Using a medium-coverage mineral concealer that is more on the liquid side will help from making your makeup appear matted, or be cake-like in appearance.
Dab it on with your ring finger. , Now, use a powder that is close to your skin tone to avoid making you look 'fake'.
If possible, use a powder with an SPF to help protect you from the sun's harmful rays.

Do not apply concealer again once you have powder over it
- your makeup WILL be matted. , The key to having mascara look very natural is to buy it in the right colour for you.

As another option that suits all hair colours, wear clear mascara.
Apply your mascara on top and underneath your upper lashes to give them a nice coating, and simply on top of the bottom ones.
This will give you a nice look. , Buy a colour that works for you.
If you're fair-skinned, a light rosy colour is good.

Before applying your blush, swirl your blush brush into your blush and tap the excess off.
Apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks for a healthy glow.
To do this, lightly swirl the blush from your apples upwards, and blend out.
Don't make your blush too harsh or you'll look like an overdone Barbie doll, which is not what you're going for. , Finish off with a clear or light pink lip gloss with SPF (15 or higher).
