getting started Natural Makeup Tutorial for Beginners Step by Step
Collecting your luggage
Before you begin, gather all the necessary items. You’ll need foundation, concealer, setting powder, highlighter, blush, brow pencil or powder, a neutral eyeshadow palette, mascara, eyeliner, lip balm, and lipstick or gloss. Don’t neglect your brush and sponge!
Preparing your skin
Cleanse your face to remove any dirt or oil. Follow up with a moisturizer appropriate for your skin type to create a smooth base for your makeup. If time permits, apply a primer to prolong the durability of your makeup.
Step 1: Complete your base
Choosing the right foundation
Choose a foundation that perfectly matches your skin tone. A natural look depends on a flawless blend, so test a few shades on your jawline to identify the ideal match.
Applying the foundation correctly
Distribute the foundation in small dots around your face and blend it with a damp makeup sponge or brush. Concentrate on the areas that need the most coverage and blend outwards to avoid any harsh lines.
Step 2: Conceal flaws.
Choosing the right concealer
Choose a concealer that’s lighter than your foundation for under-eye circles and one that matches your foundation for blemishes.
Concealer application technique
For under eye circles, apply the concealer in a triangle shape under your eyes and blend it out. For blemishes, apply a small amount directly to the area and blend the sides.
Step 3: Establish your foundation
Choosing a setting powder
Use a translucent setting powder to set your foundation and concealer in place. It helps keep your makeup in place and reduces shine.
How to apply setting powder
Dust the powder over your face with a light brush, focusing on areas that are prone to oiliness like your T-zone.
Step 4: Adding a Natural Glow
Using a highlighter
Apply a subtle highlighter to the highlights of your face: cheekbones, browbones, the bridge of your nose, and cupid’s bow.
Blush application tips
Smile and apply blush lightly to highlight the apples of your cheeks, blending towards your temples for a natural flush.
Step 5: Defining your brows
A selection of brow products
Choose a brow pencil or powder that matches your natural hair color. For a more defined look, you can also use a brow gel.
Step by step eyebrow shaping
Start by brushing your brows upwards. Fill in any sparse areas with light, hairlike strokes, and then blend with a spoolie brush.
Step 6: Subtle Eye Makeup
Choosing a neutral eyeshadow
Choose a palette of neutral tones such as browns, beiges and soft pinks. These shades enhance your eyes without overpowering them.
Blending techniques
Apply a lighter shade all over your lid, a medium shade in the crease and a darker shade on the outer corner. Blend carefully to avoid any harsh streaks.
Step 7: Extend your eyelashes
The best mascara for a natural look
Choose a mascara that adds both length and volume without causing clumps. Waterproof options are ideal for long-lasting wear throughout the day.
Application of proper mascara
Wiggle the wand at the base of your lashes and then sweep upwards. Apply one or two coats focusing on the outer lashes to open up your eyes.
Step 8: Eliminate eye contact
Eyeliner Tips for a Natural Look
Use brown or dark gray eyeliner for a softer look. Apply it close to your lash line and gently press it in for a more natural look.
How to avoid overdoing it.
Less is more. Keep the eyeliner thin and apply it only on the upper lash line for a more subtle look.
Step 9: Lip care and color
Prepping your lips
Exfoliate your lips with a scrub, then apply a moisturizing lip balm. This ensures a smooth surface for your lipstick.
Choosing the right lip color
For a natural look, choose a lip color that is close to your natural lip shade. Nude, pink and peach tones work best.
Step 10: Setting Your Makeup
Using a setting spray
A setting spray helps lock your makeup in place. Hold the spray at arm’s length and lightly mist your face.
Tips for Long Lasting Makeup
Reapply your setting spray throughout the day to refresh your look. Blotting papers can help reduce shine without disturbing your makeup.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Overdoing the foundation
Using too much foundation can create a cakey appearance. Start with a small amount and only add more where necessary for extra coverage.
Ignoring your skincare routine
Good skin care is the foundation of great makeup. Cleanse, moisturize and treat your skin regularly to keep it healthy and glowing.
Tips for different skin types
Smooth skin
Use mattifying products and setting powders to control shine. Oil-free and long-wearing foundations work best.
Dry skin
Hydrate your skin well and use a dewy foundation. Avoid powder products that can accentuate dryness.
Combination skin
Balance your routine with products that address both oily and dry areas. Use a hydrating primer and setting powder.
