Crazy with cosmetics! xoxo

Hey guys! Hal here. 

You've probably seen a lot of girls wearing makeup at your school, right?

Lets admit though, some of them look completely RIDICULOUS, but theres a few who can pull it off with just the right amount of cosmetics. Hopefully this article will help you become part of that "few"!
A lot of guys prefer a girl who goes natural, and natural is the BEST type of look on a girl! But they also like a soft look as well, which means soft and simple colors. It honestly just depends on the guy! 

One example of a celebrity who likes to wear a natural look would be Ariana Grande. ---------->

I can't tell you exactly what products Ariana used in this, but I can help you out as to getting the exact same look.

To start off with, you would need a black mascara, brown eyeliner, (or black if you want your eyes to stand out more), cream,dark brown, and a light, light brown eyeshadow, as well as a light pink/bubblegum pink lipstick.

Preferably use brands like Maybeline, Lo'real, Babylips, or cheaper but beneficial brands, like NYC or Wetnwild.
Ariana's lip color really reminded me of Babylip's Pink Punch, so that's why I recommended it. I've heard alot of great reviews on Babylips. Its affordable, ( 2-3 dollars for just one) and can be found at places like Walmart or Target.


You can begin with the Black or brown eyeliner, but I would suggest brown since it gives off a more natural vibe.
Apply it ONLY to your upper lash line. If you apply it to the top and bottom, it is going to look way too thick. You're only in middle school!
After applying that, start with the light,light brown.

((Dark,and Light Light Brown))

Apply it to the whole lid, and then swipe it across the brow bone. Not too much though! Then, take the cream/white color. Start at the INNER CORNER of the eye as highlighted in the pic below, slowly bringing it up and across the brow bone. Once your finished, Take the darkest color out of all 3,
which should be the dark brown, and focus ONLY one the 

outer sides of the eyelid and browbone. I hope that makes sense haha!
**Tip: Applying primer on your eyelid/brow bone can help make the eyeshadow show up more.**
Once that's complete, add some mascara! Mascara can make a HUGE difference to your eyes, as well as eyeliner, so be careful not to overdo it. 
You should always curl your eyelashes first before applying mascara, but its optional.
One easy way to apply mascara is to put the wand underneath your eyelashes while having your eyes closed, and to blink as you apply it. Its also a way to not poke yourself in the eye!
**Tip: When you wear mascara ALL the time, your eyelashes can become dry and brittle. Applying Petroleum Jelly/ Vaseline on your eyelashes can help keep them moisturized and may even help them grow. I've been doing this and I've actually noticed a difference!


So your done with the eyes. Now its time to apply the lipstick. That shouldn't be too hard to do. Just be sure you have it on both lips, hehe!

**Tip: Putting petroleum jelly or Vaseline on your lips after applying lipstick or lip stain can help keep them soft,smooth, and hydrated.


You're finally done with the natural look! It wasn't as natural as it could be, but at least you won't look like a cakeface, right?! 
Its your choice to add any foundation or blush. A light blush would make it look even more natural, but that's just my opinion. I'm not sure if I am going to be making any more beauty posts.. I'm not that good at them to be honest!
So let me know what you think.
XOXO
