The looks, developed by the EcoTools Beauty Team using newly introduced products, help you get ready for the Summer season with a sun-kissed face and hair with a playful twist. Check out the full looks on EcoTools.com.

With thoughts of long hot days and evening parties poolside, EcoTools Beauty Team members Teni Panosian and Christine Symonds created a bronzed, glowing makeup look and breezy chic hair with a twist to top off the look.  Makeup expert Panosian is a professional beauty blogger, YouTube beauty sensation and the voice behind MissMaven.com. Celebrity hairstylist Symonds regularly styles red carpet beauties such as Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting, Kristen Bell, Anna Faris, Ali Larter and more.

Panosian developed this naturally radiant look using a variety of EcoTools products, and focused on playing up color with the new EcoTools Angled Kabuki Brush, which can be used in a variety of ways to highlight, bronze, sculpt and more. The EcoTools Angled Kabuki Brush retails for $9.99.

«The Angled Kabuki Brush is EcoTools’ largest and softest brush in the collection and is perfect for creating the natural effect of tan, highlighted skin,» says Panosian. «Whether you’ve been in the office all day or catching waves by the shore, try this fresh makeup application that will take you from day to night.» 

Start by applying SPF cream and then apply a lightweight foundation using the EcoTools Stippling Brush.  The duo-fiber bristles of this brush are meant to build sheer coverage. Apply your favorite concealer under your eyes and any other trouble spots, and then go back in with the Stippling Brush to blend it all out for a seamless, natural finish.

To create that sun-kissed glow, dip the EcoTools Angled Kabuki Brush into a bronzer with a bit of shimmer for an extra radiant look. Begin applying around the hairline, sculpting the cheeks, and finish with an all-over swipe to distribute a nice even color. The large, angled head of the brush allows for a quick and natural application.

Try using it to apply bronzer on the neck, decolletage and shoulders for an all over body glow. Next up, grab the EcoTools Tapered Blush Brush and apply a bright peach blush to the apples of the cheeks, being sure to blend with the bronzer.

For the eyes, all you’ll need is the EcoTools Eye Enhancing Duo Set. First, take the flat bristled side and dip into the same bronzer that was used on the face. Apply this color all over the lids, from lash line to crease.  Next, taking the fluffy blending side, apply a matte dark brown shadow to just the outer corners of the eyes, giving the look a little more dimension.

To add just a bit more definition, take the angled liner side and apply a bit of black gel eyeliner to the lash line just to darken it up slightly. Finally, frame the eyes with one or two coats of your favorite mascara. Finish off the look with a sheer, peachy nude lip gloss for a light pop of color.
