Make-up and Natural Beauty

One of the questions that often comes up when discussing beauty is make-up and other esthetic rituals. Most people with natural beauty really don’t need to worry about these things. Running a comb through the hair and putting on fresh clothes should be sufficient. But if you decide to wear make-up to enhance natural beauty, here are some tips that should make the job easier.

The first thing to do is to make sure that the make-up is good for the skin. There are loads of products, and they sometimes have side affects. Some products make the skin too oily, and others dry it out. Some require the use of harsh cleansers to get them off, and some run off with a little rain which often causes a big mess. The other thing to consider is the ease of the regiment. Different cosmetics lines have certain procedures that are recommended for the best look. Some of these require a lot of hassle and some don’t. Most people with natural beauty prefer those that aren’t so time consuming. Another factor is cost. Cost is important because the price of the product may significantly produce or reduce stress when purchasing make-up. Finally, the last thing to be certain of is the color pallet. It’s important to choose colors that go well with your complexion, hair color, and eye color as well as the color of most of the clothing you possess. Choosing a few eye powders isn’t a bad idea so that you’ll have something for a variety of fashions. The next issue then becomes how to apply the make-up.

Most people with natural beauty prefer a more natural look. This is preferable because layers of make-up offer a painted or plastic look. Other looks appear gothic. If that’s the look you want, there are ways to accomplish it. However, if not, choose colors that blend well and choose the brushes and applicators that will allow for light application of the product. Don’t be afraid to blow a little extra make-up from the brush if it’s too much. Be sure that all foundations and colors are blended into the skin so as to not look like a clown. As fashion preferences change, it’s never a bad idea to ask a cosmetician about the latest styles for application. Practice these styles a few times before actually using them for public events. Don’t forget to cleanse the face after the end of the day as make-up gets everywhere when asleep and looks much worse in the morning.

There are other aesthetic rituals worth discussion. The question of shaving becomes paramount, especially for women. No matter your sex, this is a personal choice. The only thing to be aware of is that some people are snobbish enough to glare at women who haven’t shaved arm pits or leg hair. Again, just remember that it’s a personal choice.

The idea behind aesthetic rituals is to enhance the natural beauty that’s already there. The trick is to be aware of colors, fashions, possible snags, and time constraints as you make the decision on what aesthetics become a part of your daily routine.
