I am going to tell you what I think the best products for this are.





Lancome Photogenic concealer. It adjusts light to make the skin look better. It's about $25 now I think, but it can last for several months because a little goes a long way. Apply it under your eyes with a concealer brush for the best coverage. You can also apply with a cosmetic sponge but the coverage will be a little less.





Then apply Neutrogena Healthy Skin Glow Sheers foundation all over your face, even your eyes. It is good for the skin (It feels like a moisturizer), and it creates a great healthy looking glow. Apply the foundation with a cosmetic sponge, using a new sponge each application. You can get like 30 of them in a pack at a dollar store for a dollar.





For your eyes use a feathery mascara like Loreal Feather Lash. Also, get a pearlescent eyeshadow shade that nearly matches the shade of your skin, just slightly lighter. It's easiest to use an eyeshadow pencil, but you can use a powder shadow and an eyeshadow brush. Put a dab of the pearlescent shadow on the inner corners of the eyes and blend with your finger tip. Then draw a line with the shadow directly against the underneath of the brows that extends from the outer corners of the brows to about 1/3 the way inward. Blend that line with you fingertip also. The purpose of this is too make it look like light is hitting your eyes and to make them look more radiant.





On your lips just use a lip balm, something like Chapstick or Burt's Bees will be fine.





If you want blush too, try Pinch Me gel blush by Revlon. It looks a bit bright in the bottle but is actually sheer on the skin and gives the cheeks that look of being slightly naturally flushed. I use the cherry color.





Those products should give you the look you are going for.Need natural looking makeup help?
well honestly babe...being natural is pure elegance...i don't really know how many agree with me...but u want to go natural...u shld have a nice skin tone and condition...if you have an uneven skintone and you have alot of zits..i advise you not to do so...





for me i do go natural all the times except dates and special outings and occasions...the perfect nude look would be like just a 2 way cake you can try ZA they have 2 kinds to suit super different skin types..its super light weight and you wouldnt even feel its there....you won't need any blottes either as it doesn't turn oily after oxidising..then try mary kate and ashley bronzer by revlon (i think if i don't get it mixes up) then just a slight super hydrating lip balm with gloss...colours should stay remain in the brown range...also aply hilighter on your cheekbones and noseline (top) to define your looks (dUh~) you can try elizabeth arden's hilighter its good too...





for your blemishes..try blemish range by Elizabeth arden its good...my fren from aussie try it and it does works...





for your eyes..you should refrein from wearing eyeliners on ur under eyes and mascara on the undereye too...
Bare Escentuals

some pretty golds and browns natural eyeshadows light mascara and your set


some chapstick too
Lil Patch, my skin care and make up come from aularale.com/7002. It's all done w/the needs of people with sensitive skin in mind. They have cover sticks and an eye cream that works on darkness and puffiness around the eye area called xtra performance eye cream. It is fantastic! And the foundation matches your skin so you can't help but look natural. Of course the getting enough rest/sleep goes w/o saying and also drinking lots of water. A good vitamin/mineral supplement wouldn't hurt either.
If you want to go for the 'natural' look then don't WEAR any make up. Otherwise it's not natural. Well you can wear clear mascara or just a bit of black mascara and some lip gloss and maybe a tiny bit of powder/concealer but that's it. No lip liner or eye liner. Also wash your face every morning and night. Wash away any mascara and moisturize every morning. Always eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of water. Exercise helps too. Spend at least an hour or so outside every day. Don't smoke or drink. No drugs.
maybelline is really good for natural looking makeup. go to a makeup artist in a mall near you, they can really help you for free. Or, just get some concealer to put under your eyes, and get some lightweight foundation. maybe a little powder to prevent shine. and then just some light but pretty shadows for your eyes. watch makeup videos on youtube or something for guides and ideas.





hope you find a good look!
Usually, having neat, well-kept eyebrows and an even complexion (good skin) will open up your entire face and bring out that gorgeous natural beauty. However, that does not mean that you shouldn't wear any makeup at all...it just means to really focus on features that will make you look beautiful - a little more naturally!





Use a moisturizing foundation to start. If you're concerned about using foundation, just get a tinted moisturizer (but a good brand so that your skin isn't tinted orange!). Blend it well and if you want to make it look even more natural, apply a thin layer of pressed powder on top. Use blush in a natural tone - soft pinks, light beige/brown and even a pale peach will work great, and the peach will contrast well with your green eyes. Never apply blush below your cheekbones, but just dust it across the apples of your cheeks and up slightly towards your temples. Use a big brush (the small ones that come with the blush hardly ever work) and use a circular motion to apply it. If you find that blush does not help with your natural look, bronzer looks more natural on some people. Apply it as you would apply blush, and then dust a small amount along your jawbones and forehead for an all-around glow.





As for your eyes, steer towards more natural tones like brown and charcoal grey, as black can be too harsh for a natural look. Using white liner will open up your eyes tremendously!With eyeliner, line only from the center of the inner rim of your eye and out towards the outer corner; it widens your eyes and makes you look as though you are not wearing as much, so it's a subtle look. Sometimes, eyeliner is not even needed! If you would prefer, only use it on your eyelids close to the eyelashes. Use a very steady hand and don't make the line too thick. For mascara, use 2-3 coats for volumous lashes. Start from the roots of your eyelashes and drag the wand to the tip. Wait until the previous coat has dried before applying the next. For eyeshadow, use soft, earthy tones. Not only will they help with your natural look but they are great shades for winter. Soft beiges and light bronze are good shades, but if you want to play it up a bit, you can try a pale lilac. Lilac will really bring out the green in your eyes and make your eyes stand out. If you want your eyes to look further apart, apply a darker shade to the outer half of your eyelid and a lighter shade to the inner half. Be sure to blend it well. If you want them to look closer together, do the exact opposite of that - lighter on the outside, darker on the inside. Putting a dark colour in the crease of your eyelid really makes your eyes pop. A light dusting of a pale, shimmery shadow across your browbone opens up your eyes.





For your lips, apply either just ChapStick or lip balm or add a gloss or lipstick on top. Applying ChapStick or lip balm first as a base to make the gloss or lipstick last longer. Use a nude gloss or lipstick to set off your natural look. If you find that that does not work for you, try a mocha shade. Depending on the colour of your hair, you can use a berry shade (which works well on brunettes) or a pale pink (which works well on blondes). Redheads look good with rosy pinks while people with black hair can use brighter reds (although that would not contrast well with your natural look).





As for the dark eye circles, you can try something like an at-home remedy. Cucumber slices on your eyes for 2-5 minutes really does work - the soothing juices will help reduce puffiness. Don't have any cucumber around? Potato slices work too! Or, try freezing a washcloth or two metal spoons in the freezer overnight and then applying them on your eyes for a few minutes in the morning to reduce the puffiness. Small amounts of Vitamin E oil can work, and getting enough sleep (at least 7 hours) will help with those dark eye circles. In the meantime, get a concealer that matches the shade of your neck (you should always match concealer, foundation, etc. to the shade of your neck as it is your true skin tone). Apply it and blend well. If you still notice the concealer, try applying your foundation and then seeing if it is so noticeable. Wear sunglasses when going outside during the sun's strongest point of the day - from 12 noon to 4 p.m.





Best of luck to you!

Good to hear your going for a more natural look =]





Wear a light foundation to make your skin tone even, and cover up your dark circles. Then wear a shadow close to your skin tone, and some brown mascara.
