Spring/Summer Makeup Inspiration: Brandy in YRB

Brandy recently did a photo shoot for YRB magazine, in which she donned some hot swimwear and flawless Spring/Summer make up. What I adore most about her look is that it is simple to recreate. Keep reading for tips and products for how to get the look.

1. Start with a cleansed and moisturized face. Always apply sunscreen (especially during the spring and summer months)
2. Conceal blemishes, and dark areas with a concealer like Bobbi Brown tinted eye brightner or NYX concealer jar
3. Apply a liquid or Powder foundation (go for what works best on your skin type) I like Revlon Colorstay or MAC studio fix powder. Finish off liquid foundation with a loose setting powder such as Make Up For Ever HD or Jane loose translucent powder.
4. Fill your brows using a brown shadow or pencil.
5. Eyeshadow: For long lasting shadow, start with a primer such as Urban Decay Primer potion, then prep your eyes with a light-colored base such as NYX jumbo pencil in Milk, or MAC painterly paint pot. Apply a grayed lavender eyeshadow over the entire lid, blending it up into the crease. To really make your eyes pop, try using MAC’s Beautiful Iris on the lid and Shale on the crease.
6. Apply a thin line of dark brown eye liner on your upper and lower lash line, stopping about half way on the bottom. At this point, you can also apply a strip of wispy type lashes like Ardell #110 to the outer part of your lash line, and retouch with liquid liner. OR use a lenghtening mascara like L’Oreal telescopic.
7. A pink lipstick and gloss combination finishes off the look.

What do you think of Brandy’s Make up? I love it, and think this would work with all of springs colors!
