There are certain events and occasions which demand you to look simple and casual. Bold colors, wild makeup and garish looks can spoil your beauty and persona, fetching you handful of execrations. That was quite demeaning isn't it? To avoid such embarrassments, you must wear casual makeup that will let you look not only beautiful but also elegant. Casual makeup is the right getup for job interviews, business meetings, official outings and even on a date.
Casual Makeup Tips
- Pick neutral colors for yourself. Light and natural shades of lipstick, eyeliner, eyeshadow and mascara should be your choice. For base makeup, pick the exact shade matching your skin tone. Nude makeup is the other name for casual makeup.
- Colors for lipsticks should be light pink, lavender, light purple, nude brown or pale shades of orange, either matte or glossy. The same shades must be selected for lip liners. The colors for lip gels or lip gloss can be shimmering gold, pink and mild brown.
- For eyes, get a eyeliner and mascara of ash black, dark black, deep brown, java or hickory.
- When you select the concealer, opt for a shade exactly like your skin tone. Foundation and compact must complement your skin undertone. If you want a sun-kissed look, your bronzer should be just a shade darker than your complexion.
- Do not pick bold and showy colors, like red, magenta, crimson, chocolate brown. Dark shades spoil your look if the occasion is not meant for gorgeousness.
- The most important part of your face are your eyes. For casual eye makeup, never go for bright eye colors. Neutral colors like sky, light pink, smoky gray, and light brown are just the ideal. Black or dark brown eyeliners complement well on casual makeup.
- Apply the makeup of one coat and do not heavily layer your face with a thick base of foundation. It makes your face look artificial, fading the natural beauty.
- Do not go for lighter or darker shades of foundation and concealer. Just pick up the exact color matching your complexion.
STEP 1
The first step defines the act of cleaning your face. Wash your face with gentle face wash or moisturizing cleansing lotion. If you have blackheads, use a mild exfoliant to scrub your face. Wipe your face with non-alcoholic toner or rose water, to wipe away dirt and grime from the pores. Pat dry your face with the help of a towel and then proceed with the light makeup.
STEP 2
Moisturize your face with a mild lotion, if your skin feels very dry. Dab some concealer over your fingertips and blend it over your face. This will cover blemishes, pimples and scars. The concealer must complement your complexion for perfect casual makeup looks.
STEP 3
Apply the foundation with a large brush or cotton pads all over your face and neck, in circular motion. Make sure the light colored foundation blends perfectly with your skin and doesn't give it a heavy and dull look. Now blush on with pale shades of pink or brown. If you want a natural tanned look, apply a very light shade of bronzer.
STEP 4
The most important aspect of a makeup is highlighting your eyes with natural colors. Outline your eyes, extending till the rim, with a good quality eyeliner. The mascara must be of same shade as the liner. With the help of a smooth brush, apply the eyeshadow smoothly. Do not dab heavily or spread all over your eyes and brows, unevenly.
STEP 5
The last step is adding color to your lips. You lips must look natural. Outline them with lip liner of neutral shades and then apply the base color. Opt for matte shades of neutral color or render natural juicy look with neutral gloss.
Careless beauty, natural prettiness, suave attire and a charming persona can capture everyone's attention. Just be CASUAL!
