When using a liquid bronzer, it is best to apply it with fingers. Rub fingers to even out the color and then apply to the apples of your cheeks and blend with circular motions. Work towards the hairline. The remaining color should be added to the nose, forehead and brow bones to balance the tone of your face.

For makeup to preserving the natural look, the colors you use must match the shades of your skin tone. If you use concealer, should be yellow in tone, as this will give adequate coverage but not add excessive color, thus keeping the look natural. Your foundation or tinted moisturizer should not be obvious when applied to your skin either.

When selecting a lip liner, choose for one that is the same sort of shade as the lipstick, at least one that is not a lighter shade, as this then would look strange. Ensure the lips are nice and moist first, and then ensure the pencil is sharp to get a good line. Draw along the lips, starting at the middle and work out to the edges, both sides from the middle each time, this helps get the best shape and smoothest line. Be sure to apply the lip liner before lipstick!
