Things You'll Need:
- a sheer concealer
- an eyeliner pencil in an earthy shade
- OR a medium to dark eye shadow and brush to apply
- mascara
- bronzer or blush
- sheer lip color or gloss
-
Step 1
Cleanse your face and moisturize first. A moisturized face is so important! Makeup will not look flawless on flaky skin, and will tend to fall into creases.
-
Step 2
Using your sheer concealer, dot it on any reddened areas or areas of discoloration, such as around the nose and the eyes. Be sure to use 'pat' motions--rubbing will spread it so thinly that you might not get the result you want. Also use the concealer on the eye lid and under the eye. This will help your brighten your eyes by getting rid of darkness.

Step 3
Using a fat brush (such as a bronzer brush), swirl into blush or bronzer powder. Fluff the color along your cheekbones, and finally swipe along your forehead and chin.
-
Step 4
Using your eye pencil, make a dotted line along upper and lower lash line. Connect any dots with soft strokes. Or, if you have shadow and a brush, load your brush and dot/blend along lash lines. Keep it smudgy. Eyeliner really helps to bring out your eyes. If needed, gently pull your lid toward your temple as you line your upper lid. It helps to create a 'smooth' surface.

Step 5
Finally, sweep some mascara along your lashes and swipe some of your sheer gloss on your lips. You're done and you look great without looking 'made up'!
