  • Start with base.  Those that do not use base or foundation are those that do not have a nice, even tone to their face.  Since most faces are a mixture of colors, textures and oils, you’ll want a foundation that matches the color but evens out the various tones in your skin.  Foundation can also help to hide those things you do not want people to notice as well.  Selecting the right foundation is crucial.  Always look for a color that matches your natural color.  That is the best look to go with.
  • Dramatic.  If you would like a dramatic look to your make up, then go for it.  You can change up the look of your makeup to fit the look you are after, by all means.  Here, consider using a lighter tone of foundation, dark eye liner as well as a lip liner.  These things will help the makeup features that you apply to stand out more so.  You can create all sorts of looks in this manner.

Today, makeup can be used as a form of expression as well as a form of style.  You can make makeup be anything that you would like it to be as long as it represents who you are.  Natural or dramatic, the option is yours.  Use a good quality product and apply it correctly and you can transform your look to fit you perfectly.
