foundation
Always check that your foundation colour is right for you by testing the colour on your jaw line. The correct colour will disappear into your skin. If it is visibly lighter or darker than your own skin you will not achieve a natural look to your complexion. Foundation will cover many discolouration sand blemishes on your skin so concealer and corrector should be applied after the foundation or you can risk appearing caked in unnecessary makeup.

powder
A translucent powder lightly dusted over your foundation will set your make up and reduce shine. Do not over-powder around areas where you may have fine lines as the powder may catch here accentuating the lines...not the desired effect!

lips
Natalie has naturally full lips but don't despair, just cheat. Line your lips with a soft pencil liner that matches your lipstick. Then fill in your lips with a creamy lipstick. Blot the colour on a tissue and re apply a second coat.
