Fashionistas have been raving about Michelle Obama's classic sense of style, but her makeup also merits recognition. Chicago makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Myles, who is behind the First Lady's look, told the Chicago Sun-Times, "We always have a clean look going for her. She's a beautiful woman with gorgeous skin."
Neutral makeup is timeless, and is appropriate for women--and men, as you'll see below--of all ages. Check out our top picks for natural-looking makeup to get a look like Michelle Obama's on your own.
