Summer calls for uncomplicated makeup. A naturally pretty look that won’t scratch when you sweat. Something that requires little maintenance and looks great on the beach.

The problem is, that carefree nude makeup look is much harder to pull off than a painted face. How do you wear makeup and look like you were born that way?

Start taking care of your skin now. Your body is made up of what you eat and drink. Eat junk food and drink lots of fresh sparkling water and caffeine, and that’s what your body has to work with. Your skin reflects the state of your health. If your body is full of junk, your skin is likely blemished, congested, or at least far from being in its best shape. You could get away with it while you’re young, but sooner or later, your excesses will catch up with you.

Skip the line. Instead, drink plenty of plain water, spring water, or mineral water. Get yourself a two-liter bottle of mineral water or fill a two-liter bottle with drinking water and be sure to finish that at the end of the day. If you can’t tolerate plain water, squeeze a lemon and add that lemon juice to the water for flavor. This would give your body a chance to clean out the trash.

Then cut down on junk food, oily fries with an oily burger will load your body with more fat. If you have blemishes on your skin, it may help to reduce fat and sugar. By the way, bacteria love sugar and you can thank them for those infected spots on your face. Stop feeding bacteria, keep your hands and hair away from your face, and let your skin heal. Great summer makeup is best achieved with good skin, so the earlier you start, the better for you.

Now for the actual makeup. If you take care of your skin, putting on that natural beach makeup would be very simple.

Step 1: perfect with concealer

Depending on the condition of your skin, you may or may not need concealer. If your skin is great, just use a tinted moisturizer [http://www.cosmetics-online.org/healthdetails.php?brand=tinted&genericword=moisturizer] to add color to your face. Choose a shade as close as possible to your natural coloring.

If you have pimples, use a brush and apply some concealer on it. If you have dark rings, hide them with a concealer as well. Use as little as possible to maintain your natural appearance.

Step 2: paint with lipstick

Make your lips completely kissable. Soft pink lips that glow in the sun are perfect for summer … and all year long.

You will need a touch of lipstick to add color to your naked face. Choose a pretty color like coral, pink, or a soft pink. The trick is to look in the mirror and see the color inside your lip. Choose your lipstick in a similar color to that for the most natural and pretty look.

Take a lip brush and paint the lipstick. Start by drawing the outline of your lips with the lip brush, then fill in and then complete. Blot the lipstick with a tissue and then apply it again. This would help the color stay longer. Apply a lip gloss so that it shines on all lips, or at least the center of your lower lip so that your lips appear fuller.

Step 3 – Highlight with mascara

Bring the focus to your eyes. Your eyes are your best asset. Especially when framed by lush lashes. Since it’s summer, opt for a waterproof mascara. Make sure to get a good eye makeup remover to remove every night before bed.

Prepare a clean mascara wand to separate your lashes. You can wash and dry an old mascara wand or you can buy an eyelash comb.

Apply mascara to the upper lashes. Next, dab some mascara on your lower lashes with the tip of your mascara wand. Separate the lashes with a clean mascara brush or wand and allow it to dry. Once the mascara is completely dry, you can apply a second coat if you want more dramatic lashes. Also separate the lashes after this second coat.
