To keep your makeup looking natural, opt for light-, sheer-, and natural-coverage formulas. Powder formulas should typically be avoided, as they can cover your skin’s natural texture. When overapplied, powers can also sometimes settle into fine lines and pores or appear too cakey for a natural look (more on that ahead).
The trick to achieving a makeup look that enhances your natural features is to use products that create a skin-like finish. This will give the illusion that you’re bare-faced, even when you’re not. Using a makeup sponge can also help—when you use a damp sponge to apply your makeup, the finish should appear glowing, blended, and natural.
