natural makeup tutorial

Have you ever had one of those times when you wanted it to seem like you didn’t put any effort into your look at all? Like your just rolled out of bed looking like Miranda Kerr? Like you defy the laws of normal-people skin with a perpetually glowing complexion sans dark circles? The worst thing is when your makeup is too visible, or visible at all, for that matter.

I got real excited when I happened upon this photo tutorial while on Pinterest the other day. It shows how to apply makeup so that you don’t look like you applied makeup. All that’s needed is some highlighting powder, a brow pencil that blends with your natural hair color, neutral eyeshadow tones that basically look like your skin only better, and an angled brush with some soft brown eyeliner. I’d throw in some brown mascara while we’re at it, too, even though it’s not shown here. I prefer to be lashed for days even when I’m trying to look au natural.
