Id say just do a powder foundation. A light pinky blush. A clear gloss. And maybe thin eyeliner and mascara. If you want eyeshadow. Stick to neutral matte tones. Like your browns and deep greens. Hope I helped.
I am exactly the same way! I would stay away from the really bright colors because they are rather dramatic looking. If you don't want to look fake or like you are trying to hard i would suggest a brown mascara (it typically blends with peoples natural eyelash color and makes lashes appear fuller + longer and draws more attention to your eye) along with a pencil of the same color only applied on the top lash line. If you apply pencil underneath the eye it is visibly not natural. By applying it to the upper section it will make the lashes look fuller. If you use a lighter shade of blue (such as baby blue) and apply it with a thicker brissled cosmetic brush it will add a little sparkle to your eye but not look drastic or club like. Hope it helped!

So, I don't really wear make-up and when I do, I want to make it look natural, how can I do that without making it look like I TRIED!
