Blend it well: Make sure to blend the foundation well into the skin. You sure wouldn’t wish you look cakey, would you? Blending is very important. Apply the foundation thoroughly and use concealers to camouflage the fine lines or any uneven surface.

Do the eyes subtly: For a formal and natural look, you need to stick to very neutral or pale eye shadow colors. Choose earthy colors like shades of brown, grey, light pink or subtle beige. These colors are best for the formal look. Choose the eye shadow type (powdered or crème or liquid) according to your skin type. Apply it lightly on the eyelids. You needed highlight your brow bone with a bright color if you wish to portray a subtle look.

However, you can go for light colors for a little highlighting. Use a lighter tint just above the eyelashes and gradually darken towards upwards. Use a thick mascara just to highlight the lashes. You can even apply a little kohl in the lower eye for that extra zing in the otherwise formal look!

Blush it right: Use a creme or powdered blusher to highlight the cheeks. Crème blusher helps to create a more subtle look; however, you can also go for powdered one in case your skin is oily. Dab a little creme blusher on the cheeks and blend it till he cheekbones.
