Many celebrity Bollywood actresses are seen at various award functions or other events looking more 'naturally' beautiful than ever before. Actresses including, Anushka Sharma prefer to go out to social events without over doing their makeup, and what we find is there minimalistic makeup looks work to radiate their natural beauty!
Across leading retail and drug-stores we are surrounded by foundation creams, lip-colours and highlighters, and us girls can't help ourselves from purchasing these products, because inevitably we want to look good. But looking good doesn't have to mean buying an endless last of products, and sometimes applying less makeup can be just as effective and so beautiful. Don't rely on artificial eyelashes or bright coloured lipsticks to make an impression, because the natural you is a winner all the way!
So ladies, if your looking to get the all natural Anushka Sharma look, then take into consideration these five following tips! The key is to never over do it, and make sure you always keep things simple. There is nothing worse than looking artificial, that you almost look as if you are wearing a mask!
- Starting off with your foundation, don't use a heavy-cream based solution on a daily basis. This just ends up clogging pores, and results in the skin being left dull overtime. Undoubtedly apply a foundation type which is suitable for your skin-type, but ensure to keep it simple! For example, BareMinerals powder base foundation is excellent for creating that overall natural look, and gives the illusion that you have nothing applied to your face at all! Using the BareMinerals flawless face brush, apply to skin for a seamless natural look. Another tip...make sure you choose a foundation base which matches your skin tone well. Don't ever choose a foundation which does not match, because you will end up looking orange as an orang-utan or plain as a porcelain doll!
- Keeping your eyes natural doesn't mean you have to let go of the eyeliner either. Rather than using a liquid based solution go for a kohl eyeliner pencil, which adds a subtle and elusive look to your eyes rather than an extravagant one! Try Rimmel soft kohl Kajol eyeliner, where applying a minimal amount will merely add a soft definition to the eyes. Smudging the eyeliner on the outskirts of the eyes will give a great finish to the overall look that doesn't look intentionally created, so long as you don't over-do it that it starts looking over-dramatised!
- Add a little mascara to the eyes, which doesn't give a false lash effect! Using the Natural Collections very affordable lash care mascara merely curls the eyelashes to their natural length, and is a great finishing tool for the eyes. One important suggestion: don't keep piling your eyelashes with more and more mascara, one application is more than enough for creating a natural look and never gets clumped up!
- There is no harm in adding a little colour to the cheeks to give an overall naturally glowing appearance. But what colour you choose to wear on your cheeks shouldn't be over-powering, and neither should you blush like a tomato! With a lighter skin tone you should go for a light-colour based blush, which isn't overtly red and has a baby pink undertone. I recommend using No 7 Cheek Tint in Maple silk which is non greasy and so light that it gives an overall natural glow to the face. For darker skin tones, try using a blush which matches closely with your skin colour- warmer colours with a bronzing undertone will be perfect! I suggest trying the No 7 Natural blush cheek colour, in coral flush, which gives an even finish to the cheeks.
- Now for those all important lips. I say stay away from colour and go for a nude lip balm, which will also work to protect the lips. Or go for a nude colour lip gloss, to bring out the natural colour of your lips! Don't apply bright or harsh colours to your lips as this can sometimes look over-done and create a harsher-looking appearance! Embrace your natural beauty and flaunt your sexy pout without colour. Remember less is more beautiful!
That's all the facial ingredients you will ever need for the natural look! So little, yet so effective...so with 24 days left till Christmas, go make these valuable purchases...in time for the new year, and remember to stick to this New Year resolution...keep it simple...because its more beautiful!!
