Natural Look For Women
A quick tip: when buying foundation, test the match of the product with your skin tone by applying it against your jaw line and letting it on your face for a few minutes. Go ahead and see how it looks like in daylight, rather than in artificial light to see how well it goes with your skin. The perfect foundation for you blends well with the color of your skin, so much that it is hardly noticeable.
If your skin has beige tones: If your skin has beige tones with a touch of peach or pink, the colors you should go for are shades of peach, pink and apricot for your lips and cheeks. Cover up whatever blemishes you have on your skin with a concealer before applying the foundation, and then dust the foundation off with matching loose powder. Make sure that your foundation has SPF because skin like yours burns easily under the sun. Also, try not to put on too much makeup on your face because too much will look harsh on your skin and make you look older. Finish off with a shimmering peach or pink lip gloss.
If your skin has olive tones: If your skin has olive tones, the best way to go is with foundation with warm colors like golden brown. Skin with olive tones is also generally oilier than most, so try to stay away from foundation with shimmer in it to reduce the shine. For a sun-kissed look, apply a touch of bronzer on the apples of your cheeks, the bridge of your nose and a little on your forehead. For your lips, outline it with a nude-colored lip pencil, and then apply clear gloss.
If your skin has yellow tones: If your skin has yellow tones, stay away from ivory or pink for your foundation and stick to warmer hues with a yellow base. Also, avoid using powder foundations; yellow-toned skin tends to get dry and flaky, and so powder foundations will only emphasize this unnecessarily. Finish with a light cream blush, colored pink, on the apples of your cheeks, and a light pink gloss for your lips.
To get a smoother finish on your foundation, apply moisturizer on your skin first as a base. Remember to put on only the right amount of moisturizer and dab off any excess with tissue. Too little moisturizer will make it hard for the foundation to blend, and too much will make your makeup run off your skin.
How to apply quick makeup
Apply the moisturizer followed by foundation with a sponge or fingertips. Make sure to blend it properly. Then use the blusher, set it with the powder and then comes the eye makeup, apply the eyeliner and mascara.
Give the finishing look to your make up with the lipstick of a natural shade. If you are in a hurry then you can finish the make up in the car also for example lipstick can be applied in the car.
The last thing is to have a quick look to check the makeup. Check whether the foundation is evenly spread on the face, your makeup is natural enough and don’t forget to check your teeth for lipstick.

Do any wise woman members here sell pure natural organic sandalwood oil that's affordable? I say organic because it's very important to me that it be 100% completely natural, nothing added, nothing stripped away, and not treated with any kind of nasty toxic petro-chemicals. If possible, I'd like to buy an ounce bottle for less than $25.00. Sandalwood is my favorite aroma oil and I'd really love to have some. It's very soothing, grounding, healing, and comforting and I really love it. Please contact me if you can help. Thank you. I greatly appreciate it.
Much Warm Love, Warm Hugs, and Warm Wishes, xox
