Whether you've got plans to go to dinner with your significant other this Valentine's Day or you're having a girls night with your friends, it's the perfect opportunity to opt for a bold red lip and some sparkly eyeshadow. I gained inspiration from Pinterest to create this Valentine's Day makeup look...
Firstly - as I always do - I applied Benefit POREfessional primer to my face and then I used my Spectrum B01 brush to apply Nars Sheer Glow foundation and Collection Lasting Perfection concealer onto my face. Next, I buffed Benefit Hoola bronzer onto my cheekbones and around the edge of my hairline using the Spectrum C04 brush. Underneath my cheekbones I used the Sleek Face Contour Kit and on top of my cheekbones I applied The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer (as this is the most glowy highlighter that I own!) - I also applied this on my brow bones, down my nose and above my lip. Then I filled my eyebrows in with the Maybelline Master Shape Brow Pencil; this gives a fuller but still natural look. For my eyes, I used the Urban Decay Naked palette - applying Virgin right in the inner corner of my eyes, followed by Half Baked in the centre (I applied a few layers of this to get a more intense colour), and for the outer corner I used a small amount of Darkhorse. The mascara I used was Benefit Roller Lash because this curls my lashes nicely, however, you could apply false lashes instead. To complete the look I used a bright red lipstick from Topshop in the shade Joyride.
I hope this makeup look has given you an idea of what you could do on Tuesday. Have you got any plans for Valentine's Day?
Ahh, that red lip is beautiful, you look lovely! :)
