Valentine's Love...


Seeing as we have entered the month of love I decided to do a look that could be worn for the special day.
It is a simple look that is very versatile, will suit anyone and is not too much for the date with that special person whomever they may be.

So whether its for a fancy date with your babe 
or a dinner with your girls (for the single ladies) out there this
 is one that can be recreated easily.

I apologise in advance for the crappy picture quality and random backgrounds. I was trying to find the best lighting *covers eyes*.





To create this look:
1) I primed my face then filled in my eyebrows
2) I them Primed my eyelid with Urban Decay potion primer and applied
NYX Milk Jumbo pencil and blended it in
3) I then used my brown eyeshadow (1) as my transition colour just above my crease.
4) I then took my MAC Woodwinked (2) and used it on the center and inner corner of my eyelid.
4) I went back in with my transition colour to blend out any visible harsh lines.
5) In my crease I used MAC Embark (3), but not too much. Just to add some colour and add dimension.
6) I went back in with my blending brush again to targed any harsh/blunt lines before applying the pretty deep shimmer red from my Sleek Sunset pallette (4) to the outer V of my lids.
7) then finally i added a tiny bit of the Black from my Inglot pallette (5) to the outer v too again just with a light hand.
8) I then Highlighted under my brows with Ricepaper (6)
9) To complete the eyes I done alot of blending, added Lashes that I bought on Ebay and also eyeliner. 
10) It all came together by applying my Lancome foundation, concealer, Mineralize Powder in Dark, Blush in Raizin and highlighted the rest of my face.

 So I first done the look with a Nude lip with MACs Yash (matte) lipstick and NYX Nutmeg lipliner but also gave alternatives depending on tastes and how dark you dare to go....

Yash + NYX Nutmeg                                 MAC Strong Woman + NYX Deep
                             Liner                                                        Purple Liner

                   Inglot 175 + NYX Deep Purple Liner                MAC Viva Glam I + MAC Beet


I hope you like the look and let me know what you look you will be doing for your V.day.
Whatever you do, stay safe and have fun with the one/s you love.

Colour Me Beautiful x
