Natural, basic makeup techniques
When all you have are few minutes for makeup
If
you are in a hurry, there is no excuse for not
applying makeup. If you do it right, makeup
can be applied within minutes. In this
series of articles on quick
makeup techniques, we have been analyzing how
you can create different types of looks with
makeup within minutes. Mandy Moore is a big
fan of too much makeup. "Less is more," she
says.
Skin
You will
need concealer (to cover under eye circles and skin flaws),
moisturizer with sun protection, powder (loose or compact),
and bronzer or blush.
- Apply moisturizer over clean face. If you prefer, you can use a tinted moisturizer.
- Apply the concealer with your finger or a makeup sponge. Cover the darker areas around the eyes or other problems areas.
- Apply the powder all over the skin.
- Apply the blush or bronzer over the cheeks. Smile and apply from the center of your cheeks up and out. For a natural look, you may get a light tone.
Eyes
You will need
a duo of shadows. Buy a package of two shadows or two different ones: one light pink or almost white to illuminate the area, and one brown or other color you may like.
You will also need mascara and eye curler.

- Apply mascara
Lips
You will need
lipstick and lip-gloss. Simply apply the lipstick and
then put lip-gloss over it. (Related:
