How to Apply Country Girl Makeup


You want your makeup to be natural. Let it enhance your appearance, but don't use so much that people can easily tell what you're wearing. Natural makeup is usually the best option no matter where you're going or what you're doing.
  1. Apply foundation. The most important part of applying natural looking makeup is foundation that already matches your skin tone. Some people tell you to apply foundation first. It is better to put it on after you apply your eye makeup so that if you have to redo your eye makeup, you won't have to redo your foundation, too. The best foundation for a natural look is either a mineral powder or tinted moisturizer. Apply the foundation only in places your skin needs to be evened out. Use your fingers for the best blending job. Set with powder.
  2. Eye shadow is not necessary. If you want to wear it anyway, use a bronzing powder or a natural looking shade of brown. Apply your chosen shade of eye shadow and then blend away harsh lines with a blush or powder brush.
  3. Curl your eyelashes and apply mascara. Curl your eyelashes before you apply mascara or your lashes may stick to the eyelash curler and be ripped out. Limit yourself to just one coat of mascara.
  4. Use bronzer instead of blush. Smile and apply to the apples of your cheeks.Go ahead and dust a little bronzer on your temples, as well.
  5. And for your lips... Finish with either clear or brownish-pink lip gloss, or a tinted chapstick.
