No Make up- Make up Look

     Make up is all about bringing out the beauty that is already there. Each and every one of us is naturally beautiful with out make up this is a way to exenuate a feature that you love. We may not believe it all the time, so if you want a no makeup look that is easy and effortless looking here are some easy steps.


STEP 1: Concealer and Foundation
You want to brighten up your face, a great way to do that is to use concealer under you eyes and into your inside tear duct corner where it tends to be dark.
You don't want to cake on foundation since you are looking for a natural beauty look. If you have some trouble areas use your concealer then use some foundation on the outer parts of your face then brush a little to the center. This will give a luminous look and keep your face looking glowing.

STEP 2: Natural Shadow
Eye shadow in this look is not about being able to see it right away, it is more an agent to help brighten your eyes and keep them as a focus with out the normal about of shadow. This is accomplished by using light natural colors with some shimmer to them like beiges and peaches. Apply only to lid up to crease(lightly).

STEP 3: Liner and Smudging
If any of you watch my video tutorials you know I am all about the soft liner look by smudging it, this is no different. Liner in this look is all about defining your eyes not making them overly done. 
Apply a thin line of a light brown or bronze as close to your lash line as possible, it is okay if it is not straight since you will be smudging it. 
Get a smudge brush( you can find in my  Makeup Brush Essentials blog and video Brush Essentials ) us the brush to go over liner and smudge it for a soft look.

STEP 4: Mascara
Use your normal mascara but less then normal, use a lash brush to help keep lashes looking natural and not clumped together. Less is more in this look.

STEP 5: Lips
Since this is a natural look and you want to exenuate you natural look pick a gloss that goes with the tone of your lips ( You can find help with colors in my Lipstick/Lip Gloss-How to Find the Right Shade) This will pollish off your no make up - make up look.
