For girls... (Light Essentials)

Ok, I'm into the light make up and natural look but still I like make up. Sooo... this is what I do, and I hope you take this into consideration as well.

1. ALWAYS wash your face every night from make up.

2. Tone or cleanse your face with astringent.

2. moisturize your face and lips with a good moisturizer.

3. Take some foundation (DO NOT CAKE IT ON, WE ARE TRYING TO GO FOR THE NATURAL LOOK) Put 1 to 2 layers of foundation on. Make sure it's your skin color or 1 tone away from your face. You don't want to get a paler color of foundation if your skin is darker.

4. Put some light powder on your face to keep it from looking oily (Sometimes, this step isn't necessary)

5. Take some eye liner and JUST outline your eye. you don't need it super black and make the line around your eye super thick. You don't wanna look goth if your going for the natural look. Just slightly put it on.

6. Eye shadow, you don't want to go for the bolder and solid colors for every day o'natur-el look, what you need is some nude shades or light pinks or pale browns. Then a slightly darker color for the crease of your eye lid.

7. Mascara, I had trouble with this one in seventh grade. I got some blue mascara and that was to much for me, well, it wasn't in seventh grade but now it is. What you can do is either get some clear mascara or some brown mascara, or some black mascara. I have black and waterproof is always the best. All you do is put it on your eye lashes.

8. Lip gloss. I used to wear bright red lipstick to school, and I go to a private school and I'm only in 8th grade. Then I was introduced to Bath and Body Works lip gloss. I always knew about it, but when I got some for Christmas, I never went back to lip stick again. I only wear it for fun now.

and the cycle re-begins. I hope that these simple make up tricks worked. I will probably post a video tomorrow.
