Natural Makeup?

I've always been one to go bold with my makeup (heavy-eyes, bright lips, ect) but I really want to go with more natural makup becuase of my job. So, how can I look natural without looking boring and bland?

Hmm.. neutral tones of eyeshadow, not too high up on the lid. Could still get away with using a darker colour on the crease I think. A nice blusher.. No hugeeeeee lashes mascara.. Ermm I can't think of anything else! Sorry if I'm not much of a help. Oh and obviously more natural tones of lip colour.

As long as you pick nice colours of eyeshadow, with a slight shimmer, it wont look bland and boring, I think.

thanks! I tried out the natural look tonite and it turned out pretty well. I just have to clear up my acne and it would look great!

for neutrals that arnt boring i like to do a brown look on my lids and then add a pop of color under eyes. like this:

Colours like gold and bronze are neutral without being boring if they have a bit of shimmer in them. If I'm seeing right, you look like you have dark hair and eyes, so you could probably get away with olivey greens and plums without it looking too bright.

I never even thought of colors other then tan and beige! I will have to try the plum and olive under my eyes! That blue-ish color in the photo is beautiful!

I like to neutral on top, and a pop of color on the bottom too. I also like using gold or bronze colors in the crease.

I do this too! Though mine never looks half as nice >.< So pretty, Leesha.

luckily for me...Im applying at hot topic...no dress code.

the natural look is easy. and if you dont want to use bronzes or things...why not try green and pink? technically, they ARE natural colours.

I should totally do that! Bright green and Hot Pink! I guess if I use them just on my top lid before the crease it shouldn't look to outrageous! You girls are so helpful

exactly my point, dear. you could pick up some of prestige's forest green shadows...and bonnebell's pinks. that should help some.
