Powder blush stays longer so avoid cream blushes.Keep the lips neutral. Stick to the shades of pinkish browns or nudes. Even lighter shades of pink will also do. This will help you to attain a natural look.Keep the eyes subtle too. Give it s soft smokey effect with light browns or use very light shades till the brow line. The eye liner should not have a definite shape and try to smudge the line close to the lashes. Apply little mascara to open up the eyes.
