Aisha Alves: Hi! I am Aisha Alves with Picture Perfect Makeup and I am going to show you how to update your makeup for the summer season. First, I am going to show you how to prepare your skin for the sunny days ahead. Next, I am going to show you eyes that sizzle, with black textures and fun colors, keep you eyes fresh for summer, and finally melt-proof color, for lips and cheeks that will not budge even in summer heat.

The tools and materials you're going to need to do this are, a gel-based cleanser, a cream gel hydrator or moisturizer, tinted moisturizer with an SPF, mineral concealer, cream or liquid eye shadows, waterproof or water resistant mascara, a gel bronzer, lip and cheek stain, and an SPF lip-balm, a set of makeup brushes and applicators like cotton swabs, tissues and sponges. When doing this makeup application and with any makeup application, always remember to be safe, By using clean makeup brushes, make sure any products that you're using are sanitized and also make sure that they are in good condition. Before we get started, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I've been a makeup artist for over ten years and I am the co-founder of Picture Perfect Makeup. We specialize in weddings, special events, and photography makeup. Let's get started.
