Get The Look: Valentine's Day Makeup





Hello and Happy Valentine's Day!  Today I did my make-up and I thought it was pretty cute for the occasion and could be used for day and night, so I'm going to share it with you. I will go through every step and tell you colors so if you don't have a specific eyeshadow, it is okay just use something similar.

Face


For my face I put on a face moisturizer and then because I've been sick and it is just so darn cold, I used Bobbi Brown's Tinted Moisturizing Balm in Medium (it is a little dark for me but it blends out well). Over top that, I put on Revlon's Colorstay Whipped Creme Makeup in 220 Nude. This is much more pigmented and the coverage is nice, plus their colors are right on!

Eyes


So here is the fun part! I put Sephora's Retro Powder Puff all over my lid and into my crease. You have to build it up but the color is a beautiful pink. In the crease I put the color African Violet from the Lingerie Palette by Laura Mercier, it is a gorgeous purple with gold shimmer. However, I wanted a little more depth so I took Garnet from the Lorac Pro palette (a.k.a my hands down favorite palette) and put that in the crease over top the African Violet.

I threw Pale Pink from the Lingerie Palette on my brow bone because it is a great color but it is also matte which takes the shimmer down a little. As an added hint of sparkle I went in with Gold and Nude from the Lorac Pro Palette and put them both in the center of my eyelid and blended.

After some Bobbi Brown Creamy Corrector in Light to Medium Bisque and the Concealer in Warm Ivory I used Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser in the Illuminator shade. I have terrible dark circle, most genetic, so I have to pile it on most days.


For eyeliner I used Stila's Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner in intense black on the lid and Stila's Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Damsel on the outer waterline. Finally, I applied Buxom Lash Mascara!

Cheeks


On my cheeks I used Tarte's Amazonian Clay Blush in DollFace - this perfect darker baby pink. Then just above that I dusted Too Faced's Candlelight Highlighter. I didn't feel like I needed bronzer and honestly, I don't want to pile on stuff all over my face.


I did put some translucent powder on but forgot to do it before I took the pictures...oops sorry!

Eyebrows


Finally, I used some brow powder by Anastasia in dark brown and a small brush to fill in my brows. I've been trying to grow them out for a while but I think they are due to get some TLC soon :)


So there you go! Again sorry for the shiny face, but there is always something I forget to do haha


What are your Valentine's Plans?
