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 1 st 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 postmakeup 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!
