Enhancing Your Natural Beauty With Makeup

Start with a Clean Face
If you want your makeup to end looking the best it possibly can, it's not just important, but vital you start with very clean skin. Otherwise, it's like painting a dirty house or waxing a floor without cleaning it first. You're just putting something on to cover up the dirt and it will usually show through.

Find a good and natural cleansing product that doesn't leave your skin feeling dry and dehydrated. Depending on how oily your skin naturally is, you may need to use an astringent to really clear it up, but don't go overboard. You want to bring your skin to its natural state, not overly dry and not overly oily.

Lighted Makeup Mirrors

You may not have considered this before, but any professional makeup artist is going to use a lighted makeup mirror. The perfection in makeup application is found when you focus on the details. It would be like painting a beautiful picture in a dimly lit room. You're never going to be able to get the fine detail that makes for a stunning look if you can't see those details.

When considering a lighted makeup mirror, don't go for the cheaper models with the fluorescent bulbs. There is no way you're going to be happy with your look when it's under the unflattering lighting provided by these fluorescents. As a matter of fact, go with the most natural light bulbs you can afford. Again, the professional makeup artists are sparing no expense in this area and it's for a good reason.

Building a Foundation that's Natural

Your makeup foundation is meant to conceal your minor imperfections not to cover your face with an unnatural coating. This is sometimes difficult to communicate, since we're all looking for that perfectly smooth complexion. Unfortunately, the more you try to achieve that look, the less natural your complexion will look.

If you think the heavier the makeup, the better you'll look, think again. A good number of the people you see on TV are using an airbrush to apply their makeup. That's so they can put on the lightest most natural coating possible. It's not the quantity of makeup that makes you look amazing.

Accentuate Your Natural Beauty

Thankfully, for most of us, the days of plucking out all of your eyebrows and drawing them in with a pencil are long gone. That doesn't mean you can't groom and shape your eyebrows to help accentuate the natural look of your face. The same rule applies for the rest of your face. You don't want to change your appearance, just enhance it. Don't try making your lips look fuller with an extremely dark lip liner. If you are going to use liner, go one or maybe two shades darker and that's it.
