If you understand me (and possibilities are you don’t yet, however I do hope we get there!), then you’ll understand that I like color, particularly when it is available in the type of a TF-engraved bullet — however I’m not one to underestimate the power of purple eyeshadow or teal liner either.

Yet the comments I get the most on my blog are when I wear natural, traditional looks. Which got me wondering… How’s that even possible? Can you wear vibrant makeup as well as still look natural?

Well, as a matter of fact, YES, I believe you totally can! just like whatever in life, it’s a concern of balance.

Which just means that if you play something up, you should play something else down. So, if you’re utilizing bright shades on your eyes or lips, in order to get well-balanced, natural-looking makeup, my primary tip is to go extremely very little with your base as well as brows. let me explain this in more detail…

Even though I commonly have rather a few acnes to conceal, I usually like to apply a lightweight foundation (my oily skin likes Chanel perfection Lumière Velvet, since it’s matte, yet luminous), as well as then utilize a full-coverage concealer only on my issue areas, to ensure that the end result is extremely natural as well as not mask-like at all.

Contour subtly with powder products

Since cream contour can commonly look as well heavy as well as harsh, I suggest opting for shaping powders, which are not as simple to overdo.

Skip the highlight

I understand highlighters are all popular these days, however in my viewpoint the extremely shimmery/metallic ones can look quite artificial. If you feel like your skin tone looks as well boring as well as flat, try utilizing something more downplayed like the hourglass Ambient illumination Powders or a highlighting blush.

Keep your brows as natural possible

I believe this is truly vital to balance out those crazy hues. extremely strong, sculpted brows can quickly make you look overdone, so my tip is to either utilize a tinted gel to define as well as set in one single step, or a pencil to extremely lightly fill them in (for a softer look, try utilizing the side of the tip rather than the point).

Although your Instagram or Pinterest feeds are most likely suggesting that makeup isn’t total without falsies as well as thick black liner, I personally disagree. In my opinion, if you’re going for a colorful, yet fresh-faced look, you can just avoid them altogether. OR, if you discover that lashings of mascara aren’t sufficient to define your eyes, I suggest adding a extremely thin line with a bit flick and/or private lashes.

If you’re somebody who’s always been drawn in to vibrant makeup however have never dared to wear it in public, you may wanna provide this pared-down version a try.

Most people won’t even notice! The other day, while I was using this lime eco-friendly as well as purple eyeshadow, in chronological order I met:

A shipment guy who didn’t bat an eyelash, even though I had only one eye done (why do they always come to the door at the worst possible time? WHY???). You may be thinking, that doesn’t count, since he’s most likely seen things that we humans wouldn’t believe… fair enough, just let me go on with my list.

My downstairs neighbor, the sweetest 90-year-old to ever walk this world (and potentially the very best cook in town. She always makes her landing odor divine!). I don’t understand if lime eco-friendly eyeshadow even existed back when she was born, however the smile she greeted me with was the exact same as any type of other day.

The owner of the create store around the corner. With the ridiculous amount of avocados I buy from him, I may extremely well be his finest customer, so I don’t believe he’d provide a damn even if he saw me go into his store using one of woman Gaga’s earliest makeup looks as well as outfits, as long as I keep visiting his store. I’ve never truly tried that, however I can guarantee you that he didn’t provide me any type of sidelong glances for using lime eco-friendly as well as purple on my eyes.

The fourth grader I’m mentor English to. She’s the only one who really noticed my vibrant shadows (and funny-looking hair) as well as stated that I resembled one of the Winx Club fairies… trust me, she meant it as HUUUGE compliment.

אף אחד מהטיפים האלה אינם כללים בלתי ניתנים לשבירה. אני מאמין בתוקף שכאשר מדובר באיפור, אין זכות או לא בסדר, רק מה שאתה עושה כמו גם לא אוהב. אז הניסוי, לשחק, יש כיף … אחרי הכל, זה לא מה איפור הוא באמת על?!
