Copy this look: Step 1: Start by applying tinted moisturizer (check out these highly-rated ones to find your new fave).

Step 2: Define brows with powder that is a shade lighter than the roots of your head hair. Try Ardell Brow Defining Powder, $4.99. "Just because you are going natural doesn't mean you should neglect your brows," advises Schlip. Step 3: Brush your eyelids with a light silver shadow.

Step 4: Curl lashes and apply three coats of black lengthening mascara to top lashes only. CoverGirl Volume Exact Mascara, $6.99 is a reader fave. Step 5: Smile big and use a blush brush to apply bronzer on the apples of your cheeks to bring out a healthy glow. Try Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Loose Shimmer Bronzer, $30.
