Kouturekiss - A Summer Ready Makeup Look

When I do my summer makeup I like to stick with a fresh faced look that says “I look good without trying”. Always remember to start off with a clean and moisturized face before putting on any makeup.

  1. Apply a very sheer coat of your favorite foundation and powder. (I used Revlon Photo Ready Foundation in Medium Beige and Rimmel Stay Matte Translucent Powder)
  2. Apply a cream highlighter with your fingers along the top of your cheekbone. (I used Benefit’s What’s Up)
  3. Now let’s add some “coraly” whipped blush. Always apply with your fingers to get the most natural looking application. (I used L’Oreal whipped blush in Angelic)  (more…)

Master 4 Liquid Eyeliner Looks

Eyeliner can dramatically change the appearance of your eyes, so today I will be showing you 4 different ways to wear your eyeliner. My two favorite liquid eyeliners are the NYC Liquid Eyeliner and the ELF Liquid Eyeliner. They both have easy to use brushes and the formulas stay all day. Today I will be using my NYC eyeliner.

1) The first to wear your liquid eyeliner is the subtle cat eye that has a short wing and a thin line going across the eyelid. This is more toned down for an everyday look, or for someone with round eyes that wants to make them look bigger! (more…)

Kouturekiss - Double Waterfall Twist

Chanel your inner bohemian goddess this summer with the mini half-up double waterfall twist — a version of the classic waterfall twist, this ultra-cool style is easy-to-do and gives an effortlessly beachy vibe.

  1. Start with hair’s natural texture—subtle waves will enhance this style’s beachy feel.
  2. Take a small section of hair close to the temple, leaving some pieces to hang loosely in front, and separate that section into two equal pieces.
  3. Twist the piece closest to the hairline over the second piece.
  4. Holding the two pieces of hair in one hand, grab a small piece of hair from above the twisted section in your other hand and place it between the first and second pieces. Let the new piece hang loosely—you will never add hair to the original sections. (more…)

Kouturekiss - Perfect The Natural Looking Wave

Step 1: The first step in any hairstyle involving a heat tool is to prep your hair. I used TRESemme Keratin Smooth Heat Protection Shine Spray first, followed by a light misting of TRESemme Ultra Fine Mist Hair Spray. I find that prepping my hair with hairspray helps the curls to hold better. The secret to a classic wave hairstyle is a small barrel curling iron, a clip-less one that is. I will be using my Cortex 4 in 1 curling iron set with the smallest barrel which is a 1/2-1″. Now on to the fun part! (more…)
