It is always a good idea to  use primer before applying foundation. Primer can help your makeup last longer and it can decrease the look of lines and wrinkles. You can use L’Oreal Paris Age Perfect Face Blurring Primer. Or you can try e.l.f. Poreless Face Primer. You can never go wrong with e.l.f.

7. Luminous Foundation

A dewy, luminous foundation will give you a fresh, youthful appearance. Find a foundation that won’t have you looking too dry or oily. You can try Maybelline Dream Radiant Liquid Foundation. This foundation is great because it contains hyaluronic acid and collagen. You can also use e.l.f. Flawless Finish Foundation. Seriously, where would we be without e.l.f.

6. Nude, Brown, Gold, Pink, Rose Shades

We don’t want our makeup to hide or distract from our natural beauty. When looking for blushes and eyeshadows, we want to reach for neutral colors and soft pinks. You can’t go wrong with shades of brown, gold, and rose. Try Physicians Formula All-Star Face Palette. It’s cruelty-free and vegan which is very mindful. For your eyes, you can use URBAN DECAY Naked Mini Eyeshadow Palette.

5. Mascara, Not Falsies

False eyelashes can make your eyes look bigger and give you a dramatic look. But we are going for natural, not dramatic. Some nice, subtle mascara will enhance your eyes without overpowering them. Try the Honest Beauty 2-in-1 Extreme Length Clean Mascara.

4. Brown Eyeliner

3. Hydrating Lip Balm
