If you’re looking for a simple makeup look, check out this step-by-step guide for how to create a natural makeup look. Then upgrade it with enhancements for eyes, cheeks and lips that can take you from natural to supernatural in a snap!
NATURAL MAKEUP TIP: BLEND, BLEND, BLEND!
The key to creating a believable no-makeup look is always blending your makeup! After applying highlighter and/or blush, blend them with a clean Mary Kay® All-Over Powder Brush for a seamless, natural finish. The same applies to your eyes! Always blend your eye shadow with a brush like the Mary Kay® Eye Blending Brush.
STEP 3: FRAME YOUR FACE.
Whether you like to keep things simple or you’re the queen of #InstaGlam looks, grooming your eyebrows is key since they are the frame of your face! If your brows are naturally full, just brush them in place with the Mary Kay® Eyebrow/Eyeliner Brush. You can even use a little of the Mary Kay Naturally® Moisturizing Stick to help tame them! If you need to fill in some sparser areas, use the Mary Kay® Precision Brow Liner in the best shade for your hair color using hairlike strokes for a natural look. You can also clean up around and define your brows with Mary Kay® Perfecting Concealer and the Cream Color Brush.
NATURAL MAKEUP TIP: SISTERS, NOT TWINS
When it comes to grooming and filling in your eyebrows, remember that your brows aren’t meant to look identical. So don’t worry if they look a little different. They’re meant to be sisters, not twins!
STEP 4: UNLIMITED SHINE
Lip gloss is the perfect finishing touch for barely there makeup because it gives you the perfect amount of shine with just enough pigment to show your lips some love. Just glide on a Mary Kay Unlimited® Lip Gloss in a pink or brown lip color that flatters your skin tone, or use Chocolate Nude. A little bit of this brown-based nude looks amazing on everyone!
• Mary Kay Unlimited® Lip Gloss for Light Skin: Nude Blush or Unique Mauve
• Mary Kay Unlimited® Lip Gloss for Medium Skin: Unique Mauve or Tawny Nude
• Mary Kay Unlimited® Lip Gloss for Dark Skin: Tawny Nude or Chocolate Nude
EASY UPGRADES FOR NATURAL MAKEUP LOOKS
Looking for a little more color? Try one or more of these upgrades to give your natural makeup look a little oomph!
CHEEKS
Double the glow by adding an extra dusting of Mary Kay Chromafusion® Highlighter in Glazed or Honey Glow to your cheekbones, and don’t forget to blend!
LIPS
Smooth on a brick-red lipstick shade like Red Smolder or Poppy Please instead of a nude lip gloss. You can even layer these shades for a subtle ombre look. Both shades give lip-cushioning gel comfort, so your lips will love wearing them!
EYES
Add light-catching metallic shades to your eyes with three shimmering Mary Kay Chromafusion® Eye Shadows: Granite (eyelid), Rose Gold (crease) and Crystalline (brow bone and inner corner). Line the top lashline with MK Deep Brown Eyeliner. Finish with Lash Intensity® Mascara to multiply the look of your lashes, or use your favorite Mary Kay® mascara.
