Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Kim with Simply Beautiful in Austin, Texas and we are going to talk about how to wear makeup for the beach. We want to keep it pretty simple at the beach and make sure you are wearing sunscreen. Lancome has great tinted moisturizer that has an SPF of 50. I think this is a great product. You just want to take it and sweep it very gently over the tops of your face and make sure you get your whole face because you are going to get coverage as well as sun protection so just blend it, do your hairline and everywhere where you think you need protection. It also has a little waterproof factor. Next if you feel like you don't have enough color when you go to the beach and you want a little color we are going to take a little bronzer and just sweep it from the top on the cheek bone and down. Just give yourself a nice little brush of color like that. Now eyeliner for the beach is most difficult because well if you are going to go swimming it is going to stay in place and there is not an eyeliner in the world that no matter what it says waterproof or not that I really believe is going to stay in place. But if you find a waterproof eyeliner that is going to be your best bet. So just keep it simple, close please, and just go over the top of the lash in little strokes, keep it really light. You just want kind of a little definition for yourself and look up, a little bit on the bottom but only towards the center, just make it look like your lashes are just a little deeper and of course a waterproof mascara. The Rimmel waterproof mascara is great and Lancome is great as well. Look up and touching the tips of the lashes like that and then up. Keep it natural, you don't need dramatic eyelashes at the beach, so just keep it really natural. Get a lengthening mascara rather than a thickening mascara. Of course for your lips you want to get some chapstick with some sunscreen in it, apply it over the lips as much as you can even going outside the lips. This is protecting your lips from the sun, you don't want to get them chapped. And last but not least just, you want to take a little gloss on your lip liner and you are not going to take it to the beach with you but keep it protected and sweep it on your lips just for a little color. Just get a little bit lighter color than your skin tone, that's just for a little shine and for you day at the beach you can look beautiful and then you'll get your natural color."
