Looking like a natural beauty takes work, and it can be tricky to master for some. To ace the perfect au naturel look like a pro, follow the tricks below!

1. Use a damp sponge.
What makes applying foundation with a damp sponge better compared to fingers and brushes is that it makes the coverage sheer, even, and natural-looking. Dip a sponge in cold water (cold water relaxes the pores) and gently build up thin layers of foundation on your complexion—the finish will appear like second skin.

2. Select liquid and cream formulas.
Spreadable formulas look more natural than the powdery kind because they melt on the skin like butter. So if you're picking a base, tinted moisturizers, BB Creams, CC Creams, liquid, and cream foundations are your best bets. For a healthy flush, cream blushes and cheek tints are the most suitable choices.

3. Work with the same shades
Make your look seamless when you use color shades from the same family. For example, if you use a peach blush, swiping a similar hue on your lips will bestow born-with-it perfection!
