Au Natural for Those More Fond of Dramatic Looks
If you’re more into dark, dramatic looks, changing to something a bit more natural can be a bit of a task. After all, what looks natural? What doesn’t? How can you transition? First of all, you need to look at your eye makeup. It is usually the most dramatic of a woman’s makeup. What are you wearing?
Dark eyeliner. True, it’s normal to have a black eyeliner pencil kicking around in your makeup bag, but if you’re looking for something more natural, then you might want to opt for a brown instead. You also want to keep the liner on your top lid as thin as you can possibly get it and as close to your lash line as you can possibly get it.
Mascara. If you don’t have black lashes already, or you’re more fair skinned and light haired, you may want to look into different color of mascara. Brown and grey are both options to help you look a bit more natural.
Brows. This is generally a given anyways, but use a pencil or eyeshadow very close to your hair color, or just a tad darker. For redheads, you can use a brown pencil if you wish, but could also give an orange eyeliner very close to your natural color if desired (depending on how natural you want to look).
For lips, keep everything either nude, or, for simplicity, eat something! This may sound ridiculous, but your lips tend to flush when you’re eating. Look at the color or take a picture if needed. This is the darkest that you can get if you want to look natural. This also gives you a bit of playroom for your lipcolor, because you don’t absolutely HAVE to get that dark.
Face. Keep foundation as close as possible to natural skin color. If you can’t get it quite right use a setting powder that is a little darker or lighter to help even up your skin tone to make it look more natural.
