Before you start, you want to make sure that you have the proper and necessities or all the tools that you need to do the natural look. The most important thing is a natural foundation. This look is all about the skin. It's about being fresh faced, young, and glowy. You want to use a very sheer foundation. I'm going to use a basic tinted moisturizer, very light coverage foundation. Secondly, you want to make sure that you have a very neutral lip color. This is not about the lips. The lips are just going to be very nude and neutral. Something with a little glow or gloss to it is fine. I'm using a very sheer lipstick. As far as eye shadow goes, you want all neutral colors. Champagnes, taupe’s, browns, a very pretty brown eyeliner. Anything in the neutral tones. It can be shimmery or iridescent to a point. They don't all have to be matte. Then a really nice bronzer, blush, or both that's kind of in the neutral brown tones. It could have a tint of pink to it, but not too much. Something just very, very natural. You also want to make sure that you have all your brushes in hand. You want to make sure you have a nice powder brush, a nice blush brush, and all the good brushes you need to apply your eye shadows because your makeup is only going to go on as good as your brushes are. Make sure that you have a nice brush set up. If you get good brushes they will last you forever, as long as you take care of them. Now that we have all our tools, we're going to start out with the skincare. Then we're going to go on to foundation, and then we'll move on to color.
