The Night Owl’s Winged Eye

Kouturekiss - The Night Owl Eye Look

Want a dramatic eye, but don’t want to bother with eyeshadow? Try doing a winged liner look, but take it a little further….

I used Inglot gel liner in #77, and angled MAC brush #263. I love this liner because it’s the blackest I’ve ever used and waterproof. This is my favorite brush because it’s very precise, and the synthetic hairs give a smooth and thin application.

Step 1. Starting with a matte eye, use your synthetic angle brush with the tip pointing away from the eye, to lay down your first line.
Step 2. Go back to the line, and drag the liner across the entire lid to the inside of the eye. The bigger the better, dont be scared! It’ll feel weird but it’ll look beautiful! Connect with the front of the eye. (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 - Getting Lippy For The Dark Skinned Girl

In order to “master” something, you need to take a little time to perfect what you’re going for. Quick makeups are great, but like anything, perfection takes time!

  1. Start with a clean lip. Wipe off any chapstick or oily residue.
  2. Outline top lip with a red lipliner (a thick line), I used Cherry from MAC.
  3. Outline bottom lip. (more…)
