Valentine’s Day Makeup

Whether you have a hot date or a night of fun with your best friends, Valentine’s Day shouldn’t leave you stressed out over hair and makeup. Here are two looks that will spice up your Valentine’s Day.

fun and flirty
eyes: Prime your lids with Smashbox photo finish primer and base them with Bare Minerals Serendipitous eye shadow, which highlights all eye colors, from dark brown to the lightest blue. Fill in the crease of your lids with Rosy Copper Sheen from Marc Jacobs Beauty Style Eye-Con No. 7 Plush Eye Shadow Palette, The Lolita. Finally, line lids with a liquid liner and finish the look with MAC Haute and Naughty mascara. Make sure to fill in your brows to complete your pretty, flirty look.

lips: While it may seem like the obvious choice to wear red lipstick for the holiday, a single layer of Kylie Cosmetics lip color in Kandy K is the perfect alternative. Thanks to the thick matte consistency, you only need a single layer to get the best effect. The nude pink tone of the gloss works well with both soft and dramatic makeup.

skin: Keeping with the less-is-more approach, apply concealer only where you need it and use a BB cream instead of foundation for all-over coverage. Apply a light layer of Laura Mercier’s translucent loose setting powder for a matte, flawless finish.

valentine vixen
eyes: Using the fun and flirty eye makeup as a base, take it a step or two further with another eye shadow from Marc Jacobs Beauty The Lolita. A swipe of Copper Matte Dark Coffee at the crease and outer edge of your lids will add extra dimension without looking weighed down.

lips: If there’s any time of year to break out your ruby red lipstick, it’s Valentine’s Day. Too Faced melted liquified long wear lipstick in Melted Ruby is the obvious choice if you’re looking for a bold red lip that will last well after dinner, drinks and dessert.

skin: Once you’ve applied the foundation and concealer of your choosing, contour cheeks and jawline for a more polished evening look. Anastasia Beverly Hills has an amazing contour kit that will do just the trick with a swipe of Fawn along your jawline. Blend Fawn and Sand along cheekbones to create a subtly chiseled look. Finish your fresh face with NARS blush in Orgasm.
