Detailed Triple WIng Tutorial


Hey Guys!  This video was inspired by a subscribers request for a pink and yellow look.  I haven't recorded a “Talk Through” video in a while so, I figured what better time than now?  I absolutely love the art of a Cut Crease.  The more you practice the more precision you will become.  I love a bold graphic eye too.  This look is right on trend for summer 2014.  I hope you all enjoy this tutorial and will continue to leave your request. I look forward to creating and being inspired by you, as always, if you haven’t subscribed to my channel, why not?  XOXO, Kiani

Blue Smokey Eye


Hey Guys!  I have some very exciting news.  Today’s video is sponsored by Visions of Beauty.  What does this mean?  I have become the new face of Visions of Beauty and you all as viewers will receive 10% off any product shown in this video.  Being a part of a cosmetic brand has been a goal of mine for quite a while and frankly, I was slightly overwhelmed by this amazing opportunity.  Not only will I be able to create with a brand that sponsors me, I will also carry some of the amazing products in my studio in Charlotte, NC.  This is one of the looks I wanted to share with you all.  Summer 2014 is days away and blues always find their way into my tutorials, but with my new product range, I couldn't help myself.  This look is layered with hues of blue and a pop of yellow.  I didn't want you all to forget the sexiness of a well-structured, precision, smoky eye.  So if you are going clubbing, out for a girl’s night or simply wanting to make your summer that much hotter, look no further than a blue smoky eye.  As always, leave any color combinations you all would like to see and I’ll see what I can come up with.  Thanks to all of you that have subscribed if you haven’t why not?  XOXO, Kiani

My Top 6 Highlights Summer 2014


Hey Guys!  I couldn't help myself, I had to give you guys a list of  my top 6 favorite highlighters for summer 2014. Some are old some are new, but to me they will all do! For an added tip, apply your powder highlighters on top of freshly applied foundation. The dampness of the foundation creates a foiled glow to the skin and extra radiance.  Don't forget to contour, blush then highlight to make your your cheek bones pop!!! I hope you find this video beneficial.  Leave comments below on more products you want me to try. I might feature your comment in an
 upcoming tutorial.  Thanks for all your support. XOXO, Kiani

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!!!!

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. 

Almay Smart Moose Foundation – Medium
Maybelline Fit Concealer- Sand
Elf Bronzer/Hightlight-St. Lucia
Jordana Liquid Liner-Black
Jordana 12 hour liner- Emerald Green
Jordana 12 hour liner- Almond (New Favorite)
