Natural beauty Penelope Cruz wears flawless foundation, nude lips, and lined eyes. This basic formula looks natural yet gorgeous. Eyebrow pencil defines brows to frame her eyes

Natural looking makeup enhances a woman’s beauty without looking too heavy. This is the look a mature woman should try to achieve when applying makeup because it has an anti-aging effect. I decided to look at photographs of Penelope Cruz (of course she is beautiful). I was searching for the quintessential photographs/examples of women wearing good makeup for mature women. Cruz is definitely it. In this beauty post I will give you four beauty tips that can help you achieve a look like hers.

Natural Beauty Tips | Foundation

I love the way Penelope Cruz wears her foundation. You can see in picture after picture of her that she wears flawless natural looking makeup. The photograph gallery shows a few examples of her classic and natural look. At left she is even caught without makeup and obviously is pretty with no make on at all. Notice in her celebrity event photos she has a smooth matte foundation coverage with only the slightest hint of color in her cheeks. To get a similar effect use a concealer to lightly cover your skin flaws. Then use a liquid foundation all over the face in a color one tad warmer than your natural skin tone. Finish by going around face with a barely there sun kissed powder.

Natural Beauty Tips | Lips

Her lips almost always look natural. Take a hint of light colored lipstick in nude or a light color and tap it onto your lips with your fingers for just a hint of natural color. Then go over that with a clear lip balm (I like balm better than gloss as it looks more natural). Lightly done nude lips anti-age the mouth area (by minimizing the focus on thinning lips, and moustache wrinkles) and attention is instead drawn upwards towards her eyes.

Natural Beauty Tips | Eyes

Her eyes almost always look fantastic. She usually has on a brown or beige eyeshadow with subtle black eyeliner precisely applied just at the lash line. She has thick but clean shaped eye brows with a nice arch in them that are penciled in to make them stand out and frame her eyes. Plus, she wears lots of black mascara. Whenever I see a picture of her my attention is drawn right up to her eyes and that is why she looks so good all the time. Look how the makeup artist has her eyes popping as compared to the no makeup photo.

Natural Beauty Tips | Clothes

When I look at celebrities by surfing the images on yahoo and google, I always find a smattering of good and awful celebrity photos. Take Madonna for example, you might see her in all kinds of crazy looks and some pretty ones too. What amazes me about Penelope Cruz is that she looks good in all the photos. She is always wearing sexy but classy clothes in pretty colors with nothing too wild going in. Penelope Cruz will be one of these women that ages gracefully I can already tell.

I hope you enjoyed my observation of Penelope Cruz and beauty tips for how you can emulate her natural looking beauty enhancing makeup. The images shown are so pretty that some may be professionally owned by celebrity sites perhaps Getty or Wire Images. I will be sure to place credits if I am able to find the photo source. Penelope Cruz definitely sets a great example for how to wear makeup for mature women.
