How To Do The Natural Makeup
 There are basically two types of natural makeup; The Normal Natural Makeup, and The Advanced Natural Makeup. Either one you choose to do, be sure that you will have that beautiful natural effect in no time.

The Normal Natural Look

  1. Achieving this lovely look starts with having a smooth face, so the face should be cleansed, toned and moisturised. This step makes the face soft and smooth for an all day long natural look. 
  2. Then get the eye brows shaped slightly to bring out the features of the face and in such a way that highlighting is optional. 
  3.  A liquid mineral foundation of your shade is swept all over the face, blending around the headline, under eyes, nose bridge and around the jaw line /neck. 
  4. A translucent mineral powder of your shade is the used over the foundation. This gives a glowing effect without adding extra colors. 
  5. Highlight the brows lightly with a brown pencil (optional). 
  6.  Apply a clear mascara. 
  7. Apply a clear lip gloss.
  
The Advanced Natural Look
