One thing that every teenager learns when she starts high school, is “when it comes to make up, little is more”. At least, every teenager should be taught that. That is the very reason why I am here, helping you understand the concept of “less is more”! Be it the Gothic look, or the Barbie doll look, either ways, one can create the effect without looking terribly made up. Trust me, guys hate women who are always clad with makeup! So, you can use these good natural makeup tips. Let’s call them natural makeup tricks. Let’s start!

Natural Makeup Ideas for All Ages

Makeup is a part of any and every urban woman’s lifestyle. Trust me, I cannot even imagine walking outside my front door without makeup. I guess we need it, to accentuate our features. It also gives us that boost in self-esteem (I hate to admit it, but it’s true!).

The best way to adorn your self in makeup, on a regular basis, is to make it seem like you don’t have makeup on. Yes, it is deceptive, but I think it is allowed, right? More so, this kind of makeup allows people to notice the true beauty in your features. The other women will definitely appreciate your sense of makeup and style. Put on a slight foundation that matches your skin tone. Best to stick to natural mineral makeup. Apply eyeliner, it accentuates the eyes and helps people get hypnotized by your gaze. Apply a light shade lipstick if you are going for gloss. Like a pink or a light red. If you are going for matte shades, you can afford to go with slightly darker colors, depending on your skin tone. Eye-shadow is optional. In the day time, stick to lighter shades, even if it is black, apply very lightly. At night, you can experiment with darker strokes and mixed shades.

These pretty natural makeup tips are for all women, in general. In fact they are best suited for regular wear, like at work or school or college.

Natural Makeup Ideas – Party Makeup

WHAT! You got that right. You can have gorgeous natural makeup on, for a party as well. Apply liquid mineral makeup foundation (by now, I am sure you have realized that foundation, is a given). Use eyeliner on the upper as well as the lower eyelids. Apply mascara to give your lashes a long and shiny look. Go for slight blush on, to give your cheeks some color. Go for glossy lipstick, which goes naturally with your skin tone. Like, if you are fair-skinned, go for a pink lip gloss, darker skinned belles can go for light browns and darker pinks. If you want a natural, yet glamorous look, you can apply eyeshadow that matches with the color of your eyes or attire. Like, a natural makeup tip for blue eyes would be, to go for blue eyeshadow, and black eyeliner. Or if you have black eyes, and you are wearing a red dress, you can go for a light red eyeshadow.

In a party, for a natural look, I strongly suggest let your hair down. You can blow dry and spray them to keep them in place all night. However, nothing beats bare open hair to make men go mad!

Natural Makeup Ideas – Punk Makeup Ideas

Ok, so if you are going for the punk look, it will not look that natural. But, even as a punk you can manage to look more natural than others. The secret to success when it comes to punk make up is, eyes! When you are going for punk makeup, give your eyes all the importance. Use colors and dark eyeliner. Be generous with the mascara on both upper and lower lashes. Also, use dark but matte lipstick shades. Go for a burgundy or a purple. The best thing about the punk look is that you can experiment all you want. However, before all that, don’t forget to apply foundation evenly, to hide your blemishes and give you an even tone. Again, mineral makeup would be a good option.

So, basically, if you are going for the punk look, you can’t really look natural. However, if you don’t overdo the makeup, you can look very elegant!

Makeup is an art to accentuate your beauty and not to make you beautiful. I believe every woman, irrespective of her skin color, is beautiful and makeup only enhances her beauty. Thus, the right application of makeup is of utmost importance, if you wish to add charm to your beauty. However, women of African-American origin or black women often find it difficult to get their makeup right. The trouble starts with the choice of right cosmetic for their skin tones. In the past, not many cosmetic companies specialized in products that were exclusively meant for black women. Therefore, they had to put up with cosmetics that looked unnatural upon them. However, nowadays, there are quite a few companies which cater to the needs of black women.

Natural Makeup Tips for Black Women

Many women mistake natural makeup for bare or no makeup at all. This is not true, as natural makeup means, the makeup which enhances your features, without looking unnatural upon you. Natural makeup tips for black women starts with identifying one’s skin undertone. It is not justified to label all black women as ‘women with dark brown skin’, as there are several shades of browns and even beige, which account for ‘dark skin.’ Thus, your first step would be to identify your skin tone and the undertone. Most black women have blue undertone, however, those with lighter skin color may have pink or gold undertone. Following are some pretty natural makeup tips for black women.

