Where can I buy make up for a natural look and how to do it?

Next year is the first year my school is allowing make up and I want to do a natural look so it isn't too much. Where can I buy make up for a natural look and can anyone maybe post a link to a video showing how? If not, thanks anyway.Where can I buy make up for a natural look and how to do it?
For an extremely natural and light coverage look, you should try


I suggest:





Almay's Smartshade makeup. This stuff goes on white, but it changes into a shade that complements your skin tone. I believe Revlon also has something similar to this called Beyond Natural or something like that.





If you're going for a medium-darker coverage, I suggest Bare Naturale by L'Oreal. You can buy all of these at your local drugstore. Wal-Mart offers the cheapest prices as well as Meijer.





The simplest way to make your makeup look natural is to get a shade that matches your skin tone or one that's slightly lighter, don't go darker. Only apply to areas where it's needed and blend with your fingers. If you blended it enough, it should look completely natural.





For eyes, I suggest black eyeliner [if you want a softer look go for soft black or a brown shade] and thinly line your eyes. If you want a more natural look, you can just skip the eyeliner. For mascara I suggest L'Oreal's Naturale brand [I think that's what it's called, it comes in a gold tube]. It won't give you as much volume as LashBlast, but it complements the natural look with few clumps and just the right amount of volume to keep your look natural.





Just type in Natural makeup on Youtube's search engine and you should be able to find something. I suggest your check out Michelle Phan's channel; she has excellent tutorials for even the natural look and she also has a video reviews of drugstore foundation in which she tells you which brands look the most natural and so on.Where can I buy make up for a natural look and how to do it?
Napoleon Perdis Minimal makeup is excellent- light coverage and good for all skin types, SPF 15, you really can't go wrong.





I don't know what country you're in, but Napoleon is an Australian made brand, and in Australia we only buy it at Myer (a big department-type store) or Napoleon shops. You can, however, buy online at www.napoleonperdis.com, just follow links until you get to products%26gt;face%26gt;foundation%26gt;minimal makeup.





It's $40 US an $55 AU, for a 30ml bottle. Also, try Auto Pilot Primer (products%26gt;face%26gt;auto pilot%26gt;primer), which is $39 US and $45 AU. While you're at it, grab a concealer (products%26gt;face%26gt;concealer) of your choice- the classic concealer is good, at $18 US.





Liquid products look much more natural than powder products like bare minerals- any mineral makeup tends to look cakey, i feel.





hope this helped!





Oh yeah there is also Bare Minerals and it is a GREAT product. You can buy it at Sephora for about 50, but QVC is cheaper and you get the same product. If you buy from QVC, just go to the website to order.
