Step-by-Step Defined & Natural Makeup

By Carrie Berschman @CarrieBerschman
Due to many requests (exciting!!!), today I am bringing you a closer look at how I accomplish a defined, yet natural makeup look. No, I am not naked... I wear a towel wrap after I shower, while I get ready :/ I took the pictures in natural light. 
See all the steps here:

1. Start with a clean and moisturized face. (Yes, my hair is in a silly turban.)

2. Apply your favorite foundation to create a clean canvas.I chose a medium coverage and natural finish.

3. Apply a highlighting concealer to areas you want to bring forward.Apply a cream contour to areas you want to recede. 

4. Blend everything out with a damp beauty sponge.Set under eye area and t-zone with a fine powder.

5. Fill in brows for definition and add blush for a healthy glow.

6. Apply eyeshadow of choice and mascara.

Here's a close up of the finished look-- very clean, simple, and natural!

Ready to go!! :)
