A Classic Valentine's Day Makeup Look

  • 2 min read

BY CHELSEA SIMMONS

Valentine's Day is one of our favorite holidays. You may think it's a commercial holiday, and we agree. However, if you take away the expensive flowers, candy, and various other gifts, you're left with something truly beautiful, a celebration of the ones you love. So, whether you're staying in, going out or something in between, try this festive Valentine's Day makeup look to get you in the holiday spirit.

A Naturally Beautiful Valentine's Day Makeup Look

When creating a Valentine's Day makeup look, we love the idea of a simple bronze, smokey eye paired with a bold red lip. It's a fun spin on your traditional dark, smokey eye and red lip pairing. Here's how to get the look. Valentine's Day Makeup LookFirst, apply Glow Time Full Coverage BB Cream using the Blending Brush for a flawless finish. Then, layer PurePressed Base on top using the Handi Brush. This will help keep your foundation in place all day and night. Using your White Fan Brush, dust Mystique PurePressed Blush (or your favorite blush shade) on the apples of your cheeks, and use Moonglow Bronzer as a highlighter on your cheekbones. Recreate this eye shadow look using three products, Brown Silk Eye Shere Liquid Eye Shadow, the Naturally Matte Eye Shadow Kit, and 24-Karat Gold Dust. First, apply the Brown Silk Eye Shere to your entire eyelid as a primer. Then, use the Eye Shader Brush to apply the Eggplant shade from the Naturally Matte Eye Shadow Kit on top, blending up toward your brow bone. Use the Crease Brush to apply the Fudge shade to the outer corner of your eye. Then, add a hint of 24-Karat Gold Dust in the middle of your lid. Line your top and bottom lid with Basic Black Eye Pencil to complete your eye makeup. Create a festive Valentine's Day lip with Gwen PureMoist Lipstick. You can also tone down your lip with a nude shade like Craving Lip Fixation.
