Natural Makeup Tutorial

Your cosmetic look doesn't have to be bold to be beautiful. A natural look is simple enough for daytime and flawless enough for an evening out. Rely on classic shades that flatter your skin tone when designing a versatile, everyday makeup look. To enhance your natural beauty, you don't need heavy foundation, dark blush, a dazzling array of eyeshadow colors or glittery powders. Makeup that looks natural shows that you have nothing to hide.

Here are tutorial for your best natural makeup:
Step 1: Prep Your Skin. Apply a primer or BB cream with a built-in moisturizer and SPF -- go for an SPF 15 or higher. These multipurpose products prep your face for makeup application, hydrate your skin and protect it from the sun's harmful rays.
Step 2: Hide Those Flaws. Target under-eye circles, blemishes and hyperpigmentation with a concealer that matches your skin tone. Use a pointed concealer brush to dab the product onto the affected area, and tap it into your skin using a clean finger.
Step 3: Build a Base. Apply foundation to your T-zone and any problem areas. For sheer coverage, use your fingers to massage foundation into your skin. For more coverage, opt for a foundation brush.
Step 4: Set Your Foundation. For those with excess shine, lightly dust loose translucent powder over your complexion to set your foundation.
Step 5: Add Some Color. Use a large soft bristle brush to apply a blush to your cheeks. Start at the apples and then sweep the brush up toward your temples.
Step 6: Fill in Your Brows. Use an eyebrow pencil or cream to fill in sparse areas and create a well-defined arch. Focus the product on the upper half of your brow line for an instant -- not to mention cheap -- brow lift.
Step 7: Accentuate Your Eyes. Swipe a neutral eyeshadow across your eyelids, brushing this base up to your brow bone. Blend a darker earthy shade -- like taupe or charcoal gray -- into your eyelid crease to add further definition.
Step 8: Define the Eye. Add some definition with black liner on your upper eyelid. Start drawing from the inside corner of the eye, working your way out to the corner. Keep this line thin so that it works well from day to night.
Step 9: Embellish the Eyelashes. Hold your mascara wand, starting at the root of your eyelashes, and move up them in a zigzag motion to ensure every lash is covered in mascara. Apply two coats of black or brown mascara.
Step 10: Pucker Up. Line your lips with a lip liner that coordinates with your lipstick. Use a brush to dab the color onto your lips in a downward motion. Choose a medium-hued color for daytime -- think rose or coral -- and add a layer of shimmery gloss to play up your lips for an evening out.

Keep in mind the difference between day makeup, night makeup, and special occasions. Day makeup is light and tinted with neutral colors. Night makeup has stronger colors. Special occasions take special items like false eyelashes, liquid liners, and highlighting under the eyes for professional makeup tutorials especially around holidays and celebrations.
