How can I make my makeup look more natural?

I really want to wear some, but I don't know how to get it to look natural and not like I globbed on some makeup...


Also, is E.L.F a good makeup company? I really like their stuff.


thx!How can I make my makeup look more natural?
try starting with mineral makeup. it's very pure for the most part, and goes on in very sheer layers so you can build coverage only where you need it. go for earth tones, like neutral taupes or browns as eyeshadows, and a simple thin black line on the top lid if you want to try eyeliner. use a lipcolor that best matches the color of the inside of your lower lip; it'll look like your own lips, but better. you can use that same color as a blush, as well, maybe going slightly pinker.





edit: if you're only 13, stay away from foundation! you want to hold off on it for as LONG as possible. if you have some blemishes you need to cover, just pat a tiny bit of a mineral foundation on top to hide it a bit.





as for E.L.F., they are very hit and miss with their products. some, like their eyeshadow singles and studio-quality blushes, are really amazing, but others like their eyeliners or shimmer sticks, are pretty bad quality. the good thing about them, though, is that everything is so cheap, you won't have to regret wasting any money. i'd say if you still want to try them, try their ';studio'; line of cosmetics. they're $3 each, but SO much better than their $1 counterparts.How can I make my makeup look more natural?
well i use Youngblood makeup, i've never tried E.L.F.





what i do is, i put on rice powder, concealer, blush, eyeliner and mascara but i only put eyeliner on the outsides of my eyes (not all the way around) and i only use concealer where it's needed - unless someone's right next to my face (like 3 inches away) then they can't tell i'm wearing anything besides eyeliner. the trick is not to put on more than you need.
Just wear less of it. If you want to look really natural, go with simple colors, like grays and browns. Regardless of whether your wearing eye shadow or not you should always be wearing mascara, and eye liner if it suits you. As for E.L.F. i've never heard of it. I like M.A.C. make-up personally, and other brands like cover girl and maybelline, you know, common stuff.
don't use foundation...just use concealer for face


for eyes, you can use natural colours, but don't put too much eyeliner.


and for lips, go for clear lipgloss instead of coloured ones





i think those are the key points for a natural look


just don't overdo it and you'll be fine ^^





hope this helps ^^
try neutral mascara/eyeliner colors like brown or gray. also, try eyeshadow shades that are lighter and more skin tone colored, like tans and pinks (shimmery ones are the best! they look natural but are still super pretty). try using clear lipgloss or in a shade close to your lip color. and for foundation, only use it if you really need it. a good product i personally luv is ';almost makeup'; by clinique. its like foundation, but its lighter. and for your elf question, ya! :) they're products are really cute :)
wear a little bit and just neutral colors. i do this look a ton of times. i use browns, cream-colored, tan, light sheer shimmer colors. I curl my lahes and use one coat of mascara, is use really light colored blush and only apply a little bit. i don't use foundation or powder (i never do that is so gross to me!) and i don't use eyeliner or bronzer. as for the lips just use balm or a clear gloss or nude color.
Try going for sheer liquid foundation to give you that dewy and nautural look. Use a powder concealer for eyes only. Go for a nude lip liner and some lip balm. It will give you a natural glow to your lips and will look great ! Go for a pinky blush and only apply it lightly to the apple of your cheeks. For mascara apply it only to the outer upper corners of your eyelashes, it will look more natural than applying it to the whole lash.


I hope this helped(:


oh for e.l.f i heard that there brushes are really bad, so don't buy them! for the makeup im not sure
Brown eye shadows look really pretty and natural. Sorry, I'm not familiar with E.L.F.
