How To's : Achieving Your Natural Look

How to achieve that "Natural Look" that will flatter your own 
skin color, skin type, facial shape


We all wished that we would say "actually i woke up already looking like this!"
I dont have the perfect skin as well 
so let me give you some tip of getting that "barely there" look.

Simplify, less is more, stick to the essentials are your keywords in achieving this look.
 Focus on the 4 focal points only and work on it. 
Focal Points for this trick:
Skin
Eyes
Cheeks
Lips





1. SKIN - Apply a light foundation or better get a tinted moisturizer or a BB Cream instead;  working on the T-Zone only and blend.
Apply concealer only if needed to areas of the face that needs covering such as around your eyes, spot blemishes, creases of nose. Skip this step if not applicable.
(for me i needed them on my cheeks, nose crease and under my lip since i got blemishes there on that day (really bad skin).

LOLA Cosmetics Act III Masquerade 
Giorgio Armani Face Fabric Second Skin Nude

 Blemishes on the cheeks, redness since im in the process of treatment peeling

2. EYES - Once the "skin concealing and finishing" is done go for a natural eye look, 
try a cream type of eyeshadow instead of the regular powder one. 
Swipe it over the entire lids.
Then try adding a brown eyeliner for a natural effect too, 
apply only on the top lashes and do half of your eye only starting at the middle moving outward of the eye corner to achieve that fresh looking effect. 
Then have 2 swipes of mascara only.

High End: Benefit Cream Shadows
Stila Cream Smudge Pot
Bobbi Brown Cream Shadow in Jar
Chanel 2011 Autumn Collection (they are all in cream collection) i love the most

Prepping up my lids and lashes.

3. CHEEKS - You have to remember the cheek blusher I used maybe different from the cheek blusher you should be using, this is because our skintone varies. 
This applies to the bronzers as well. 
All you have to remember is apply 2 swipes only on the apples of the cheeks before you blend them for a natural flushy effect.
Apply bronzer to where the sun would hit mostly. Temples, cheekbone and even jawline, you just have to make sure it's blended well in.'

Mid - End Range : Paula Dorf Single Blush

High End: Benefit Coralista

4. LIPS - look at the mirror; what is your lipcolor? Anything that looks like your lips. 
A nice sweet pink or creamy nude perhaps. 
If you have tinted lip gloss this would be perfect. 
Adds color to your lips plus it moisturizes and protects.
