My Everyday Make Up - How to Achieve a Natural Look!

I often come across tutorials for "no make up" make up tutorials, and to be honest, there's always so much involved! Here's how I achieve my natural look with very few products! (This is pretty much my daily make up because I'm so lazy XD)

1) Choose a concealer and hide any flaws
Hide dark circles and uneven pigmentation with a concealer/foundation of your choice. I suggest spot-concealing, as in only cover the areas that actually need coverage! Most of the time I will just use my fingers to blend the product, but occasionally I will use my Sigma brushes. If your skin is oily, use a powder to set the concealer.

2) Fill in your brows!

For a polished and youthful look, fill in your brows with a matte powder or a pencil that gives a natural effect. Follow the natural shape of your brows. Make sure you don't draw them in too heavily and use a spoolie to diffuse the colour a little for more natural looking brows. I used to a matte sketchily-pigmented black powder to fill in my brows as it gives the most natural look but I've recently changed to Shu Uemura's Hard 9 pencil. 

3) Curl your eyelashes! 

I don't do anything else to my eyes on most days purely because my eye make up takes a long time as I need to prime and apply things perfectly. If I'm in need of an eye brightener, I'll lightly apply a pale shimmery cream eyeshadow on the inner half of my lower eyelid.

4) Blush and Contour

I need blush to look alive, the corpse look really isn't attractive! I usually apply it above the apple of my cheeks as I find it a more flattering place to apply blush. I use a contour powder on my nose and around the edges of my face to give some definition, I'm not really particular about it but I feel it does give a more structured look.

5) Apply lip colour

I actually really like red as my lip colour as it's vibrant but also can look natural. Orange is also a personal favourite and goes well with a coral blush. I use both tints and lipsticks to achieve a soft coloured lip that goes well with a natural look.

My make up picks for a natural look!

Canmake Creamy Touch Rouge in Sweet Cherry

Peripera Tint Water in Cherry Juice and Orange Juice

Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint in RD301

Garnier Anti-Dark Circle Concealer

Innisfree Mineral Stick Concealer in no.2

Rimmel Eyeshadow quad (This is discontinued now, but I use the lightest shade to highlight me eyes)

And that's it! I've written quite a hefty chunk for what's supposed to be a quick and natural look but this really doesn't take me more than 10 minutes.

End result: I look like a more awake and fresher version of myself but the make up is barely visible.
