Valentines Day look





Hi guys!
Since tomorrow is Valentines day, I thought it would be fun to show you a makeup look you could wear, even if you're not going out or doing anything fancy. It's nice to have an excuse to wear even more pink. ;)

I started out with E.l.f.'s eyelid primer to prevent creasing. Then I applied a matte white shade from Tarte's MATTEnificent palette (post all about it next!). I used my NARS blush in Desire as an eyeshadow and used my finger and lightly pat it on my eyelid. Then I took a fluffy brush and a medium brown matte eyeshadow and blended it out in the crease. Next I used the dark plum shade from the Tarte palette and popped it in the crease as well. With what was left on my brush, I blended it over the pink shade on my lid to tone it down.

After that, I took the medium brown shade I used earlier and put it under my bottom lashes, & did the same with the dark purple- focusing more on the outer edges.

I used a brown eyeliner from Revlon on my lids and blended it out for a smokey effect. I used a white eyeliner pencil for my bottom waterline to make my eyes pop.

For a highlight under the brow I used a cream concealer lighter than my skin tone. I curled my lashes, and added mascara and tada! That's it.

Here's a list of all the products I used:

L'oreal True Match Foundation in n2
