls:

1.  To start, dust the face lightly with a loose face powder.
2.  High-pigment Eye Shadows in neutral tones such as browns, beiges, pale pinks and soft peach tones will compliment her eyes without appearing heavy.  If choosing a pale pink or soft peach eye shadow to blend with the brown eye shadow, be sure to select the color that will best coordinate with her dress color.
3.  If she likes a little sparkle on her eyes, use a loose Eye Shadow Dust in a soft iridescent white, pink or peach on the eyelid to add shine.
4.  Lining the eyes along the top lash line with a brown Eye Liner pencil will help her eyelashes appear thicker.
5.  Finish the eyes with Mascara, applying from the base of the eyelashes to the tips.  Mascara can be applied to both top lashes and bottom lashes, if preferred.
6.  Using a soft medium-sized Blush Brush, add color to her cheeks with a soft pink or peach high-pigment Blush, selecting the one that will coordinate best with her dress color.
7.  A Lip Liner pencil can add definition to her lips, just be sure to apply a very soft line in a similar color tone as the Lip Gloss. 
8.  Finish with Lip Gloss to add shine.
 

Natural makeup suggestions for women:

1.  Apply a very lightweight liquid or powder-based foundation to ‘even out' the skintone.  Carefully select a tone that is an exact match for your skin - check that the color matches in natural daylight.
2.  For dark areas under the eyes, use an opaque concealer product for coverage - carefully pat it in the area.
3.  Blemishes can also be hidden by dotting an opaque concealer directly on the spot.
4.  Brush a loose powder softly over the foundation to 'set' it; this step will provide a smooth powder canvas for your powder eye shadows and powder blushers, and will help your colors stay fresher longer.
5.  If your brows are pale, use an Eyebrow product to softly define them.  Comb a clear Eyebrow Fixative product into the brows to help the eyebrow hairs in place.
6.  Next, use a brown Eye Liner pencil to line along the top of the lash line (you can also add a thin line under the outer corner of the eyes for added definition). 
7.  Using a sponge-tipped applicator, apply a high-pigment Eye Shadow in brown in the outer corner and crease of the eyelid.  Apply a pale pink or soft peach shadow on the lid.
8.  If you prefer shimmer on the eyelids, add a small amount of loose Eye Shadow Dust in a iridescent white, pink or peach to the eyelids.
9.  Apply Mascara to the eyelashes, from the base to the tips.  Mascara can be applied to both top and bottom eyelashes if preferred.
10.  Next, softly line the lips using a Lip Liner pencil, then fill in with a Lip Gloss in a similar tone.
11.  Apply high-pigment Blush to the cheeks using a soft medium-sized Blush Brush.  Use a light application, then add more until the desired effect is achieved.
 

 
Extra tip:  For a sun-kissed look, try sweeping a very small amount of high-pigment Blush in the crease of the eye, over your brown eye shadow.  Don't overdo!
 
Another tip for all ages:   For prettiest results, use Lip, Eye and Cheek tones of the same color family.  For example, use a peach blush with a peach lip gloss and a peachy-toned eye shadow to accent the brown eye shadow.
 

WHY select highly-pigmented makeup colors?   Makeup colors that look best for photography and stage are usually highly-pigmented, meaning they contain strong color pigments and are not sheer.  A highly-pigmented makeup color product will allow the user to apply a small amount to achieve a bit of color or it can provide darker, dramatic color when applied more heavily.  This allows flexibility for the user to achieve her preferred look.  Along with being longer-lasting, the strong color pigment in highly-pigmented makeup colors will hold up against the harsh lighting from cameras and stage lights (no washed-out, ghostly makeup looks).
