Create My Natural Look

Natural Look Make-up

As you guys know, I usually like to rock a natural look. It’s pretty easy to create a look that makes you feel “put together” while still maintaining your natural appearance. This natural look is great for daytime activities like a fun outdoor date, catching a bite to eat with a friend or just running around town getting things done. Sometimes you feel like heading out with no make-up at all but this look comes pretty close to a no make-up look, while at the same time, giving you that extra bit of a polished appearance. To start off my look, I applied a simple, light pressed powder to my face. I used Cover Girl Tru Blend Pressed Powder in Translucent Honey #3

I like it because it provides great coverage and works similarly to a foundation. I feel it’s perfect on its own. If you want to add some foundation or concealer underneath, that’s fine but there really is no need. It covers smoothly, evenly and fully but does not look heavy. It still manages to maintain a natural look It creates a nice matte, smooth look. The accompanying sponge works wonderfully. You can add a facial moisturizer of your choice underneath, for a bit of a glow peering through, underneath the powder.

For my eyes, I kept the look natural. I didn’t use any eye shadow or liner, just the powder as a base. I left my eye brows natural and boosted the look of my eyes, made them pop with Maybelline Volum’ Express the Rocket Mascara in Very Black
This mascara’s awesome because it gives your eyes that va va va voom…  long, full thick lashes that stand out alone, without the need for added shadows or liners. The shape and size of the applicator brush is perfect for creating that voluminous look; after only one or two applications and without any clumps. I gave my cheeks a hint of natural color with

Maybelline Face Studio Master Glaze Blush Stick in Make A Mauve #50

...a nice bit of added shimmer to compliment my natural look.

Accentuating your cheek bones with a blush stick is so convenient. You just dab it on with the stick, where you’d like that hint of color, and simply blend with a make-up sponge or your fingers.

I gave my lips a sweet natural look and glossy shine with Maybelline Baby Lips Crystal in Pink Quartz #140 This lip balm smells delicious and it gives your lips a beautiful color as well. They feel moisturized and nourished; but you also get the benefit of a sparkling shine and a generous amount of long-lasting color.

Natural Look for Nails

To create a natural look for my nails, I first created a protective base coat with Sally Hansen Hard As Nails, a great nail hardener that protects my nails from discoloration that might occur if I applied my nail color directly to my nails. Next I added a subtle, natural color to my nails, to pull together my overall natural look with

My Natural Look Hair

To finish off my natural look, I just rocked my usual fun natural hair. I really love using Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine shampoo, conditioner and leave-in conditioner The shampoo is nice and gentle so it doesn’t strip my hair of moisture, just leaves it feeling soft with the proper moisture balance. The conditioner is awesome because I don’t have to use too much, a little goes a long way because it’s jam packed with moisturizing ingredients. It helps to soften, smooth and detangle my hair while I comb it in the shower. Plus the products smell delicious!

When I hop out of the shower, I replenish my hair further with an added layer of protective ingredients in the Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Leave-in Conditioning Cream It ensures my hair is even softer, more manageable and easier to detangle with my brush. I pop it into a ponytail and let it dry by air to keep it orderly.
