Here is how you put on the most natural, organic, and cheapest make up in the world. It is also the hardest to put on, but lasts the longest. It requires dedication, commitment to beauty, and a serious discipline. So, if you are dissatisfied with your make-up products that peel off at the end of the day, you are in a perfect place.

1. Smile.

To do this, stretch the corners of your mouth in a curve, like a boat. For best results, show teeth. Practice a non-awkward smile in front of the mirror. However, the most natural smile is a genuine smile. To achieve this, surround yourself with people who do it often. They are not hard to find. If you can’t find them, simply look for the gloomiest person and smile. You might be surprised. Repeat process everyday.

2. Fill your mind with beautiful thoughts.

You can hide ugly thoughts, and cover them up with a mask. However, it will eventually radiate from within. The best solution is to remove the mask, fix the thoughts, and fill them with beautiful things. This is probably the hardest step, for it requires daily practice.

3. Use a Foundation.

A real one. The one that holds, and one that would not only remove all your blemishes but who will accept you just as you are. Use the one that has been tried and tested through all the years, decades, centuries and millenniums. One that will stand though the heavens fall. Go to the one who died for you. Yes, Jesus.

3. Consider the light.

Work with the light. Light shows you what to conceal, what to reveal, and what to highlight. You probably have this at your home already so you don’t need to spend anything. Just search any old bookcase for a forgotten thick book. Look up, it’s probably at the top shelf. Blow off the dust and flip its pages. Or, open the app that you use when the preacher says so. You know what I mean.

4. Watch Tutorials.

Also known as people. Look at how people with the most natural make up lives. Notice the joy, the way they view life, and how they treat others. Learn from other people’s success and mistakes. Ask questions. Comment. Receive counsels.

5. Create your own tutorials.

Learn. Teach. Repeat. It is not enough to watch tutorials. Create your own version. Be a mentor. The more you teach these steps, the more you learn to create a better version of the process. Share your story and make disciples.

3. Purify and Revitalize

As with any other make up, at the end of the day, you need to clear your skin. This is the most important step. You cannot recycle make up for the next day. Never sleep with unforgiven sins, with hatred, and with anxieties. Purify. Revitalize. Ask for forgiveness. Cast all your cares. However, this is the tricky part: you cannot do it on your own. Yes, only through the Holy Spirit.

“Charm is deceitful and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” Proverbs 31:30
