If you want to embrace a more subtle look, or you are just starting to wear makeup, natural-looking makeup can be pretty and flattering. It is easy to accomplish it yourself even if you have never tried it before.
Below is a guide on how to apply makeup to your face for a natural look:
1. Clean your face of any previous makeup.
Put makeup remover or water on a cotton ball. Dab or rub the cotton ball in small circles to remove old makeup. Determine your skin type and cleanse, tone and moisturize with suitable products.
2. Moisturize your face
Using a small dab the size of a pea, gently rub in an unscented, oil free lotion. For a more natural look, instead of using foundation, use a tinted moisturizer.
3. Apply concealer to any blemishes and around your eyes
Applying your concealer before foundation helps keep foundation to a minimal amount. Make sure the concealer is the exact same color as your skin.

When you apply the concealer, do so directly on the spot and not around it. This is to avoid a halo effect and emphasis of the spot. Be careful not to overdo it on the concealer; you only need enough to cover the spot.
4. Apply a powder foundation on the oilier parts of your face
Before you start, it’s best to determine whether or not you’re using the right foundation color. Get in a natural light and test the foundation to make sure it’s the right color for your skin.
5. Apply Bronzer
Bronzer is a great way to give yourself a natural glow. Lightly brush bronzer all over your face (or just along your cheekbones and T-Zone for a natural suntan appearance). However, bronzer can look silly on people with pale skin if applied incorrectly. Practice at home with bronzer to see if it looks good on you before going out with it on. If you don’t like the way it looks, then you can skip this step.
