5 Shades Of Lips For Brunettes

Have your ever just changed your hair color so dramatically and now you can’t figure out what lipsticks to wear? I just recently had this problem switching to bright blonde to a very dark brunette. I have fixed my little problem and thought I would share my top 5 new lipsticks that look great with my newly dyed dark brunette hair.

  1. MAC’s ‘Charmed I’m Sure’ from the Marilyn Monroe Collection. It is a beautiful blue red that is matte and gives a very 1950’s look when it contrasts with your dark tresses. MAC’S Russian Red is a very good duplication for this product. (more…)

Kouturekiss - Contour And Highlight With Cream and Powder

With contouring, you can sculpt your face into whatever shape you like. To add shadows or depth, we’re going to use darker powders or creams. Usually, the key places to contour are the hollows of the cheeks (You can find these by sucking your cheeks in like a fishy face), the temples, and the jawline. However, you can pretty much contour wherever you’d like! (Even your nose or eyes – it will help add dimension to your face if it’s looking a bit flat.) When contouring it’s best to use matte products (without shimmer), because this will be more natural looking. (more…)

Take Off Your Makeup With Coconut Oil (It’s 100% Natural, Too!)

Kouturekiss - Take Off Your Makeup With Coconut Oil

Want a more natural (and cost efficient) way to take off your eye makeup at night? I use coconut oil (pure extra virgin and organic is the best!) and my makeup comes off smoother and quicker than any other expensive makeup remover I’ve used before! If it gets on your skin you don’t have to worry about chemicals leeching in – coconut oil is actually great for helping your skin glow and keeping it moisturized! Plus, it smells delicious!

  1. Just tab a little coconut oil on your hand to warm. Dip cotton ball in warmed coconut oil.
  2. Gently “rub” makeup off your eyes, just like you would with a standard eye-makeup remover. Don’t rub too hard, as the skin around your eyes is very delicate and prone to wrinkling. (Who wants wrinkles at 25? Not me!) Instead, blot in sweeping motions. Use as much oil as is needed.
  3. Finally, take a clean cotton ball and rub off any excess oil left on your skin. Repeat until eye is clean and makeup free. Voila! Works like a charm!

So next time you run out of makeup remover, try this 100% natural home-remedy first (olive oil works as well)!
