I see a lot of celebrities on TV and they always look great. How do I achieve a natural-looking make-up look that I can use every day without looking made-up? Hope you can share some pointers and tips.

TV makeup
is very different from everyday makeup. Celebrities face a lot of intense lighting, which could drown their features. Even when models have fashion shows, makeup tends to be heavier and more dramatic not only because there’s a certain “look” that will complement the clothes, but also because stage lighting can make the models’ faces look washed out.
When it comes to achieving a natural make-up look you can use for every day, keep in mind that you’ll be dealing with a lot of people up close. Makeup for TV and the runway will be too much. Makeup isn’t supposed to draw on a new face. Your makeup should enhance your features but still make you look like yourself.
Check out these “before” and “after” pictures from the photo shoot of my students from our print modeling class. None of these photos were retouched or Photoshopped. Top makeup artist Eric Maningat, who has done countless magazine covers, beauty shoots, and make-up looks for the runway, beautifully transformed these girls into swans with simple natural makeup. To perfect your own everyday natural make-up look, here are some essential tips.
• Eric’s tip: When it comes to natural makeup, the most important is your foundation — it should match your skin tone as closely as possible.
• Rissa’s tip: Always remember to test foundation on your face and not on your hand. If you’re wearing makeup, remove a section and test the foundation there. Testing makeup over makeup will not give you an accurate reading.
• Eric’s tip: To avoid having a flat face with just all foundation, contour the cheekbones, the nose line, and the jaw line. This accentuates your features. Use a tan colored pressed powder so it doesn’t look thick and heavy on your skin.
• Rissa’s tip: Remember to keep it very subtle. The key is to make sure it is well-blended. It should look natural, like a mere hint of a shadow.
• Eric’s tip: Define your eyebrows. I don’t use black or brown for the brows. It can look too harsh. To give natural but well-defined brows, I blend together brown eyebrow powder and concealer in a dark tone. Apply this using an eyebrow brush.
• Rissa’s tip: Grooming eyebrows can be as important as combing your hair. Eyebrows frame your eyes and create an expression for the entire face. After defining your brows, tame unruly brows into shape by using a clear mascara to brush them upward.
• Eric’s tip: Use eyeliner only on the upper lashline. This helps define the eyes. Apply a very thin line so it doesn’t look like you’re wearing makeup at all.
• Rissa’s tip: Always smudge those lines. They should be undetectable. Smudging is a good way to camouflage your mistakes if the lines you drew weren’t that neat. Smudge the lines a little with a brush or sponge applicator. You can also use a cotton swab for a softer look.
• Eric’s tip: Curl your lashes to death and apply mascara on both your upper and lower lashes. This really opens up the eyes para buhay talaga. You won’t even need eye shadow anymore.
• Rissa’s tip: Thick lashes are the ultimate eye opener. But try to keep it natural. Put on a lot of thin coats rather than one thick coat of mascara. Black mascara may look good on everyone, but black-brown mascara can give you a softer look.
