Jennifer Garner at the People's Choice Awards
Sometimes the most beautiful option is to come out from under cover, like Jennifer Garner, and let your natural assets take center stage. The trick is to lightly cover any flaws and add just enough color.

FACE |
|
|
| Foundation /
Concealer
|
After moisturizing, apply concealer to the inner corners of the eyes and underneath to cover dark circles. Apply a small amount of concealer to the eyelid for a base foundation before applying shadow.
Use a foundation shade as close to your natural skin tone as possible and apply only to the red or uneven areas of your face. Blend well.
|
| Blush |
Use a peach or rose shade blush in cream or gel formula (one that blends as smoothly with your natural skintone as possible). You should apply your blush in the style that best suits your face. Round faces look better with blush applied to the apple of the cheek, while narrower faces can take blush on the cheekbone. Apply blush one light layer at a time until you have a warm glow.
|
| EYES |
|
|
| Eyelid |
Apply a pearly medium beige from the lid to the crease.
|
| Crease |
Apply a medium tan or brown in the crease from corner to corner.
|
| Hilite |
Apply a light peach color just below the brow, from underneath the arch to the outer corner.
|
| Eyeliner |
Choose a dark chocolate brown eyeliner. You can either use a sharp pencil, or use a wet brush dipped in a powder shadow.
Apply a thin line to the top lash line, from corner to corner. Use a light touch and get the color in between the lashes. You can try dotting your way across the lashline and then going back and filling in to create one continuous line. Repeat until your lashline is nicely filled in, without allowing the line to get heavy. Now trace around the inner corner for a really professional look.
Continue with a light hand to apply liner across the bottom lashline getting in between lashes like with the top lashline. Use a small sponge or a folded tissue to blur and fade the line slightly.
|
Brows |
Use a brow wax, with a small brush to shape and fill in, or pencil. Start by defining the arch and then fill in the rest as necessary.
|
Lashes |
Curl lashes and coat two or three times with a black, lengthening mascara.
|
LIPS |
|
|
|
To get glass-smooth lips, try brushing them very gently with an old, soft toothbrush. Then apply petroleum jelly and allow it to soak in for 30 or more minutes.
Choose a matching lipliner and lipstick in a peach or rose shade that matches your blush as closely as possible. Line the upper and lower lips. Then fill with the lipstick. Cover your lips with a coat or two of clear gloss.
