Although many women seem to think that they need to put on layers of makeup to look beautiful, natural beauty is actually much more attractive. Makeup should enhance your features, not cover them up. If you have a good skincare routine, you won't need much makeup at all to look beautiful. Here are the steps you can take to create a natural makeup look.

Prep Your Skin

It's important to properly prep your skin before you put on makeup. Make sure to apply moisturizer and foundation primer to your skin before you apply your makeup. These products will give you a smooth canvas to work with.

Even Out Your Skin Tone

Apply foundation to your skin with a flat-top brush to even out your skin tone. Mineral makeup is very popular and looks very natural, so consider using a mineral foundation. If you have great skin, you can opt for a tinted moisturizer; it's much lighter than a foundation but will still cover up red spots and discoloration.

Add Cream Blush To Your Cheeks

Adding some blush to your cheeks will brighten up your complexion and make you look really healthy. Opt for a cream blush instead of a powder one; cream blushes look much more natural.

Put Mascara On Your Eyelashes

There's no need to apply a ton of eyeliner and eye shadow to get your eyes to stand out. A little mascara will lengthen your lashes and make your eyes pop. Just apply two coats of black mascara to your eyelashes.

Apply Tinted Lip Balm On Your Lips

Instead of applying a heavy lipstick to your lips, just put on some tinted lip balm. It will give your lips color but will still look natural.

Creating this fresh and bare look only takes minutes and will make you look amazing.
