Most women, at some stage, have made the mistake of applying their makeup with too heavy a hand, ending up with a ‘painted’ rather than a natural look. Achieving a natural look with makeup isn’t difficult – it simply takes a bit of know-how, a few beauty supplies and a smile (quite literally, when applying blush!).
Before applying any makeup, it’s imperative you start with a clean face. Wash with a mild cleanser but never with soap, as it is too drying. After cleansing, pat dry your face and apply moisturizer. Once your skin has absorbed the moisturizer, apply concealer under your eyes, ensuring it’s the right shade for your skin tone.
With your ring finger, dab concealer under each eye, gently blending toward the outer edges. Remember, the skin under the eyes is extremely delicate, so be gentle when blending. Next, blend in a small amount of concealer to any red areas on your face, usually around the nose and mouth.
It’s now time to apply tinted moisturizer or a sheer foundation that matches your skin tone. Apply sparingly with your fingers, dabbing and blending thoroughly into the forehead, nose, cheeks and chin. Don’t forget to blend into your jaw line and neck, as well.
Next, apply blush with as light a hand as possible. Begin by smiling at yourself in the mirror and, if you’re using a cream blush, apply a few dabs on the apple of each cheek, blending upward along the cheekbone. If you’re using a powder blush, apply with a makeup brush using the same technique. Blend well; remember, you’re trying to achieve a rosy glow, not a scarlet ruddiness!
It’s now time for mascara. Apply two coats to your lashes, holding the wand as close as possible to the lash line and sweeping in the direction of the lashes. If you have dark lashes, use dark brown mascara; if you have light lashes, use black. Redheads: use brown.
Finally, apply a sheer lip color and blend with your pinky finger. Opt for neutral shades with matte finishes. Finish with a dab of gloss for a bit of shine. Voila – you’re a natural beauty!

Is blush or bronzer applied first?
blush, bronzer should go on last, after everything elseAnswerThere are no rules to makeup. In fact I apply the bronzer first to myself and to clients as a contour and then blend it out with blush below the cheekbones and then blend that out with the highlight color. But whatever technique works to give you the affect you want is what you should do. Try both of our suggestions and see which works for you. Good luck and have fun!Answer>> Both bronzer and blush are meant to add color to your face. Women with fair or pale skin prefer using blush to brighten up their face, while those with naturally tanned skin get better results from bronzer. However, many women use both blush and bronzer. Which one you apply first depends on your choice, but many makeup artists recommend dabbing bronzer on your nose, forehead, and chin before you apply blush. You can choose from loose powder blush, cream blush, blush sticks, etc.Honestly, if you really want your blush or bronzer to show up, then you must apply last. Foundation always goes on first, then your eyeshadow, then your eyeliner, then your mascara, then your blush. Do you want your cheekbones to look high and your cheeks to look full of color? Then apply blush after you apply your foundation, and powder.

First is safety. Eye shadow is made specially so if you get it in your eye it won't injure you. Blush PROBABLY won't injure you, but eye shadow definitely won't. They also put antimicrobial agents in eye shadow to keep harmful eye bacteria from growing in it that blush doesn't need, or have. The other is staying power. The places you put blush don't move very much. The places you put eye shadow are in constant motion. They have to put chemicals in eye shadow to make them stick to your skin that they don't put in blush. (This is also why eye makeup is harder to get off than blush.) You can get pink eye shadow at any store, and if you want to wear pink on your eyes that's what to use.
Why do people make Foundation for?
Foundation does four things. The first thing, and the most important thing, is it gives your skin a nice texture for holding your other makeup on. If you have some foundation, today wear foundation under your blush, tomorrow just put blush on your bare skin. You'll probably find it's a little easier to make your blush look right if you apply it over foundation, and it'll stay on a little better over foundation. (Same deal with all the rest of your makeup.) The second thing is, it's good for protecting your skin from the rays of the sun. Third, it evens out your skintone. And fourth, it can cover small blemishes and discolorations. You don't HAVE to wear foundation, but I know when I put makeup on someone I always use it.

If you have pimples or blemishes, apply the concealer in circular motions ontop of them to even the tone and hide the bumps. Even if you don't have blemishes, apply concealer underneath the eye to even out the blueness and bags that are there. After, apply your blush/bronzer using a blush brush onto the apples of your cheeks. Then do your eyes as sparkly and pretty as you like! first step in eyes is primer, and if you don't have that, then a light concealer covering the eye is good. Then you apply your eyeshadow, then liner, then LAST you do your mascara. Then you can line your lips(totally optional) and apply your lip colour. That should be all you need.:)
