Make-Up Artist: Ambika Pillai's Natural Look Make-Up Breakdown

Ambika Pillai, make-up expert, is all for this look. “This natural look surely is a hands-down winner,” she says.

Here’s how Ambika can achieve the look perfectly:

Pick up a foundation closest to your skin tone, not a shade lighter or darker.

Contour your facial features using a slightly darker shade.
Rec: MAC Blush in Margin

Use two or three shades of brown on your eyes. Sweep a single, slightly darker shade on your lids and highlight using a skin tone.

Use a brown lipstick with a lighter tinge only on the pout area.

“This look is extremely popular in Hollywood, too, where people believe in basic make-up, unlike India, where overdoing it is the usual,” adds Ambika.
