+ Our first “Makeup Tips & Ideas” article comes from [Jenny Bowker]. Enjoy!
+ Look One
Natural and Glowing- Perfect for school, hanging out with friends or having your picture taken! This look is all about you, perfecting your features and bringing out that natural glow!
Before/After!
1. Apply a light foundation all over the skin, i like mineral foundations, because the coverage is build-able, photographs well and looks natural.

2. Apply an eyeshadow base all over the lid, and set with translucent powder. This will keep your eyeshadow crease free all day, and intensify the colors that you apply.

3. Apply a shimmery, mid tone eyeshadow along top and bottom lashes, cocoa browns, soft bronzes or soft plums bring out all eye colors beautifully.

4. Highlight the inner corners of the eyes, under the brow and the tops of the cheekbone with a glowing peach powder for a fresh luminous look, and lightly fill in brows with a taupe eyeshadow for a perfect shape.

5. Load up on black mascara on top and bottom lashes, nothing makes eyes stand out better than full, dark lashes!

6. Finish off your look with a bright peachy pink blush on the highest points of the cheek, a touch of concealer under the eyes and on any blemishes and a coat of your favorite gloss- i love a pearly peach to make teeth look white and lips full!

Flirty POP! – Give your look a quick POP with a few well placed shades of pink, perfect for shopping or the movies with friends.
1. Apply your foundation, concealer and mascara as usual and then dust on a hot pink shade of blush on the apples of the cheeks- don’t be afraid of the bright color in the pan, applied lightly it will give you a super natural flush.
