Keep it classy rather then trashy! Want to look natural but not over-the-top or noticeable? Discover how to be sneaky with your makeup while still looking beautiful!
1. Begin with a freshly washed face. Apply cleanser to a wet face. Use clean hands or a wash cloth and rub the cleanser gently in repetitive circles. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry with a fresh wash cloth. Don’t rub–this could irritate your skin!
2. If you have very bad acne, you may want to apply a liquid foundation, but be careful! An overload of liquid makeup can be very noticeable and you could get caught! Apply thinly and evenly. Avoid putting a lot of makeup in the center of the face.
3. (You can skip step 2 if you have pretty good skin.)
4. If you have light-colored skin, take an orange mineral foundation and apply to small blemishes. Use your forefinger (if your hands are washed) to apply. If you have darker skin, use a bronze color.
5. Now take a mineral foundation that is the color of your skin and apply to the previous areas. This makes your skin look more even and covers up the blemishes even more.
6. Take the foundation that is the same color of your skin and apply with a thick, stout brush to the other areas of your face. DO NOT layer this on—MINERAL MAKEUP CAN LOOK VERY NOTICEABLE IN THE LIGHT.
7. Next, take an angled brush. Find a color of blush that suits your skin tone and apply to the apples of your cheeks. Smile while doing so. Take a kabuki brush with no makeup on it and blend in the makeup. This spreads the blush and makes you look more natural.
8. For the eyes, apply a beige or pink color to your eyelids only. If you have pinkish/salmon colored skin, use beige or a light brown color with a bit of sparkle!
9. Now apply brown eyeliner to the top lid. Open your eyes slightly while doing this. Make sure the line isn’t too thick or people will notice! Make sure the line is thin. Using a smudge brush, “smudge” the eyeliner to make it more natural and blended in.
10. Apply the same brown eyeliner to the lower lid. Make sure the line is thin! To make the eyeliner not as dark, apply a silver green or silver over the brown. This color mixture is flattering to most any color eye without being to harsh.
11. Apply black eyeliner to your lashes. Don’t use too much or your parents or friends will certainly notice. However, don’t apply too little. Be bold.
12. Apply a soft color–brown, blue mascara–to lower lashes. You can use black if you prefer, but to avoid be noticed, softer colors are better.
13. Play up the lips. Take a neutral lipstick and apply to upper and lower lips. Avoid smacking your lips together, as this can mess up the lipstick before it dries.
14. Apply lip gloss over your lipstick for a smooth look.
