Transcript: Quick Tips for a Fresh Face

You can wear this anywhere - day or night - when you're going grocery shopping, or your errands, going to work... it's a quick, five-minute thing to do in the morning, and you're in and out, and ready to go. Hi! I'm Kate McCarthy with About.com and right now we're going to learn how to apply a fresh face look.

Apply Moisturizer and Foundation

First thing you want to do is moisturize - so you're just going to apply the moisturizer all over. Second thing you want to do is apply your foundation, and I always suggest using a sponge as opposed to your fingers - your finger oils and everything can really give you an uneven look. Once your foundation is done you will conceal your eyes and any blemishes.

Keep Eye Makeup Simple for a Fresh Face

Now we're going to move on to the eyes. You want to be very minimal with what you use. Start off with a white base and just apply it all over your lid. And then you're going to want to take a really light brown eye shadow, and when you're going into your crease, always assess the shape of your eyes. If you have big eyes, you can go all over the crease; if you have smaller eyes, you want to stick towards the outer part of the crease - it's going to widen it for you. Next thing you want to do is apply an eyeliner. And the trick is to keep it as close to your lash line as possible, and a really thin line so it doesn't even look like you're wearing any, but it's just going to give your eyes that pop that you need to look awake and ready to go. You can use a gel eyeliner like this one or you can also use a pencil, just make sure the pencil is very sharp. And you're just going to dot it, right above the lash line. And now you want to do your mascara - you can use brown or black, it doesn't matter, it's your preference. And the best way to apply mascara is to look down, lift your brow, and start applying from the top, and then get the bottom. And just lightly coat the bottom lashes.

Use Neutral Blush and Lip Colors

Now, the nest step is blush. You can use any type of blush, just make sure its in a neutral pink-brown tone, so you just look naturally flushed. You always follow your cheek bone - you don't want to go into this section right here where it's going toward the ear, you want to keep it right above that. And now we'll move on to the lips. Keep it neutral, like another pink or brown to match the tone of the blush that you use.

Finish Your Fresh Face Look with Powder

So now to finish the look, you just want to set it all in a powder, and here we have it: the fresh face look. Thanks for watching!
