Some women like to look natural and some like to look glamorous. Some do not know how to get one or the other. This article outlines ways to bring out your natural beauty with your makeup application, how you take special care of your body as part of your beauty routine, and what clothes are most likely to put you center stage.

get a glow

Use a body scrub to exfoliate all the dead skin on your body while you shower. When you get out of the shower, pat dry and use a gradual artificial tanning lotion, like the award-winning Jergen’s Natural Glow, to give your skin the warmth of a sun kiss.

wear minimal makeup

Your natural beauty makeup kit consists solely of a liquid or mineral powder foundation, bronzer, pink blush, black or brown mascara, and a particular color of lipstick. The trick to choosing the right lipstick to enhance your natural beauty is to match your nipple color as closely as possible. Once you’ve applied your “face,” smile and blush the apples of your cheeks. Suck in your cheeks and lightly tan your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and your temples and the middle of your forehead where the sun would naturally kiss. Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler and apply enough mascara for contrast. Apply your “custom” lipstick and your makeup is complete!

Jennifer Love Hewitt once admitted in an interview that she liked to sit in a steamy bathtub after putting on her makeup for a date. She set her makeup and gave her a healthy glow!

hair for special occasions

The best thing about bringing out your natural beauty is that it looks effortless, and sometimes it is. Although a hairstyle is not easy, it really brings out the color, texture and body of your hair. If you can’t do this service in the salon, you can google how to do it yourself at home with a blow dryer and its appropriate barrel piece and round brush.

Natural Nails

Consider supplementing your diet with essential vitamins and minerals. There are vitamins particularly useful for improving the health and elasticity of hair, skin and nails, but you can also eat certain foods or drink a protein/nutrition shake to fill in your nutritional gaps. Rub your hands with an exfoliating product or brush and soak them in milk to make them silky smooth. Manicure your nails and paint them with a strengthening, clear top coat.

Wear clothes that complement your favorites

What are your favorite features? What characteristics compliment you the most? Write these characteristics down on a piece of paper and take the list to your closet where you will “buy” items of clothing that display these characteristics. Select a few outfits with the pieces you’ve selected and keep this list in mind the next time you go shopping for clothes.
