We found out that the most appropriate method to natural makeup looks, are to use different eyeshadow colors methodically and precisely, but be cautious as the harsh lines of your eyelid may look weird.
How do you do a natural makeup look for beginners?
Here are a few basics makeup ideas for all you readers before starting on your journey to fabulous looking eyes.
- Eye primer can go smoothly and stay for a longer period

- Prep your eyelid with primer before applying other makeup products on your eyes. The primer can give a durable flawless and polished look to your eyes
- Primer of different brands is available in the market. Try one primer that works well for you and stick to it
Use Concealer To Cover Dark Circles
- Dark circles are revealing signs of sleep deprivation, and you have to conceal them well with the help of concealer before applying any makeup
- Choose a concealer that includes moisturizer
- Eye bags, also known as ” puffy eyes ” is the swelling of tissues under the eyes, caused by fluid buildup. Concealing them will be helpful. Ensure to lightly apply concealer because the skin around the eye is tender and delicate
- A thick layer of concealer under eyes will make them look like creased and cakey
Mildly blend all colors so that the whole lid looks smooth and seamless. Consider using a feathery and soft brush to blend colors. The soft brush makes it easy to gently blend all colors.
There are different primers out there for different types of shadows and skin issues. Find the right one(s) that work for your skin and the makeup looks you are going for. An online store like Sephora can help you with this.
The next step is making sure that you apply and let the eyeshadow set properly. Cream and liquid eyeshadows need time to dry before you blink. Pencils and creams may need to be set with a finishing powder to stay on better.
Flawlessly put on eyeliner
According to reputable British makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury, to create that elusive Cat eye makeup look, thick lines is recommended to allow you to get a dramatic impression.
It will be good to apply eyeliner to the top and bottom of your lash line. Thick black eyeliner is making a comeback (as seen at Marc Jacob’s fashion shows) Just don’t apply a thin line above your lashes.
More crucially, though, formula and product matters. All these MUA-tested and approved eyeliners will stick to your waterline all day.
Amy Miranda is an award winning professional makeup artist and she likes her eyeliner to wing it out a bit at the end. They go on silky smooth and the color lasts like forever.
If you want to apply liquid eyeliner, you have to do lots of practice to create harsh lines. Remember, practice makes perfect…as the saying goes! Gels and powders can be a good choice for beginners to create softer looks.
Start making a line from outside and slowly move inward. Stop before getting to close toward your nose. Lining the whole perimeter of eyes towards the nose may give a closer and smaller look to your eyes.
Best for a natural look
To apply mascara to lashes, commence at the foundation and slowly move toward its ends. While moving along lashes, slightly wiggle mascara wand forth and back. It will avoid clumps sticking to your eyelashes.
If you have to apply it on the bottom and top lashes, start with bottom lashes.
If you get started with top lashes, you will get mascara on eyelid while looking down trying to apply mascara on your bottom lashes. You can apply multiple coats of mascara to build layers and make your eyelashes look thicker.
Curl Lashes
- Be certain to curl lashes before applying eyeliner, mascara or eyeshadow because it can smudge your eye makeup
- Hold an eyelash curler at the foundation of lashes and press it down for almost three seconds
- Do it twice in the middle of eyelashes and once at their ends
- One of the ( experts ) secret is to slightly warm an eyelash curler with a hairdryer to get crisp curls. Avoid overheating as you may hurt your sensitive skin
