BEAUTY: MAKE-UP
Make-Up Application
Natural Look Makeup: Highlight your natural beauty with this simple daily routine to create a healthy glow.
Mineral Makeup: Learn how to apply mineral makeup for even skin tone and reducing the appearance of fine lines.
HOW TO:
Apply Make-up
Use fingertips to apply a tinted moisturizer. Start at the center of your face and work outward to forehead, temples and jawline. Blend edges with a clean brush, sponge or makeup puff.
Fill in brows with light taupe eye shadow and an eyeliner or brow brush. Comb through brows to blend.
Sweep golden or rosy bronzer across cheeks, temples and top of nose to highlight bone structure and create a beautiful, healthy glow.
Saturate an eye shadow brush with bronzer or eye shadow. Beginning at the center of your lid, apply color from lash line to crease. Repeat on upper/outer lid and upper/inner lid. Blend.
Gently coat upper lashes with black or brown mascara. Start at the center of your lash line, and then continue to inner and outer edges.
Finish with a light coat of liquid lip gloss.
Six Tips for the Latest Natural Look
Mineral- or botanical-based make-up doesn’t mean neutral or boring. Follow the tips below for a fresh face that you can customize from day to night and from glam to girl-next-door.
Even the score. Use a tinted moisturizer to balance skin tone. Application is easy; simply put some on the pads of your fingers and pat it on like a lotion—no fancy brushes or sponges required.
Get centered. Discolorations and breakouts tend to congregate around eyes, mouth and nose. For youthful, glowing skin, apply concealer as needed to this central area.
Don’t blush. Create a warm and healthy natural look by dusting a light, matte bronzer over cheekbones and temples.
Get messy. For a simple smoky eye, start with eyeliner on the top lash line and all around outer rim of your lower lash line. Use a small brush to smudge the liner upwards and outwards. (Read our How-to: Smokey Eyes.)
Turn up the volume. Use more or less mascara, depending on the occasion. If your hair color is light, opt for a soft brown. If you’re a brunette, choose black mascara to highlight your eyes.
Zip your lip. Orange and coral lips are versatile enough to go from day to night, and they complement a wide variety of skin tones. Pair with ample mascara for a dewy, dramatic look.
Natural and Smokey Eyes
Easy Smokey Eye: Create a dramatic, sexy eye in a few simple steps.
HOW TO:
Smokey Eyes
For a simple version of a classic look, start with black eye pencil and a trio of complementary shadows.
Trace your top lash line and the outer rim of your lower lash line with black eye pencil. Gently smudge with a clean eye shadow brush.
Dip an eyeliner brush in the darkest eye shadow and place on base of lash line to set eye pencil. Blend and smooth over pencil line, moving out and up at the outer edge of the lash line.
Highlight the area below the brow with the lightest, shimmery shadow.
Contour your crease line with the medium shadow. Apply below brow bone in a continuous half arc, extending beyond lash line and connecting to extended lash line.
Finish with 2-3 coats of black mascara.
