Beauty Community: A Natural Make-Up Look
So, here’s how I try to get a natural look:
First, I apply concealer on any spots or if I have dark undereye circles. Remember, it’s important to make sure your concealer is a tone that matches your skin color or is a shade lighter.
Next, I use a moisturizing foundation that blends in well with my skin tone. I find a tinted moisturizer is best since it provides lighter coverage and doesn’t apply too heavily so your face looks “caked-on.”
Third, applying powder helps reduce shine. It’s only necessary to apply a small amount (usually on the T-zone). I think my GC Loose Micro-Fine powders are the perfect tool to add a radiant glow to your skin, and diffuse fine lines and wrinkles!
Blush is a great tool to give you a healthy glow. Obviously, don’t use too much – you don’t want to look like a clown. I apply just enough color, usually in a warm pink or peachy tone, to give me a fresh look.
For eye shadow, I like to stick to light browns and pinks to achieve a subtle look. Once you start adding vibrant blues and greens, it stops looking natural.
Finally, it’s best to keep lips natural with a tinted lip gloss or lip balm. I think the GC Glossy Lips in “Perfect Fit” or “Newport” are really natural shades.

Which eye shadows do you usually use for your natural look? And in what order/where do you apply them? You always look so beautiful I would love some tips!
I love this natural look! You look stunning! I enjoy doing the natural look as I love my eyeshadow but sometimes it does become a chore. xx
I love the natural look. You look beautiful!
Great tips! Obviously a good skin care regimen is most important as well!
You should add a pinterest button to your blog posts! :)
Hi Gretchen! I was wondering if you have ever considered doing makeup tutorials on Youtube? You could do the tutorials on yourself or friends and use your makeup products and that will definitely help sell your line. Millions of women(and some men) are part of the YT beauty community (myself included) and I would LOVE to see some tutorials from you! Think about it, I know your busy but I really think it would be a great idea! :)
I love you, you are one of my favorite housewives
