7 tips to achieve a natural makeup look that also has full coverage

There's rarely a happy medium between a full coverage look and a natural one...but it is doable. Finding the balance is key, and it's best to start with full coverage products that can be sheered out somewhat by adding either liquid primer or facial oil.
If you still want to conceal, contour, and highlight, make sure you invest in good quality brushes because, as you know, blending is a must. Here are some ways to make your full coverage makeup appear more subtle.

1. Prime your face with a tinted moisturizer
Tinted moisturizer gives your skin a more even tone without looking heavy.

2. Lighten up your full coverage foundation
To give your foundation a more luminous appearance, try adding a few drops of facial oil to it before blending it in. You'll still get the coverage you need along with a dewy glow.
3. Choose a liquid concealer
Since you're going for a more natural look, grab a liquid concealer instead of a cream. The coverage will be luminous without looking heavy.
4. Contour or bronze with caution
When adding your shadows or sun-kissed glow, keep it light and limited to your cheekbones, forehead, and the bridge of your nose.

6. Avoid shimmery highlights
If you've never used a luminizing product, now's the time to try one out. They add a kiss of brightness without shimmer or glitter.

7. Keep your makeup look simple
To finish your look, keep your eyes natural and subtle. Nude shadow, perfectly groomed brows, and a coat of mascara is all you need.
