Valentine's Makeup Tutorial!

If you're in a relationship, Valentine's Day is a sweet, romantic, loving day, filled with laughter and hugs. But it could also be stressful, because of the obsession, that the day should be perfect. Perfect date, gift, outfit, makeup...

If you're single, there are two ways you can go. You can either stay at home, with a great chick flick, tissues and lots of chocolate, or you can put on your favorite, most sexy dress, great pumps, get your single girlfriends and go out, to show them what they're missing!

Both, single and taken, though, need a makeup look, that is flawless and eye-catching.

That's what I'm gonna show you step by step, in this tutorial.

1. Put on your favorite foundation, concealer and powder, to create the perfect base for your makeup.

 You can also contour and highlight, following the tips I gave you in the "Makeup Tips based on your Face Shape" post.

2. If you want, you can fill in your eyebrows with a matte brown eyeshadow, that almost matches your hair color. This step will give more definition to your features.

3. Take a light pink (matte or sparkly) eyeshadow and cover the whole lid and crease.

4. Take a rose gold or copper gold shadow and cover the outer 1/3 of your eyelid, up to the crease.

5. With a black coal eyeliner line the upper waterline and 2/3 of the lower waterline.

6. With a black liquid eyeliner create a cat eye. Start from the inner corner of the eye, go all the way out and create a tip, that you will then connect to your basic line. You can do this as thin or as thick as you prefer, but try to keep it subtle.

If you're not comfortable using liquid eyeliners, your can use your coal liner. Sharpen it well, so that you'll be able to get more detail.

7. Curl your lashes and add a lengthening and volumizing mascara.

8. Add some natural pink blush.

9. It's time for the lips!

a) If you're "taken" and preparing for a date, put on some tinted lip balm, in a natural light pink color.

b) If you're single, put on your favorite bright red or fuchsia lipstick and some lip gloss to give it a shiny finish.
