   • Determine your skin type and cleanse, tone and moisturize with suitable products twice daily. If you have skin problems like spots/blackheads, exfoliate your skin.

    Moisturize.
   Moisturize. Using a small dab the size of a pea, gently rub in an unscented, oil free lotion. Scented lotions can aggravate skin and cause breakouts or an allergic reaction, and oily lotions will increase acne.

    Determine your right color of foundation.
   Determine your right color of foundation. Get in a natural light and test the foundation to make sure it's the right color for your skin. Dab a few marks on your cheek and angle your face different ways to see if the color matches. Make sure to go underneath your jaw line—if you stop that edge of your face there will be a clear line where the foundation stops.

      Take your finger or a sponge dab in the foundation, and dab it on your face, blending it until it looks like your skin tone.

      Tinted moisturizer is better for a more natural look, it blends in while evening out your skin tone.
     Tinted moisturizer is better for a more natural look, it blends in while evening out your skin tone. It commonly has SPF, and it moisturizes. Those with clearer skin will look best with this.

    Use concealer on dark or red spots.
   Use concealer on dark or red spots. Make sure this is the EXACT same color as your skin. When you apply the concealer, do so directly on the spot and not around it. This is to avoid a halo effect and emphasis of the spot. Optionally set with beige powder. Be careful not to overdo it on the concealer—you only need enough to cover the spot.

    Use two shades of eyeshadow for a professional look.
   Use two shades of eyeshadow for a professional look. The colours you choose should be golds, browns or silvers, depending on your skin tone and colouring. Apply a light, neutral tone all over your lid and just above your crease, and use slightly darker to softly line the top lid and outline your crease. For a natural look, remember to blend the colours.

    Alternatively, use lighter colours on the inner parts of your eyes and darker tones on the outside.
   * Alternatively, use lighter colours on the inner parts of your eyes and darker tones on the outside. Put white eyeshadow or eyeliner on the inside corner of your eyes to make them look wider and brighter.

    Line your eyes with a roasted-colored pencil liner.
   Line your eyes with a roasted-colored pencil liner. Pencil looks more natural than liquid or gel liner and it is easier to blend. Line two thirds of your top lashline and one third of your bottom lashline. Smudge the line with a cotton bud.

    Curl your eyelashes.
   Curl your eyelashes.This gives you a natural-looking lift without the use of mascara.

    Apply one coat of brown or soft black (for darker skin) mascara.
   Apply one coat of brown or soft black (for darker skin) mascara. If you are satisfied with your results in the previous step, you may skip this one.

     Apply Bronzer.
    Apply Bronzer. Bronzer is a great way to make it look like you have a natural glow. Lightly brush bronzer all over your face, or just along your cheekbones and T-Zone for a natural suntan appearance. However, bronzer can look silly on people with pale skin if you apply it incorrectly. Practice at home with bronzer to see if it looks good on you before going out with it on. If you don't like the way it looks, skip this step.

     Apply Blush.
    Apply Blush. If you were not happy with bronzer, you can apply blush instead. Creme blush generally works better than powder because it gives you a dewy look and lasts longer. Using a champagne-tinted creme blush, rub a little on your ring finger and blend onto your cheekbones.Note that you should not apply blush and bronzer—choose one.

     Apply a neutral lip color.
    Apply a neutral lip color. Avoid using chalky lipsticks or shiny lip glosses. Lip stain is generally best because it looks natural and lasts all day. Use a color that's close to your natural lip color.
