"How can I apply my makeup so that it looks more natural?"

Advice from: Monica Diaz, Makeup Artist and Owner of Cara Int'l Cosmetics
 
"Natural looking makeup starts with using makeup in moderation. Lots of times we get very excited with the new runway looks and forget that those are looks for the runway, not for everyday. Keep colors soft that match your complexion, this does not necessarily mean it all has to be brown shades which could be very drab. Remember you use makeup to add color to yourself. You might use brown shadows that highlight your eyes and you a soft mauve or coral lipstick and a soft pink or bronze on cheeks. This adds color to your face without being to strong or too boring."
