How to Apply a Natural Makeup Look Makeup is no new concept to the world, as it has been dated back to the ancient Egyptian 1st Dynasty. A Renfrew Center Foundation conducted survey detailed that 58% of girls aged from 8 to 18 wear makeup and 27% of women feel it isn’t acceptable to go out without wearing makeup due to feeling unattractive. Although about 58% of women wear makeup, makeup application can seem overwhelming. This is especially true in the days of super contouring and color correcting the skin for the potential of looking unrecognizably flawless post-‐makeup application. There are foundational steps in applying a makeup look that can be altered for desired intensity and color scheme. This guide will give some tips and tricks to give you the skills to build a makeup look the way you want and to be confident in your ability to fully apply makeup. Products Needed 1. Facial Towel 2.

Selecting the Right Makeup for You Makeup preferences and needs differ from person to person. Your selection in makeup differs on your skin type, skin undertones, and many other factors that play into your purchasing choices. Follow the next few steps to better understand your skin type and makeup needs to ultimately choose the best makeup for you. 1. Use the following table to further pinpoint what skin type you have. Should you still need further assistance in figuring out if you have oily skin (as well as the other skin types), take a tissue and blot your face mid-‐day. Oil residue will appear on the tissue if you have more oily prone skin. Pinpointing your skin type is crucial in determining what products to use while prepping your skin (face wash, toner and moisturizer) as well as what skin makeup you need (foundation and powder). 2. The next crucial step is to understand what your skin’s undertone is. This is especially important when deciding on a foundation color. To find your skin tone, look at the underside of your arm in natural daylight. If your undertones are apricot or golden with veins that are tinted green, your skin town is warm. Cool skin tones have a pinky/ rosy undertone with blue tinted veins. The figure below gives examples of some cool skin tones and warm skin tones to help in matching your own.
3. The following chart can be used in selecting individual products based on what matches your skin type, skin tone, and color preferences.

Makeup/ Skincare Product Selection Process Facial Wash Cleanser Depending on your skin type you
determined in step 1, a facial wash should be selected that matches your skincare needs. For example, if you breakout at night a wash that combats this should be selected. If you have sensitive skin, a more natural product with softer ingredients should be selected to not irritate your skin.
Toner A toner that specifically handles your skin type should be selected. For example, if you have dry skin, a toner that is labeled for dry skin should be used. A toner for such a purpose most likely has less of ingredients that further worsen dry skin, such as alcohol.
Moisturizer A moisturizer with at least SPF 15 should be used. Should you have dry skin, it is important to get a moisturizer that is described to be extra hydrating.
Foundation & Powder
Foundation should be tested on your jaw line, as it most accurately matches the area on your neck while seeing how it looks on your face. Your face skin color is often slightly different than that of your neck or your body, so matching a color to your jawline helps see how it matches your neck and if it will look natural on your face. Understanding your skin undertones in step 2 helps narrow down which foundation colors would suit you. This same color should be used for face powder. For example, only cool/ pinky undertone foundations should be looked at if that is what you determined your undertones to be.
Concealer Chose a concealer color 1 to 2 shades lighter than your foundation color. Concealer is used to draw light to the face, so it should be slightly lighter than other areas of the face.
Makeup/ Skincare Product Selection Process
Blush Blush should resemble the color your cheeks naturally get when flushed. A tip to determining this color, is to put the blush in the palm of your hand and match it to the color of your fingertips
Lip Liner Your lip liner should be a shade darker than your lipstick, which is about three shades deeper than your natural lip color.
Lipstick Generally match a shade that is about two shades deeper than the natural color of your lips.
Pencil Eyeliner To tight-‐line the eye (or fill in the waterline between your lashes and the eye) the darker black color should be used.
Eye shadow A light colored eye shadow and a dark color eye shadow are needed. The light color is up to personal preference. However, the dark color could also be up to personal preference but there are certain colors that can be used according to your eye color that can intensify the eye color. Blue eyes intensify with coral tones while brown eyes pop with gold tones and blacks. Green eyes are known to intensify with purple toned shadows.
