Travel Makeup Video

April, 15, 2012

Here Duncan Smith, a professional makeup artist, and I show how to look great anywhere on a trip with only eight small products. Duncan gave me a natural look, but you can go more dramatic just by using a deeper-colored travel palette.

To film this video, my friend Brett brought in his Canon 5D and 7D so you can clearly see Duncan apply the makeup. I was quite excited about this upgrade from my tiny camera. Thanks to my mom for spontaneously stepping in as the second camera operator. You can catch a glimpse of her in the mirror at times:)

When I was partway through editing this video, my computer started to crash and couldn’t keep up with the footage, so I had to edit most of it in slow motion. Fingers crossed…let’s see how it turns out!! Can’t wait to edit my next video on my new Mac.

    Katherine! This video is great! I have been anxiously awaiting it’s debut. I really appreciated the demo Duncan gave us so that we know how to apply the different types of make-up. I had no idea you can use concealer as a base for eye shadow. Thanks for the tips, the video was fabulous!

    Katherine! This tutorial video is so helpful! When I studied abroad this past summer, I found it difficult to know exactly what to pack for my trip. This video has great tips on lasting makeup that will not fade away throughout the day.
