Today’s makeover is of my good friend Kisten. She is such a fun and energetic woman! We used to waitress together and she could always work circles around me:) She’s a blast and conversation is always flowing when she’s around! Plus she’s a total babe!

The first thing I did with Kisten was some exfoliation and moisture! We live in a desert climate and SOOO many of the faces I work on are dehydrated. When skin is dry and flaky 9 times out of 10 foundation is only going to draw attention to that so its not a fix for makeup to tackle. I used my favorite exfoliator (Cure – post about it here) to banish any of the dead skin for the flakiness and also so the moisture could penetrate. Then I massaged in the IT Cosmetics Confidence Cream. I love how soft and silky it makes the skin. Just doing that alone made her look so refreshed and vibrant! Next I shaped her brows.  I wanted to lift her arch up so she’d have a little more space on the lid to show of her gorgeous eyes and it would also brighten her expression. I filled them with the Colour Pop brow pencil in bangin’ brunette. It’s tiny enough I can create little teeny hair strokes which makes them look more natural.
I also chose a bright copper/gold eyeshadow to bring out her green eyes, using a black liquid liner on the lip lash line to make them pop.
On her lips I lines them softly with NYX Taupe and then filled them with a flush pink gloss.
