The rules of natural makeup
The main task of natural makeup for every day is to make the face look fresh, but expressive. In daylight, the abuse of tonal foundation, powder, shadows and correctors will turn makeup into a vulgar mask. The girl should try to find a version of the natural image, in which you will need to use a small amount of makeup. However, do not forget that even professional makeup will not hide the shortcomings, if you do not take care of daily skin care. Do not neglect regular cleansing, moisturizing the skin with special cosmetics.

- Perfect face tone. To achieve this effect, use foundation, powder, and corrector. It is also important to consider that the tonal base is not too dark in color, even if you want to create the effect of a light tan. The corrector should be lighter than the base by no more than one tone;
- Thick and well-groomed eyebrows. In a natural way, eyebrows are of great importance. The color of the pencil or eyebrow shadow should match the color of the hairs. Blondes are suitable shades of light brown or ashy shades, brunettes - dark colors of the palette;
- Emphasis on the eyes. Bring your eyes in with light brown pencils or the shadows of a brown palette, and then blend the lines. Regardless of the color of the eyes, shades of the most neutral shades are applied to the eyelids. In the end, be sure to draw mascara over the eyelashes with one layer;
- Natural blush on the face. A suitable shade for natural makeup is a palette of beige and pink shades. Makeup artists recommend applying them with a large, soft brush. Golden rule: blush should not be applied to those places that appear when smiling;

Activator from Advanced Génifique from Lancôme is ideal for moisturizing young skin. This cosmetics differs from others in a softer consistency, which is quickly absorbed, moisturizing and thereby protecting the skin from dehydration.
Apply a small amount of cream on the T-zone and gently spread it over the entire face. The moisturizer activates the main signs of youth - natural radiance, freshness, firmness, elasticity, tone and smoothness.
Drawing a tonal basis
For applying natural make-up for every day, a tonalnik, enclosed in a two-tier container, is best suited. Due to convenient packaging, you can evenly distribute the tonal base in just a couple of minutes. Gently apply the Teint Idole Ultra foundation to the entire face, starting from the center. In the next step, blend the product with patting movements towards the contours of the face. Fluid foundation will correct imperfections, while not creating a mask effect, and also give the face a natural glow.
To choose the right foundation, take two shades that you think are the most suitable, and apply each of them to the cheekbones. The number that will completely merge with the skin tone suits you.
In the summer, it is recommended to use matting tonal foundations, in the fall - a denser and more saturated texture. Also do not forget that for the cold season, foundation should be moisturizing and nourishing.
Corrector application
First of all, apply the Effacernes Long Tenue Corrector of the appropriate shade to the inner corner of the eye. Further, the tonal corrector is shaded with gentle movements with the fingertips towards the center of the eye.

The remnants of the corrector on the fingertips can be shaded over the entire moving eyelid, especially in the presence of a reddening zone. With the help of this trick, you can create the effect of smooth skin on all parts of the face.
Eyebrow shaping and fixation
Using a special brush, comb the eyebrows in the direction of hair growth. Then fill in the areas where there are gaps with a pencil and eye shadow for eyebrows of a suitable shade, and then evenly distribute the texture along the entire length of the eyebrows. The Kabuki brush can help blend the pigment beautifully, creating a smoky effect.
For natural makeup for every day, it is best to form eyebrows just after applying the foundation, and not before, as in other types of makeup. If you are the owner of oily skin, do not press hard on the pencil.
After filling out the shape of the eyebrows, it is important to fix them and add volume. Using a special eyebrow gel, for example, Sourcils Styler, lay your hair. The gel not only fixes, but also gives the hair a shade of color and makes them more lively. When applying this tool, you need to comb the eyebrows not by height, but by slightly raising the hairs. At this time, the position of the applicator should be located upward on the diagonal, this will give the hairs extra volume.

Mascara application
To achieve eyelash volume, use Monsieur Big Mascara. Apply mascara from the roots in a single layer, this will help the eyelashes to look natural.The advantage of such a mascara is that if at the end of the day you want to overpay makeup in the evening, you can add several layers. Also, do not worry that lashes will begin to form on the eyelashes, the mascara has a plastic texture, so the eyelashes will not stick together.
Due to the fact that the cilia are arranged according to the panorama principle, try to direct the mascara brush so that it repeats their location. In natural makeup, the lower eyelashes are also tinted - from the roots, this will help to make the eyes visually not look round.

The advantage of this cosmetics is that it is easy to blend, has a transparent texture and provides long-lasting make-up. Mono-shadows are applied both in dry form and in wet form.
Apply shadows using the standard highlighter pattern. Brush the upper part of the cheekbones, the area under the eyebrow, the back of the nose, in the area above the upper lip and in the center of the chin. A few shadows can be shaded along the ciliary contour.
Lip decoration

Shake the bottle before use so that the applicator is thoroughly saturated with the product. First of all, with patting movements, the lipstick is applied to the central part of the lips, then it is shaded towards the edges. This technique will give the lips a natural look.
Major mistakes
When creating a natural image, the main thing is to follow some simple rules. In natural makeup, there are several basic mistakes that can add a girl a few extra years.
A dense drawing of eyebrows and a pronounced angle at the nose. With dense eyebrow staining and a clear outline, the upper part of the face will look “heavy” and frowned. In order not to spoil the natural make-up for every day, apply the main pigment on the middle part of the eyebrow and its “tail”. Then you slightly shade the eyebrow shadow, almost not bringing the color to the bridge of the nose.
Hard sculpting. Many girls are mistaken when they decide to focus on natural cheekbones in natural makeup. One of the main mistakes in sculpting is to bring the cheekbone line almost to the lips.
Busting with foundation or powder. The foundation and powder will help create a natural image only with proper use. Excessive amount of foundation or powder, as well as neglect of the quality of funds can make your makeup unnatural and rude. As an example, you can immediately notice how in the picture on the left the skin looks messy due to an excessively dense layer of foundation and powder. The girl's face on the right glows with freshness and naturalness.
Mascara lumps. In each makeup, mascara is designed to highlight the eyes, add volume, length and color to the eyelashes. However, it is especially important to properly apply eyelashes in a natural way. After all, make-up for every day does not imply a lot of accents, one of the main ones is mascara. It happens that it dries and lays too thick, this will lead to the fact that the cilia are stuck together and will look not only untidy, but also vulgar.
Inaccurate lip contour. First of all, you need to make sure that the color of the lipstick looks natural and is combined with the shade of a lip liner. The lip liner needs to be brought extremely carefully, visually creating a swelling of the lips.
