When it comes to make-up looks, the eyes and lips are the most important elements. There are a million different how-to videos out there that demonstrate complex ways to maximize these areas. What all this tells us is that it has to be complicated to get the look of large and luscious lips and bright and sexy eyes. This is so far from the truth. There are very simple and easy to do methods to achieving the perfect natural glamour look and it wont take you half an hour to accomplish, rather just a few minutes can get you to this goal.
There are two things that are essential to quick and easy application that ends in natural glamour results. The first is the quality of the application brushes you choose. Like an artist working with a canvas, the brushes create the texture and subtlety of the look, if you are blending with the wrong tools you will end up with undesirable and uneven results. The second is the quality of the cosmetic products you choose.
You want to use products that are rich in pigmentation, do not go on heavy, and are made with natural ingredients as often as possible. Your face is full of pores, which are as good at absorbing what you put on the surface of your skin as they are at eliminating the toxins from within. Your make-up should allow these pores to breathe, should not clog them up, and should look natural and somewhat translucent on your skin. Light reflective qualities are wonderful for deflecting attention from small flaws in your skin and lines that offer more colors for foundations and powders are going to provide the closest match possible so you never end up with jawline color changes that are distracting and tacky.
The eyes and lips offer you opportunities for playing around with various looks, while the rest should remain relatively simple and really doesn’t change much when shifting from day wear to evening glamour. Natural glamour pure pigment mineral shadows are light and provide a long lasting finish that can easily change gears with your mood. A light pink, peach, or beige creates a natural and fresh look, while dark neutrals, typically greys create the mysterious looks. When it is time to get funky and fun, this is when the colors of the rainbow might make an appearance and you can choose colors that either coordinate or contrast with your natural eye color to achieve maximum impact.
Many people only have one color of liner and mascara, and a basic black is never the wrong choice, though colors are available and brown can take things down even further into a natural look. Like eyes lip color can really drive the train when it comes to what look you are going for. Lining the lips helps keep the lip color from bleeding and will also make your lips look bigger, thicker and fuller when it is applied correctly. Choose a color that is a single shade lighter or darker than the lip color you are using. Simple is better when it comes to your daily beauty routine.
