Valentine's Day Makeup | Day to Night
2/12/2017
I'm back!
And ready to show you my ideal Valentine's Day makeup…
I really
wanted to do a Valentine's Day post this year. However, I've been so busy
recently that I almost forgot to do one. I decided to create a Valentine's Day
makeup look and show you how to take it from day to night with just a few
steps. It's a really romantic look that's pretty easy to recreate and that will
look great in anyone.
For the
day time look I wanted something pretty soft and feminine. I started creating a
really flawless base. For that, I used the L'Oreal True Match Foundation and
the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer; to set everything I took my trusty Rimmel Stay
Matte Powder. Then I added a bit of colour to my skin with the Milk-Chocolate
Soleil Bronzer from Too Faced. For blush I used the Max Factor Cream Puff blush
in Seductive Pink and then I added a bit of the L'Oreal True Match Highlighter
in 202 on top.
Use
whatever products will help you create a really nice and flawless base; these
ones are the ones that work for me and that I know I can trust.
Now let's
talk about the eyes. First let's work on our brows: I used the Nyx Eyebrow
Pencil in Taupe and the Maybelline Brow Drama brow mascara to create a nice
natural brow.
As it is
Valentine's Day, I wanted to do something natural and rosy on my eyes and for
that I used the Naked 3 Palette from Urban Decay. I started by applying a
shadow stick from Kiko all over my eyelids as base and then blend it out. I
applied the shades Limit and Nooner from the Naked 3 Palette on my crease;
these two shades are perfect crease shades. I also applied these two shades to
my lower lash line for a bit of definition. To add a bit more shine to the
eyelids I applied Buzz to the centre of the eyes.
Now let's
move on to eyeliner; I just added a nice nude eyeliner to my waterline to open
my eyes and make me look more awake. Last, but not least, I curled my lashes
and applied my trusty Roller Lash Mascara from Benefit.
I did a
very nice nude lip. For that I used the MAC Lipliner in Soar (which has become
an absolute favourite) and the Nars Audacious Lipstick in Raquel on top. I also
think the Nars Velvet Lip Glide in Bound would look amazing with this look.
Now let's take this look from day to night.
If you
feel you need to add a bit more foundation or concealer now it's the time to do
it. My foundation lasted pretty well so what I did was add a bit of contouring
using the Maybelline Master Sculpt in Light to Medium. To make the face makeup
a bit more glowy and sexy, I applied the Mary-Lou Manizer from The Balm to the
tops of my cheekbones and my nose.
Now let's
transform the eyes. Apply Nooner to the crease again to make it a bit darker;
then apply Liar all over the eyelids. I decided to add a black eyeliner
(creating a really subtle wing) to define my eyes and then added some
individual lashes (I used duos and trios) to the outer half of the eyes. These
lashes from Eylure are amazing and really easy to apply, I truly recommend
them.
I'm going
to give you two different lip options. To keep this look a bit more natural, I
used the Mac Soar Lipliner and the Sephora Cream Lip Stains in Copper Blush
(number 23); these two create a nice dark nude colour which I love. For a more
dramatic look I took a red lip liner and the added the NYX Liquid Suede in
Cherry Skies on top; these tow create a nice dark red lip colour (you can also
apply any red lipstick you like).
And
that's all for today! Don't forget to show me your recreations on Twitter…
Happy
Valentine's, xoxo.
