Girls next door look

.

Theme:

If I were a girl in the category "girl next door", I would do my make up some what like this. I wear this when I go to family dinners or when I go see people I don't see that often. It's soft and settle, which doesn't make people afraid of you.
As for eyeshadow use, I change the colors every now and then. It's the same eye makeup I wear for an every day look, you know, the same technique, but I switch out the colors. Sometimes pink, sometimes green, sometimes green. But settle colors, not bold or electric colors!
And of course pony tails, just because it's stereotypical. Haha. Even though I never wear pony tails, I only did it to make the look a completed "girl next door"

Cheeks!

And then my e.l.f. studio blush in Tickled Pink, all over my cheeks. Or, just on the cheek bones and on the apples of my cheeks, to give me that young looking face with blushing round cheeks.
I don't own any matte blushes, even though I'd love to. But The shimmer in the blushes I have makes me apply it more carefully, so I won't get a powdery and overdone look. It's the "hard" way practice/learn, but it works!

Eyes!

I used some of the lightly shimmery pink shades from my e.l.f. 100 piece palette, and the definer shadow from my Wet 'n Wild Comfort Zone palette. And another lighter matte yellow-toned eyeshadow to blend out the crease up towards the brow bone.

Random note: 

It's the shade in the bottom right row, the blue looking one, with a brown undertone-something.
It's GREAT for the crease! It has a special effect in it, some how. When you tilt your head backwards, when the color is in the crease, it turns lighter in color, than when you hold your head as you normally would. It's hard to explain. But it only goes like that, you wear a little of it, not a heavy layer, just a little bit. And that's why I used it in the crease for this look. It looks like your eyes a naturally deeper. Not completely sunken in to the head of course, but just pretty and defined.

Lips!

First lip balm. Nicely moisturized lips without cracks are always a good thing. It makes you look healthy and hydrated!
I dapped on some of my Rimmel Moisture Renew in shade 140, Tulip Pink, on to my lips. Just to get some color, but not cover the entire lip in product. It just supposed to look like the lips are naturally colorful. You can use what ever color you want, nude to colorful, as long as you only apply a very very thin layer to your lips.

AND MOST IMPORTANT! 

Flawless looking skin! A good primer to make the foundation go on smoother, a good foundation that matches your skin tone, buffed in with a synthetic brush so the pores disappear. It's hard to explain how it works, but when you buff the foundation in to your skin, then it fills the pores, so they'll look smaller, and barely even there. Of course it's important to cleanse well when you use that technique!
- Followed by a good powder, and if you use a matte powder, you can follow with a bronzer with some shine in it to give you a pretty and attractive glow.
If you want to, you can use a setting powder such as e.l.f. HD powder or Rimmel London's Silky Loose Powder. But you don't have too. Be careful with the loose setting powders. The ones in translucent can give you a weird looking face, kind of a white cast to your entire face, which looks very stupid. But it's only visible on pictures, not in real life!

I hope it was helpful some how, for those of you who wear settle make up or wants to look more calm/settle. :-)
