Make up or Natural Look

For some women who are not skilled enough in choosing the right shade of make up to enhance their skin tone color and eye color, applying make up is a nightmare. If they lack the right techniques, or lack the artistic touch of make up, then it will be trouble. These women are scared of many aspects of make up like choosing the wrong shade for their skin, choosing the wrong shade for their dress, applying too much make up or too little, or making a total mess of the whole make up procedure. Because of all these horrible possibilities, many women just use some baby powder on their face along with some lip stick. And the lip stick could be a wrong shade for their lips as well.

Make up is done with the intention to garner the attention of the on lookers to the best features on your face than the others. The best looks are the ones which are the closest to your natural look. Even if your knowledge on make up is negligible, you will still be able to get a natural looking make up on your face without much of any hassle. The most important thing you need to give your attention is about getting the right shade foundation for your skin. And the shades you use should match and invisible with your skin tone color.

Note:

The best place to check to see if the foundation matches your skin shade is your jaw line. When buying foundation use a test dose on your jaw line and wait for a few minutes to see if it suits your face. If possible check it out in natural sun light, as artificial lights will give you skewed results. If it is the right foundation for your skin, you will find it really hard to notice and its invisible, if you have any foundation on at all!! It will blend in perfectly!!

What shades will suit beige toned skins?

In case you have beige skin tones with shades of peach or pink in it, then the right shades for your cheeks and lips are pink, peach and apricot. The first step involved in the make up is to hide all the blemishes on your face using a concealer. Next, you need to apply the foundation and then dust it off with matching talcum powder. Always use a foundation with SPF in it in order to avoid sun burn on your face as beige toned skin is very susceptible to sun burn. If you use too much make that will make you look older and will not be too good on your face and should be avoided. A coat of pink or peach lip gloss should be added as the final touches to your make up.

What shades will suit you if your skin has olive tones on it?

Use of a foundation with warm colors like golden brown will be the best on olive toned skin color. It is advisable to not use any foundation with shimmer in it, as olive toned skin is usually oily. If you apply a shade of bronzer on the apples of your cheeks, on your forehead and on the bridge of your nose, that would give you a sun kissed look. As far as your lips are concerned, an outline on it with a nude colored lip pencil followed by applying clear gloss all over the lips will do the trick.


What shades will suit you if you have yellow shades on your skin?

Those of you who have yellow under tones needs to avoid using ivory or pink shades for their foundation. Warmer colors with a yellow base will look better on them. As yellow toned skin tends to be drier and flaky, any powder foundations would not be good as they will make your skin even more drier. Apply a light pink colored gloss on your lips and light pink blusher on the apples of your cheeks, in order to give the finishing touches.

If you apply some moisturizer as a base coat first on your face, that would give better finish on your foundation. Try to reduce the amount of moisturizer applied and get off any excess moisturizer with the help of a tissue. If you put too much moisturizer that may cause the foundation to skid off your face. If too little moisturizer is applied, that may make it really hard for the right blending of the foundation.

Getting an understated look is not too hard. You never have to be an expert to get it done. This will give you a great natural look.
