Bobbi Brown has written some excellent books about makeup. Kevyn Aucoin has also written some good books about makeup. These are books not only about how to acheive a natural look but also those runway looks for an evening out or whatever. For choosing products, I recommend Paula Begoun's "Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me." On television, I'd recommend catching Carmindy doing makeup on "What Not To Wear." Sometimes she cakes it on a little too heavily, but generally she has good tips.
Personally, for me, makeup is a way to express myself; it is artistic. And yes, you can acheive that natural look at home. All it takes is practice and patience.
