. That really bums me out because Canon are supposed to be the best!! My pictures definately look NOTHING like yours. You'rs come out so amazing so natural. Mine are very Flash washed adding a very Orange tint to my tan skin.....
My biggest problem is when using NO FLASH, my pictures 9 times out of 10 come out blurry. Do you know why? Or how to change it?
Any other suggestions for me?!

I'm not familiar with this particular model so I don't really know what you can do. Do you have a fill-in flash feature? It makes the flash a little less bright, usually. Otherwise, maybe try holding the camera further away and using the zoom, that way the flash doesn't bounce too strongly off your face.
When you don't use flash, pictures have a tendency to be blurry when there is
not enough light. So basically, if you want the image to be very crisp without flash, you need to be in a really well-lit place, for example taking the picture right by a window. Direct sunlight can be a bit harsh for taking pictures of make-up as it can create harsh shadows and wash out the colours, so maybe indirect sunlight is best. Try standing beside a window without the sunlight directly hitting your face.
You can also try fiddling with the automatic light settings, there may be different symbols for indoors, cloudy, sunny, etc. Those can be quite useful too.
Good luck!
