How To Look Naturally Gorgeous With Confidence 

Not everyone is blessed with flawless skin, long, dark lashes, or perfectly shaped lips and brows. However, we’re all blessed with our own unique forms of beauty and individual features that make us beautiful. 

The aim of a natural makeup look is to highlight that natural beauty, bringing out your best features without masking or overwhelming them. Being able to look your best but still look like you is a real confidence boost, and there’s no need to cake on foundation or hide behind heavy contouring.

Here are some of my favorite tips for achieving a fresh and natural look that helps you exude confidence:

Tip #1: Conceal Lightly

Concealer will be your best friend when it comes to creating a natural and refined look. It’s perfect for hiding dark circles below your eyes, small blemishes, scars, and even fine lines, if necessary. 

Start by applying your concealer of choice to the area below your eyes, being as gentle as possible. You can then cover up any pimples, blemishes or fine lines that you would like to conceal. 

A cream concealer usually works the best for natural looks. Find one that matches your skin tone and apply it thinly using a pointed concealer brush and then blending it softly with your ring finger until no borders are visible. It will also help to enhance your smile, and you can call the cosmetic dentist in chattanooga tn to explore different treatment options.

Tip #2: Skip the Foundation

If you prefer a flawless makeup finish, you can use foundation or base. However, what we’re aiming for here is a look that is as down to earth as possible. Some people can skip foundations and powders entirely, but others are more comfortable with a sheer full-face coverage instead.

If you would like more coverage, try opting for a light mineral foundation powder instead of traditional base. It will still blend out imperfections and discoloration without totally concealing your stunning natural skin tone and features. You could also add some of your foundation to a portion of moisturizer, blend the two products, and then apply them all over your face for a fresh, dewy appearance.

Tip #3: Keep Your Eyes Simple

Looking as natural as possible means keeping your makeup routine simple. Don’t overdo it with your heavy-duty curling mascara, winged liner and dark, smoky eye-shadow. 

I recommend opting for a light coating of mascara (you can use a brown mascara instead of classic black if your hair and skin are on the lighter side), along with a minimal application of taupe or brown eye-liner along your top and bottom lash lines. 

If you want to add something more, consider opting for eyelash extensions or an eyelash lift. If you want to add something more, consider opting for eyelash extensions or an eyelash lift.

Tip #4: Add Some Blush

There are a few key tips for finding the right blush and applying it naturally as possible. First, take a good look at your face without any makeup on. The color of your bare skin when you blush or exercise will indicate the color of blush that would look the most natural on you. 

Once you’ve found your shade, apply it gently to the apples of your cheeks with a large, soft brush. Use a tiny amount to start with—you can always build up the intensity as you work. A healthy glow will make you feel your best, even if it comes from a compact.

Tip #5: Prioritize Dewy Skin

Dewy skin is a timeless beauty trend that you can achieve easily at home. It will make you appear youthful, refreshed and energized, and I think it’s an essential part of any natural makeup regime. Plus, great skin is a super confidence booster!

For dewy skin, try mixing an almond-sized portion of BB cream with a small drop of illuminating cream or highlighter. Apply onto your face and blend well for skin that glows all day long. If you’re worried this may make you look shiny, a (very) light dusting of translucent powder or a fixing spray will settle the look. 

Tip #6: Use an Industry Secret Eye-Liner Trick

Here’s a handy trick used throughout the makeup artistry industry to give you the appearance of clear, bright and wide eyes. First, grab a flesh-toned eye-liner pencil in a shade a few steps lighter than your natural skin tone. 

Apply it liberally to the bottom waterline (above your lower lashes) of both eyes. Then add a clear mascara to seal the deal. This trick will significantly widen the appearance of your eyes, giving you that bright, confident look that we all want to portray.

Tip #7: Don’t Forget To Smile

A confident smile makes everyone look beautiful, and even more so if it's framed by soft, kissable lips. If smiling isn’t something you enjoy because of dental issues, jaw misalignment caused by TMD, or discolored teeth, now’s the time to make a change for the better. Visit your dentist, explore jaw alignment techniques, or invest in a whitener. 

Smiling with confidence is the secret to true natural beauty. And, if you apply a matte lipstick, balm or gloss lightly, you can perfectly complement your happy expression.

Your Natural Beauty, Perfected

Every one of us is naturally beautiful, and we all have features that make us unique. My ultimate tip for highlighting your individual beauty is to focus your efforts on what you love most about yourself. 

If you have amazing cheekbones, be sure to contour them with bronzer and highlighter to show them off. If your eyes could stop traffic, spend extra time creating fluttery lashes and lining them to perfection. If you have lips that any Hollywood A-lister would envy, give them some love by using a nourishing balm or lipstick in the ideal shade for your skin tone. And if you have a wonderful smile, wear it!

Mastering the art of natural makeup will require noticing and celebrating your facial features and making the most of whatever nature gave you. You are the masterpiece, and any makeup you wear simply provides the finishing touch!
