If you aren’t into all the makeup trends and tips of the trade, you can still wear makeup the easy way. Casual makeup can be a great way to dress up your face without going overboard and without breaking the piggy bank. If you are more of a casual makeup kind of gal, try these tips for the natural look. 
No matter if you are in high school or toting around grandchildren every once in a while, these casual makeup tips can help to simplify your makeup routine while still allowing you to look and feel great. Try these casual makeup tips for eyes, lips, and face for a simplified beauty routine.
1. Apply lip gloss or ChapStick for soft, smooth lips. You don’t even need lipstick unless you want to dress up your smile for a special occasion. If you have a wedding to attend or a graduation or another momentous occasion, you can wear a neutral shade of lip tint or lipstick for a casual yet sophisticated look.
2. Brush your lashes with a coat or two of lengthening or thickening mascara. This will bring out your eyes so people notice them more when talking to you. Consider whether you will need waterproof mascara for the occasion or if you can get away with washable mascara.
3. To disguise tired eyes, add a bit of gold eye shadow just below your lower lashes. This trick is great for the morning after a long night or anytime after you didn’t get as much sleep as you should have. It’s also a great casual makeup trick to use on your wedding day or other special occasion.
4. Conceal blemishes with a bit of concealer or cover-up. You can use a green tinted concealer to disguise a red area. You can also use Visine to “get the red out.”
5. Paint your nails for special occasions, or anytime if you like. Even if you aren’t into manicures and wild colors of nail polish, you can still show off lovely fingertips with a clear gloss coat or a pearly white or pearly pink shade on your nails.
Even in a casual environment, a little makeup can go a long way. You may only spend $10 or $15 to get enough makeup to last you a season at a time, and your morning routine of getting ready may only need 5 or 10 additional minutes added. Applying some casual makeup can make you feel more dressed up, sexy, and better about your place in life. You don’t need to look like you just walked off of Broadway, but even a simple, natural look with some casual makeup can draw attention to your best features.
