Make sure your face is clean and moisturized. Smooth makeup application starts with good skincare.
Find a lightweight foundation or tinted moisturizer that matches your skin tone. This evens skin tone without seeming cakey.
Use concealer only beneath the eyes and on imperfections. This enables your natural skin peek through without looking thick.
Minimize contouring for a natural look. Add definition to the cheekbones and jawline with a little bronzer or darker foundation.
Choose neutral eyeshadows that match your skin. Soft browns, taupes, and beige accentuate eyes without being overly strong.
Curling your lashes opens up your eyes and gives a fresh, awake appearance. Follow up with a coat or two of mascara for definition.
Fill in your eyebrows with a pencil or powder using light, feathery strokes. Aim for a natural, well-groomed look without overly defined lines.
Apply a natural blush on your cheekbones. Gel or cream blushes look more natural and dewy.
Choose nude or lip colors close to your natural shade. A sheer lipstick, lip gloss, or tinted lip balm can provide color.
Blend makeup well to avoid harsh lines and achieve a natural look. Blend foundation, concealer, eyeshadows, and blush.
