It’s time to breakup with your old makeup application. No really it is the begining of a new era.Â

Covering and concealing is one thing but caking on powder or foundation is so dated. Today the look is soft and natural. La Bella Donna Minerals offers all natural powders and foundations. Giving your skin a breath of fresh air.

Let me talk about lining your lips for just a minute. Drawing on big lips with your liner is for your theater production only! And stay away from the liner if you like to line with dark shades and use a lighter gloss or lipstick. That does not look soft and natural let alone beautiful. If you love liner and want to use it go with a nude or natural shade and feather it into your lips. Then fill in with your favorite lip shade or gloss. Never use liner to “outline” your lips.Â

I know, i know you all want to have the blushing bride cheeks. In order to acheive this look choose bright vibrant blush colors. For the perfect application give yourself a smile in the mirror. Using a big blush brush dip into your color and tap some off (if your comfortable w/ cream blush work with it.) Then apply to the apples of your cheeks blending out toward your temples. This technique will give you the flushed look. For even more of a luminous look give your cheeks a spirtz of your favorite toner before heading out the door.

Unless your going to spend a night out on the town leave the heavy liner in your cosmetic bag. Cat eyes are saved for a more glamorous look. The way to achieve a more naturally lined eye is by smudging your favorite liner into your lash line and finish by curling the lashes and applying a non-clumpy mascara. Mascara usually only lasts about 3 months.
