How to Use Less Makeup and Still Look Great

Instructions

Things You’ll Need:

  • Foundation
  • Light pink blush
  • Eyelash curler
  • Light brown or peach or pink eyeshadow
  • Bronze or pink or peach tinted lip gloss
  • Small makeup bag
  • Step 1:
    Use a small magnifying mirror for applying makeup. Begin with a freshly cleaned face and neck. Apply a light moisturizer with an SPF of at least 15 in it to protect your skin from the sun. This will help prevent wrinkles.
  • Step 2:
    Apply foundation. Use a liquid foundation that is identical to your skin color, or even one shade lighter. Use the foundation to blend your skin into one color, covering up blemishes and making your skin look more clear.
  • Step 3:
    Apply blush. A light pink, bronze or peach blush is best for a natural look. Just a few sweeps of a large blush brush will give you a great, awake and young look. It will add just a little bit of color to your face that will go a long way.
  • Step 4:
    Curling your eyelashes. Use an eyelash curler to show off your beautiful lashes without clumping, dripping mascara. To wear less makeup you need to throw out that mascara.
  • Step 5:
    Adding eyeshadow. Use a light pink, peach or bronze eyeshadow. Apply just a little powdered eyeshadow to your lids.
  • Step 6:
    For lip color. Use a tinted lip gloss to add color and shine to your lips.

Tips & Warnings

  • Use pinks, peaches and bronze colors for a natural look.
  • Avoid makeup you don't need.
