(NUI) - Today, we're all "getting real." When it comes to attracting a significant other, natural beauty now beats out the processed hair, acrylic nails and fake tans of the past.

Another plus to natural beauty is its ease and efficiency. Simply enhance what nature gave you. How? Follow these tips and you'll be a natural from head to toe.

* Show off your skin. Thick, caked-on foundation is for clowns only. Instead, try a tinted moisturizer that will give you a radiant glow.

* Be a clear winner. Long, candy red claws are a disco do, but a natural don't. Brush on a couple coats of clear or sheer nail polish on tidy, square-trimmed nails to add shine.

* Life is rosy. A hint of color on cheeks creates a vibrant, youthful complexion. Try a translucent cheek stain that, unlike a true blushing face, won't subside within seconds.

* Tame the Tammy Fayes. Black mascara will smudge the most sublime natural look. Use a brown mascara that will thicken lashes without making them appear like spider legs. A clear mascara is also a great option.

* Treat your tresses. Get clean, sensational-smelling hair with a natural shampoo, such as Nature's Gate Organics Chamomile and Lemon Verbena Shampoo, Health Magazine's Healthy Beauty Award winner for "Best/Healthiest Shampoo."

* Love your lips. The most luscious lips leave bright lipstick and sticky gloss behind. Lip balm with sun block now comes in a host of tints, softening lips with just a touch of color.

* Get a gorgeous grin. Your original pearly whites may have become stained and yellow, and there's nothing natural about that. Treat your teeth to a low-abrasion whitening toothpaste that will whiten teeth, freshen breath and help maintain good overall oral health.

* Breathe and move. Forget the hard-core sweat. Today's sexy, healthy bodies are toned through yoga. Find a yoga video or DVD and your body won't be the only part of you that benefits - your mind and spirit will as well.
