Easy Summer MakeUP Tutorial - Orange Lips

Hey Guys!  My Easy Summer Tutorial is one of the easiest yet!  The trick, conceal, bronze, and apply a pop of color.  I was in the mood to create something a little less time consuming due to my looming vacation (at the time) and of course, the newest rage “Orange Lips” being the focal of my face.  Also, I wear my hair up a lot but the top knot featured in this video is a major accomplishment, no extensions on my vacay needed!!!! Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this tutorial.  Thanks so much for those that requested this look, please keep the request coming!  XOXO, Kiani

MakeUPbyKIANI Drug Store Inspired

                Have you ever gotten that gut feeling, if you went to a specific store, you would be rewarded with some amazing finds?  I get this feeling all the time but I really like when that feeling leads me to an amazing score!  This video was inspired by the beauty products I found in KMART a few weeks ago.  I was pleasantly surprised with the Almay Smart Moose foundation especially.  The coverage was sheer and light but very buildable and dried fairly quickly.  This find was definitely a steal, considering it was marked down to 3.50 from 13.49!!!  To open the foundation at first I was skeptical to apply on myself, but as a freelance artist, I definitely wasn't going to throw it away.  If you watched the video you will see the sheerness yet beautiful natural coverage this foundation applies to my skin.  Moving on to the eyes, I had been wanting a cream eye liner to brighten my lower lash line so, yep, I purchased one.  I hope you all enjoy this tutorial and leave your comments and request.

Summer Proof MakeUP PSS

PSS: Summer Proof your Makeup

Prepare, Prime, and Press

Prepare your skin for the environment by applying a moisturizer with a SPF of 30 or more.

Select a primer designed for your skin type (oily or dry), squeeze a dime size amount on the tips of your fingers and press the primer into the skin your face.

Select and Stencil

Select a longwearing waterproof foundation (preferably liquid), pour a dime size amount to the top of a flat top kabuki brush and stencil (light, quick, tapping motion) the foundation onto your face.

Swivel and Set

Swivel (to swirl) your powder brush into your matte loose or press powder, sweep the powder across your face.

After following these steps, you will have just summer proofed your makeup!

My Products of Choice:

Moisturizers: Estee Lauder Resilience Lift Moisturizer.  It doesn't have an SPF of 30, but it does have collagen boosters which supplies my skin with protection from premature aging and fine lines.  My foundation also has SPF protection, therefore I like this routine.

Primer:  I love, love, love Becca Ever Matte Poreless Priming Perfector Primer.  It is an oil control, matte, pore minimizing primer.  It seems to evaporate on contact.  If you have problems with you T-Zone this is the product for you!

Foundation: Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation is my go to all day foundation.  The coverage is full and it withstands even my Zumba workouts!  It is 39.50 and sold in department stores worldwide, but it works!!! For a less expensive alternative try Revlon ColorStay.  For 13.00 or less it does supply at least 8hrs of coverage.  Nice alternative.

Powder: I use MAC Mineralized Powder in Medium Deep. I also contour, blush, and highlight my cheeks with an array of powders therefore I am covered!

Brushes: Sigma F80 Flat Top Kabuki and Sigma Powder Brush.
