Say Goodbye to Heavy Makeup

Say Goodbye to Heavy Makeup The first of the many ways to sport a natural look is to say goodbye to that heavy makeup. Forget darkly lined lids, caked on foundation and mascara laden lashes; in order to pull off a natural look, you are going to want to go light. Sure, you can wear makeup, but the key is to wear it lightly. Put on a light layer of foundation, cover your lids with a natural colored shadow, give your cheeks a sunk-kissed look with a subtle blush and put on a light coat of mascara. You aren't going to look natural if you have a face that is covered in makeup.

Easy, Breezy Hair

Forget that over-coiffed hairstyle. When it comes to sporting a natural style, you are going to want to wear an easy, breezy hairstyle that looks like it took minimal effort to achieve - and actually did take little effort. When you get out of the shower, towel dry your hair and run some mousse through it. Tousle it and let mother nature act as your hair dryer. For some interest, try adding a random small braid or two to your mane. If you want your hair up and out of your face, pull it back in a loose, casual pony or half pony.

UPD:

This low-maintenance look works wonders, whether you're running errands or enjoying a casual day out. For those with a bit more time, try twisting damp strands into a bun and letting them air dry. Once released, you'll have soft waves that exude effortless chic. And don't worry about frizz: a dab of anti-frizz serum can work miracles, giving you that polished yet naturally tousled appearance. Embrace your hair's natural texture and flow - it's the ultimate nod to simplicity and sophistication.

Lose and Comfy Clothing

Lose and Comfy Clothing There is absolutely no need to wear curve-hugging dresses or super-slim pants. If you are trying to achieve that natural look, go with a wardrobe of loose and comfy clothing. Think tunics, long and flowing skirts, casual khakis and caftans in lightweight and easy-to-move-in fabrics. You'll look great and feel great, too!

Comfortable Footwear

Comfortable Footwear Super high heels? Toe pinching wedges? Not when you are going for the natural look! Get that earthly-chic mama look by sporting super comfy flat sandals, ballet flats and Ugg (or imitation Ugg) boots. Not only will these looks help you achieve a natural style, but your little piggies will also thank you.

Mani and Pedi

When you go for a mani and pedi, skip the hot pinks, deep reds and vibrant purples. Instead, opt for a more natural shade, like super light pink or even a creamy color. Long nails are also a no-no for a natural look; this style is all about simplicity, which means well manicured, short nails.

Silence at the proper season is wisdom, and better than any speech.

Natural Jewelry

Natural Jewelry Dress yourself up with some natural stone baubles. Earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings that are made of natural stones like jade, turquoise, onyx and amber are simply gorgeous and only add to that beautiful, natural vibe.

UPD:

Incorporating earthy materials doesn't stop at stones. Consider embracing organic shapes and raw finishes in your accessories. Pearls, for example, offer a soft, understated elegance that complements the natural stone aesthetic. For a bolder statement, opt for accessories with wooden or bamboo elements. These pieces can elevate your ensemble with a touch of rustic charm, while also being incredibly lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear. And the beauty of it all? Each piece is unique, like a fingerprint of Mother Nature, ensuring your look is as individual as you are.

Attitude

There is more to a natural style than clothes, hair, makeup and accessories; being natural is also a state-of-mind. Let go of your stress and tensions; stop thinking about material goods; don't get caught up in competing with others. Be confident in yourself and have a laid back attitude and your natural look will match your personality.

Sporting a more natural look is easy when you know what to do. Low-maintenance is lovely, and ideal for days when you don't have the time or inclination for something more dramatic. What are your essentials for natural style?

Thank you for writing this! I love the natural look!

@Cara sorry. That's why make up companies sell so many colors so you can bring out those features and create yourself. I love my red lipstick and will never part with it

Worth reading!!

@Jocelyn agree 100 percent sick of that dull look have fun and bring out your features that make you shine. That's wg

No makeup makeup should die. I can understand wanting natural looking foundation but only wearing nude eyes or lips is for makeup prudes. You'll pry my rainbow eyeshadow palettes from my dead hands. People should actually put creativity in their looks instead of being dull.

During the day you don't always have to be a flashy bearer of a caked up face, you can tone it down and stay neutral maybe with just a pop of colour here or there (I'm talking about face make up only) and in the might go all out, but to each her own

I'm a MUA and although I love my bright shadows and lipsticks it's nice sometimes

To have a more natural look. It's not "dull" but it can still bring out your natural features. Fun and bright isn't for everyday.
