I am a make-up artist and this is one of the main question.





The system of applying makeup for a natural look is fast and easy when you get the hang of it.





Steps:





1. Understand that a 'natural' look is one that uses colors that are right for your skin tone. How much you use, and where, depends on your personal style.





2. Make sure your concealer is yellow in tone since it mutes imperfections without adding color, giving your skin a natural look.





3. Apply foundation that matches your skin tone. The right foundation will seem to disappear on your face. If you are African-American, it's a good idea to have light, medium and dark shades of your foundation to allow for different gradations of color on different parts of your face.





4. Apply eye makeup in earthy tones'beige, brown, gold or plum for shadows and brown and charcoal gray for liner and mascara. Skip liner or shadow entirely if you want to keep makeup light.





5. Choose a blush color that is close to the color of your cheeks after you've exercised.





Tips:





Remember to clean and moisturize your face first.





Choose brighter or darker tones for a stronger, more made-up look.





Intensify your natural makeup for evening. Instead of brown, for example, go for charcoal around the eyes. 'Pop' blush with a brighter color over your usual one. Make lips brighter, darker or more shimmery.





I hope that helps.





Applying Eye shadow





the Smoky Eye look is IN right now. I love doing the smoky eye look and the best way instead of wearing all black is to do the same preperation just use color from pink to blue, just make sure you cordinate with the outfit. Try that and I will bet you will try it again and again. I just dont like using black alot.





DO NOT PUT ON THE INNER RIM IF U DO IT WILL BE SOME CONSEQUENCES.





USE A SMUDGER PENCIL.





If you do this look make sure, you with use eye liner in pencil or liquid you can get that in color also.





If you eyes are: Blue





Try: Browns and rose. Warm shades contrast the coolness of blue eyes, making them stand out. Apply from lashlines to creases and top with black mascara.





Anyone-Can-Wear-'Em-Shades: Charcoal, chocolate, black. (Tip: Since they can look heavy on the lid, use these colors as liners to complement any shadow hue.)





To apply pencil liner precisely, gently pull the outer corner of your eyes so your lashes make a straight line. Angle the tip of the pencil toward your lashes and lightly draw from inner to outer corner.

Applying Mascara





Don't Pump Up


Never, ever pump the wand - this adds air to the mascara container, which will only make your mascara dry out faster.








Color Code


As a general rule, brown or soft black are best for daytime; black works best for night.








When Less Is More


Use less mascara on lower lashes than on top lashes. Or forego mascara on lower lashes for a more casual look.








Outta Here!


If your mascara smells funny or is more than six months old, chuck it. The eyes are very sensitive to bacteria.








Stretch It Out!


After you've coated lashes with mascara, add just one more layer to the outer corners. The extra coat will make your lashes look especially long.

The natural look can actually take a lot of make up. Keep long lasting foundation (if needed), and don't exactly cake it on but enough to cover th freckles. Keep eyeliner medimum (not to light will come off and not too dark) Mascara volumizing (not too much volume), and use blush not bronzer blush looks more like the nautral red in the skin (only put it only the cheek bones). Have any more questions ask me
I also have light skin and freckles. I've found that the best kind of foundation to use is L'Oreal Bare Natural Minerals. It's expensive ($12) but it's definitely worth it. It looks very natural and hides blemishes well. It won't make your face a different color than your neck. :)
