Valentine's Day is right around the corner, a week from today actually :p I wanted to do something with a sexy and sultry. Mission accomplished I think ;)
First as always ladies the same old same old. Moisturizer, foundation, concealer, powder and eyeshadow primer. Keep your eye brows light but make sure they have a shape. I am using MAC's eyebrow pencil in taupe. I love this pencil it looks so natural and fills my brows help giving them a gorgeous shape! :D If you haven't tried it, YOU MUST.
Now that we got past the boring part :p I mixed a red and a pink eyeshadow from my Coastal Scents palette. I put more red then pink however. I wanted it to be dramatic, but I thought red would be too dramatic for a daytime/date look. So I took a pink and toned it down a bit. Apply the eyeshadow all over your lid just up to your crease if you go beyond your crease don't worry just blend it out. What I found out is using my fingers for the Coastal Scents Palette works better because using a brush takes longer to get the dark color. It always goes on light with a brush and you have to work up the color. Apply the eyeshadow underneath your eye as well as close to your waterline as possible. Connect the color from the inner corner of your eye to the outer corner.
Next step apply a lighter pink then before right above your crease. Just to help fade the color out a bit and plus I really like these colors together :p Then take a pearly white color and apply right on your brow bone. Blend the white and the pink together.
Next take a felt tip eyeliner and draw your line. Start in the middle and wing out the ends. The best advice I have for this is have eye makeup remover right at hand to tweak the line if it isn't what you want. Practice makes perfect ;) I start with the felt tip because it easier to whip away then liquid eyeliner. It is a lot easier to work with as well. We will go over the line with a liquid eyeliner in a bit but first apply your eyelashes.
First apply mascara to your own top and bottom eyelashes to help with the look of thick and full eyelashes. Then apply your lashes, I am using MAC's eyelashes. Take your glue and apply a thin strip across the lashes then wait 30 seconds to dry. I am using MAC's glue which is really amazing and sticky so your eyelashes stay in place! Press the eyelashes to the middle of your eye and lightly tap the eyelashes across your eye. After you get the lashes on keep your eyes slightly closed for a few minutes. So that the eyelashes stay in place.
After you have your eyelashes in place, take a liquid eyeliner and trace over the line. Make sure you go right over the eyelashes so your line looks more defined. Next take a white eyeliner and line your waterline. This helps brighten up your eyes a bit.
For your cheeks take a light pink and apply it right on the apple of your cheeks. Then take Benefit's High Beam and apply that right above the apples of your cheeks and on your cupids bpow (right above your lip)
For the finishing touch your lips, if you are going on a date for Valentine's Day you have to have super kissable lips. So first take your lip balm my favorite is EOS and apply it on your lips. Then take your lip stick in this case use a super light pink color. Then take a tissue and dab your lips with it to get most of it off. And voila! Because your boyfriend/husband does not want to kiss you and have a lipstick taste in his mouth :p Dabbing the color keeps your lip color but not too much for kissing :)
Fix your hair and put on a cute outfit and DONE! :D You're ready! ;)
