Hey Aashima, the best tip for natural  makeup is to wear colors close to your natural skin tone. For your best natural look, follow the tips and tricks below :1)Moisturize. Creating a the perfect base for your makeup is very important. Moisturizer benefits your skin by hydrating, and promotes anti-aging benefits. It will even out your skin texture creating a perfect palette to begin your makeup routine. (http://www.nykaa.com/beauty-blog/natural-moisturizers-for-every-skin-type/).2)Conceal. Hide away any dark circles, fine lines or blemishes with a concealer. This will get rid of any imperfections and leave your skin looking flawless.

Be sure to apply evenly with a brush or sponge for an even, non-streaky, look and your face will appear naturally perfect.(http://www.nykaa.com/best-foundation-and-concealer-for-your-skin-tone?ptype=lst&id=228&root=nav_3&dir=desc&order=popularity).4)Subtle blush. Creme blushes work well because you can rub them in as much as you like for a dramatic or subtle look. Depending on your skin color, blush colors will vary – but peaches tend to look great on everyone. Blend in to your natural cheekbone line where pink undertones normally show.(http://www.nykaa.com/search/result/?q=Best+Peach+Color+Blush+Online+Sale).5)Neutral shadows. Sweep a neutral color over your lids for a muted but beautiful eye. Choose a color that is just a shade or two darker than your skin tone, anything too dark will create a more dramatic eye and won’t look natural.(http://www.nykaa.com/search/result/?q=nude+eyeshadow).6)Nude lip. When choosing a lip color, go for the light pinks, peaches and sand colors. You could also apply a little gloss for an even simpler lip.(http://www.nykaa.com/search/result/?q=nude+lipstick).7)Little mascara (if any). A thin layer of mascara is all you need for a natural look. You still want your eyes to stand out, so if you have light lashes, adding a layer of mascara may be a good idea. If you naturally have dark, full lashes you may skip out on the mascara.(http://www.nykaa.com/search/result/?q=mascara).
