1. Even out your skin tone

2. Look for sheer shadows

An earthy eye shadow palette (think taupes, beiges and browns) is all you need to highlight and define your eyes. These softer shades can be worn quite sheer for day, but are buildable for a more dramatic effect too.

3. Show off more natural lashes

Put away your black mascara and try a dark brown shade instead. The effect is a little more subtle but just as pretty, emphasizing your lashes without looking harsh.

4. Get some arch support

Defining your eye brows is a great way to enhance your natural beauty, especially when you're wearing minimal makeup. This kit comes with a powder to fill in any sparse areas and a wax help keep your brows in shape.

Smashbox Brow Tech, $30.

5. Play down your pout

Nude lips are a big trend this season, but that doesn't mean leaving them bare. Look for a sheer, hydrating lipstick that is close to your natural shade and steer clear of anything matte or overly glossy.
