Valentine’s Day Makeup Tips
Valentine's Day is the perfect holiday
to experiment with your look and to impress your true love. Whether you are
hitting the town or spending a romantic evening in, looking your best is the
key to a beautiful night. Your makeup should be fun and flawless with an
emphasis on natural beauty... the same beauty he fell in love with.
Eyes
To get a flirty winged eye, you
don't need to apply liquid liner. Instead, use black eye shadow. Place an
adhesive note on the outer corner of the eye at the desired angle. Then, using
a flat eyeliner brush, sweep black eye shadow along the edge of the note; the
paper serves as a stencil. Remove it to reveal a soft and sexy eye. If black
eye shadow is too harsh for you, try a gray or cocoa shadow instead.
For instant glamour, try false
lashes. A lash that adds length to the outer corner will reinforce the look of
the winged eye. Look for lashes with a very thin band; they will be easier to
apply and more comfortable to wear. If you want to fake it without the work,
try L’Oreal Voluminous False
Fiber Lashes. This mascara has a blend of long
and short nylon and rayon fibers (the same materials used for false lashes) to
help create a fuller appearance.
Cheeks
To create a high, sexy cheekbone,
apply bronzer or a taupe eye shadow to the hollows of your cheeks. This creates
a shadow, giving a more contoured look. Then, add color to the apples of your
cheeks (the areas where you would naturally flush).
Skin
Choose a loose iridescent powder that
matches your natural skin tone for a romantic glow. If you have a darker
complexion, choose a golden powder. To avoid shine, don't apply the powder over
wrinkles, acne, or other imperfections. Apply it only to the smoothest parts of
your skin to highlight your best features.
Lips
To prevent messy smears (and stay kissable on Valentine’s Day), choose a long-lasting lip formula. Try SeneGence's LipSense in
Blu-Red, a favorite of Christina
Aguilera's. It’s a semipermanent lip stain that will last up to 18 hours.
For the best results, pick a shade
of red that’s the opposite of your skin tone to avoid looking muddy. If you
have a warm complexion (golden or olive skin tones), choose a color with a cool
or blue undertone. If you have cool or pink undertones to your skin, choose a
lipstick with a warm or orange undertone.

same beauty he fell in love with ;) "
