    In order

    1. Foundation put little drops of it on your cheeks, forhead, eyelids, nose, chin, upper lip area, and the sides of your face with your fingers, rub them in evenly. Make sure you dont put too much on. It'll look weird

    2. Apply pressed powder all around your face. Dab in gently esp on your eyelids, forhead, and nose area.

    3. put eyeshadow on

    4. eyelashcurler

    5. mascara

    6. eyeliner

    7. with blush or bronzer, make highlights around your face. sides of your nose, around the outliine of your face, up and down your nose, and your cheek bones of course. Just make sure that you dont like paint your face in pink. If youre doing it with a blush, do it with very sheer pink color and apply very small amount on the brush.

    I can understand your confusion as to what and how to wear makeup. I mean, with so many products and brands out there, it can be quite overwhelming!

    So to make things easier for you, I have narrowed the "Perfect Natural Look" down to 4 Essential Products. Not only will you get the most bang for you buck, but it will also help you acheive that fresh, pretty, and polished look, in less than 5 minutes!

    Step 1. Tinted Moisturizer- Not only will this stuff hydrate your skin, providing the perfect base for makeup, but it will also help to lightly even it out. Unlike foundation, tinted moisturizer is very sheer and only covers what needs to be covered- it will not add layers upon layers of heavy product onto the skin. Just apply it evenly over your skin with a makeup sponge or with your fingers. A great oil-free tinted moisturizer to try is Cliniques Moisture Sheer Tint SPF 15 ($24). This stuff does not clog pores, and is suitable for all skintypes. As well, it also has SPF 15 to protect skin from the sun. It's pretty much 3 products - moisturizer, light foundation, and sunblock - in one compact tube!

    Step 2. Concealer - For the extra heavy duty coverage, concealer is your bestfriend. Lightly dab on a bit of concealer on any areas that the tinted moisturizer did not cover up too well, such as your pimples and undereye circles (if you have any that is). A good one to try is Physicians Formula 4-1 Concealer Palette $8: It has a selection of colors you can blend with to acheive the right coverage, plus a green cream concealer that you can dab on to any pimples to treat redness. Just get your ring ringer and pat a little bit of the concealer on any problem areas.

    Step 3. Highlighter - For that extra wash of color on your face, you can never go wrong with a pigmented highlighter. Try Wet n Wild Illuminating Cream $4. As a 3 in 1 product (a pretty pink blush - a shimmery eyeshadow - and a soft glossy lipbalm), this product is a real bargain. Just lightly dab this product on your cheeks, eyelid, and lips, for that pretty and brigthened look. By applying this, you enhance and "highlight" your features, but in a soft and subdued way.

    Step 4. Mascara - This stuff should be every girls bestfriend. Depending on what you are looking for , there are multitudes of mascara brands and products you can choose from - volumizing, lengthening, curling, seperating, priming, coloring, tinting , etc. However, to acheive the most natural look try Covergirls LashExact Mascara $6 for the best lengthening and non-clumpy look. A few coats of this stuff should help you acheive that pretty- but polished look.

    And there you have it! The Perfect 5 Minute Face. Depending on what products you end up getting, this is a very quick, and easy routine.

    By the way, if you want to apply more makeup, this look is a great base to have!
