Robert: One of my favorite looks every year is that soft sun-kissed glow that girls get during
the summer and spring. And you can recreate that with makeup. It works for every age,
every ethnicity.
And it's really a fast easy fun look that you can do yourself.
All we're gonna do because Lexi's so beautiful
is I'm going to
define her brows, but I'm not going to use pencil 'cause she's young and I don't think that a girl
her age
I don't think women in their twenties necessarily want pencil. They want to use powder and a brush instead.
So I'm going to do it strictly with powder and a brush.
I'm just going to give her a little bit of a sheen to her eyelid
and her skin. I'm going to give her a flushed cheek and then we are going to nude out her lips a little bit because naturally what would
happen
with the sun-kissed glow is you would lose a little bit of the color to your lips because
the rest of your skin gets a little more glowy.
Okay, so the first thing I'm going to do is I am going to define her brows a bit and I'm just going to use a brow powder
because it looks more natural.
Lexi's got a great natural shape to it, they're just not very filled in.
And if I used pencil they would look too drawn on.
So I'm just doing little feathery hair like strokes in the direction that the hair grows.
Now I'm gonna do
or take
a product that's going to be very multi-purpose. I'm going to take a face illuminator,
which is a product that adds sheen and glow to the skin,
and I'm going to use it in multiple places. I'm going to use it on her eyelid
and in other areas of her face to give it that
sun-kissed glow. 'Cause what happens with a
sun-kissed glow is you do end up,
close for me,
you do end up with
a bit of a sheen to it naturally.
'Cause we don't want a sun burned glow, we want a sun-kissed glow.
Just a nice pretty sheen to the lid.
Then I'm going to take a little bit
put it in the high points of her face. Her forehead
center of her forehead, down her nose,
tip of the chin,
and right
on top of the cheekbone.
Now, the reason why I'm putting highlighter in the specific areas I am is because you always
want to put that glow where the
high points of the face are.
Which help give the face shape and make it look even more glowy. Now I'm going to go ahead and reinforce
it, my crème with just a tiny pit of powder.
Highlight her as well.
Illuminate her because it will just give me a little bit more pop.
Next I'm going to go through and I'm going to start to create my flush because we all know that one of the biggest
things
that give you that sun-kissed glow is a nice flushed cheek because
that's what happens when you're outside.
I'm going to start with a crème first.
Taking a brush,
smile for me,
and I'm going to start to create that flush.
I like to do crème first and then powder on top of it because it gives me more intense color.
And especially when you're trying to create a flushed affect.
Okay Lexi, you don't have to be that happy. I'm just kidding! Now I'm going to go back, take
my sponge.
Don't be afraid to go a little strong, you can see I'm a little strong. And you're just going to
stipple out.
Blend in
with your sponge.
Now you don't want a lot of powder because you want this look to stay
fresh looking
but you have to powder
crèmes and liquids
in order to get them to set. And now the next thing we're going to do to
reinforce the flush and give her that sun-kissed look
is we start to add our bronzer.
So bronzing the cheekbone,
temple.
Now in order to give it a really sun-kissed affect I'm going to go ahead a do a little bit of bronzer on the nose
and the chin.
Right on top of that illuminator.
And you can see how she's starting to get a flushed look to her cheek.
Which is what's going to give her that little sun-kissed look.
Now I'm just going to reinforce with a little bit of powder, smile for me.
Now for a little more definition on her eye,
I'm going to take that powder illuminator
and I'm going to add a tiny bit of it underneath her eye. Look up.
So I'm using my brush number fourteen
to apply a little bit of a shimmer there.
It's a really great way for
a young girl or a young
woman that doesn't want to have a lot of products or use a lot of products to create a fresh
look for herself
with just a minimal number of products.
And of course we're going to put some mascara on.
Curl her lashes and apply mascara. I've already curled before we started.
So I'm going to do a layer of mascara.
Look straight in there.
And don't be afraid to do lots of layers of mascara with this look because lashes are a
really big part of
what creates that
defined eye in this look because all we're doing on this look is highlighting the eye and defining
the lashes.
That's what keeps it so fresh looking.
Now, I want her lip
to be
less
prominent
so I've moisturized it. And that moisturizer has been sitting on there while I've been doing the
rest of the look.
And I'm just going to simply blot off that excess.
Now I want to go back
and I don't want her lips to be quite so pink. I want them to be a little nuder.
That way we don't take away from the glow to the face.
Oh you really look pretty. Look how pretty you look. Can you see yourself there? Sorry.
That wasn't in the script.
Now what I'm going to do is I'm just going to go through and you can
use your finger to erase the lip with a
little bit of concealer or a foundation brush.
And I'm just going to subtly,
I'm not going to erase them completely but I'm going to pull back the color a little bit because she naturally
has
very chapped, we are in Utah, chapped winter lips.
And we want a summer sun-kissed look.
Then I can go back with a nude lip gloss, I know you're shocked, nude.
What's the world coming to?
But this look does need a nude lip.
And I'm just going to take a beautiful shimmery gloss, or shiny gloss.
Not very opaque, more sheer.
And kind of a more tanny nude, not a pinky nude. 'Cause a pinky nude
once again would give me too much color.
And I'm trying to keep her lips less colorful.
So it's a much more tan nude.
We'll take her hair down.
And you can see how she just look like she's been out in the sun at the beach.
As you can see why this is one of my favorite looks. It just looks fresh, it looks youthful, it looks new,
it looks modern all the time, it's in every year.
Fast and easy to do.
Just review how easy. Very few products used, face illuminator, we used it on the eyes and on the face.
A crème blush, a powder blush, and a powder bronzer and a lip gloss. That's it!
Go forth
and be sun-kissed.