Mascara Black mascara should be used but the type of mascara decided on is distinguished by the brush style, which is dependent on personal preference of how you you’re your eyelashes to look. A more wide eyed look has a brush that is narrow towards the end and gets wider towards the bottom of the brush to make the lashes at the corner of the eye long and spread out. A fuller sized brush is used when volume, not so much length, is desired.
Preparing the Skin for Makeup 1. Open the faucet to splash a little bit of water on your face using your hands. 2. Use the applicator of the face wash cleanser (squeeze if it is a tube and press down if the product comes out that way) to dispense a quarter sized amount of product onto your hand. 3. Gently rub the cleanser on your face. Go over the face in sections of your preference using circular motions. For example, use circular motions to cleanse the skin on your forehead. 4. Use the facial towel to pat draw your face. It is important to pat dry the face and not rub the face with the towel. Rubbing the face with the towel puts unnecessary stress on the skin and can cause premature wrinkles. 5. Dispense a small amount of toner onto a cotton pad and gently run the cotton pad along the entirety of your face. 6. Dispense a dime-‐sized amount of moisturizer into your hands and rub your hands together for about two seconds. Then pat the moisturizer into the skin on your face. Make sure to cover all areas of your face with moisturizer. When you’re done putting moisturizer onto your face, rub the remaining moisturizer that is on your hands onto your neck.
Your skin is prepped and ready for makeup application! Makeup Application 1. Open the primer and dispense a dime-‐sized amount onto your fingertips. Rub this primer all over your face. More product should be applied to your problem areas, such as areas of larger pores. 2. Pump 2 pumps of foundation onto the back of your hand. Use your finger to dot this product all over your face. Then use your beauty sponge in small pressing motions to spread the product evenly across your skin. Once the foundation application is done, smooth the beauty sponge over areas that aren’t fully blended. 3. Open the concealer and use the applicator to draw an upside down triangle under your eye (the flat bottom of the triangle should be lined up in a way to be parallel to right below the horizontal bottom of your eye). Use your beauty sponge to use dabbing motions to press the product into your skin to even out the product along your under eye area. You want the product to remain in the place you applied it, which is why dabbing motions are used to blend the product in while keeping it in the same spot.
4. Run the powder brush across your opened pressed face powder. Tab the excess product (fallout) off against the corner of the table you’re working on. Use the brush to powder your face with this pressed face powder by using light, circular motions all over the face. This is setting the foundation and concealer you just applied. 5. Run the blush brush over your opened blush and apply to the apples of your cheeks using the brush. 6. Use the lip liner to line the outside of your lips. This is where you will fill in with lipstick. 7. Use the lipstick to ‘color in’ the lines around your lips you created with the lip liner. A tip to not get lipstick residue on your teeth is to put your thumb into your mouth like you are going to suck on it and pull it out. This removes the lipstick close to the inside of your mouth that would otherwise have ended up on your teeth. 8. Use the eyeliner to line the inside waterline of your eye. Lightly running the pencil against this waterline should eventually darken the waterline to black, which helps draw more attention to the eye. 9. Run the eye shadow brush across your opened dark eye shadow. Tap off the excess against the corner of the table you’re working on. Then apply this dark color to the outer corner of your eye. Using the eye shadow brush, blend this dark color from the outer corner of your eye along the crease of your eye. This adds depth to the outer corner and crease of the eye. 10. Tap off the dark eye shadow and run that same eye shadow brush across the light eye shadow color. Tap off the excess powder on the brush against the table you’re using and apply the eye shadow from the inner corner of the eye along to the center of the eye. The light color should stop upon meeting the dark color at the crease and the outer corner of the eye. 11. Lastly, open the mascara and pull out the mascara wand covered in product. Hold the mascara wand parallel to the eye and line up the outer most edge of the mascara wand to the beginning of your lashes (along the inner corner of the eye). Wiggle the mascara wand through your lashes (moving up and outwards with an initial brush placement as close to the eyelash root you can get without actually touching the eye). Last step is to look at the finished look in a mirror to see what a good
job you did!