Foundation
Once, you get your skin tone right, the next step is to shop for the right cosmetics. Choosing a correct foundation is a basic and one of the most important natural makeup ideas. You need to choose a foundation that perfectly blends with your skin. You have an option of choosing a foundation in the form of liquid, gel, cream or stick. Yellow based foundations look best for black women as they complement the skin undertone. While applying foundation, make sure you clean your face and moisturize it. Natural makeup techniques involve using your fingers or a cotton swab to apply the foundation in small portions on forehead, cheeks, chin, near your eyes and nose. Now blend it with your skin so that the end result is smooth, even skin. Make sure there is no visible boundary where your makeup meets your skin.

Eye Makeup
Black women have a great choice in this area, as they can even opt for bold shades like blue, violet and green. However, if you are getting ready for the day, then it is better to stick to neutral shades like copper, brown, pink etc. Also, keep your eye shadow light, so that it does not look odd for the day. While doing eye makeup for night, you can choose any shade from deep purple, mauve, rich chocolate etc. and can also apply it heavily on your eyelids. Complete your eye makeup by a thin eyeliner and 2-3 coats of mascara.

Blusher
This is an area, where you are likely to make a major makeup blunder. Remember, peach, orange, red and pink blushers are not for your skin tone, since they are barely noticeable on dark skin tones. Brown, copper are the colors that complement very well with African-American skin tones. Steer clear off rosy reds, as they look very artificial on black women.

Lip Makeup
Lip gloss is a must-have in your makeup kit, if you are an African-American woman, since it suits you more than a lip stick. Black women tend to have big, fuller lips, hence accentuate your lips as much as you can. Line your lips with a lip liner that is close to the shade of your lip gloss or lipstick. Fill the lip color with a brush and blend it well with the lip liner. Many women apply darker lip liners than their lip stick color, this doesn’t look beautiful.

Hope the above natural makeup tips for black women help you look gorgeous and feel good about yourself. For more natural makeup tricks for African-American skin tones, take a closer look at the pictures of divas like Jennifer Lopez or Halle Berry, who have great makeup sense.

 

Before we proceed to the liquid makeup for acne prone skin, let us get to know what is acne and what are the causes of acne. Understanding the causes and symptoms of acne, is an integral part of selecting the appropriate liquid makeup for acne prone skin.

Acne
Acne, known as acne vulgaris, is a type of natural skin condition that occurs in the human body as a result of certain hormonal changes. Though the condition of acne is a totally natural one, its symptoms are not welcome. Oily skin that causes pimples and blemishes can lead to acne. The condition of acne is further worsened by the deposition of oil in the pores of the skin. Acne also leads to blackheads and clogging of pores.

Controlling Acne
The best possible make up tip, rather an acne reduction and cure tip that I can give you, is wash your face four to five times a day. Yes, cleanliness goes a long way in preventing acne and other skin problems too. The advantage of washing your face with plain cold water is that the dried out Keratin (form of fibrous protein), dirt and accumulated bacteria are cleaned off. These components block the skin pores. The blockage of pores results in pimples or acne marks. Thus, if you prevent this blockage, sweat and oil will not be clogged in the skin pores, thus minimizing the probability of the appearance of acne marks on your face. Thus, the best liquid makeup for acne prone skin is to wash the skin with plain and cold water. To know more about the preventing and controlling acne condition, refer to

Liquid Makeup for Acne Prone Skin
The usage of liquid makeup for acne prone skin depends on the severity of the occurrence of acne. Hence if you have a mild acne problem, then it would be very convenient for you to apply any water based liquid make up. It would be advisable to use liquid makeup for oily skin. All you need to do is thoroughly wash off the make up once you are back home. The risk in using this type of make up is that the make up itself may result into the clogging of skin pores. Thus, it is extremely important that you wash off the make up.

The liquid makeup for acne prone skin, is usually the one that is Non comedogenic in nature. The Non comedogenic make ups do not get trapped in the pores and hence also prevent acne. Many acne related products that are titled Non comedogenic, also have anitbacterial properties, due to which the bacteria that are trapped within the pores are killed.

The second type of make up that I would suggest is the one that contains aloe vera. Aloe vera is a proven remedy that was first suggested in Ayurveda. Any make up that contains less oil and aloe vera or aloe vera essence can be successfully used as an acne prone skin makeup. The best merit of using aloe vera based acne prone skin make up is that it not only the best one, but also has many anti-acne properties. The usage of aloe vera based makeup would ensure a clean skin, due to its anti-bacterial properties. This type of make up prevents inflammation of skin and heals the scars caused by acne. Some of these makeups that have aloe vera are oil based and can be used for acne prone dry skin while the others which are water based can be used for acne prone oily skin. Many of the acne skin care products contain aloe vera extract.

As mentioned above, acne can be best treated with the help of natural skin care products and a simple face wash, in case you feel that excess oil has accumulated on your face. It would be also advisable to consult your skin specialist before you apply any make up meant for an acne prone skin.
