3 ROMANTIC VALENTINE’S DAY MAKEUP LOOKS

It’s hard not to fall for Valentine’s makeup. Whatever your plans for the day may be, flirty, fluttery lashes, romantic red lipstick and a first-love flush are always alluring. Whether you’re staying in or going out, get ready to experiment with three of the dreamiest looks. And, remember: they’re not just for date night. These trends will have you head over heels every day…

1. CLASSIC VALENTINE’S MAKEUP

A neutral smokey eye and kiss proof red lipstick are the perfect match for a fool-proof Valentine’s makeup look.

Make your eyes sparkle with the Masterpiece Nudes Palette in Golden Nudes. Apply the lightest shade to the inside corner of your eyes for an eye-opening effect, the darker brown shade to the outer corners to give the illusion of longer-looking lashes. Finish with the golden shade in the centre of your lid to bring out your eye colour. Then apply Divine Lashes Mascara for a fluttery lash look.

For lipstick that lasts all day and night, apply Lipfinity Lip Colour in So Glamorous, wait 30 seconds for it to dry (keeping your lips apart) and apply the hydrating top-coat to lock in the formula.

2. MODERN VALENTINE’S MAKEUP

Pair full-volume lashes and a winged black eyeliner for a ‘can’t-take-my-eyes-off-you’ Valentine’s makeup look.

Masterpiece Matte Liquid Eyeliner is a Waterproof formula – for intense black pigment that won’t smudge. Line up the outer corners of your wing with the tail end of your eyebrow, for a cat-eye effect.

Next, frame your eyes using 2000 Calorie Pro Stylist mascara, making sure to place the mascara wand right at the root of lashes for an extra lift. For extra volume, zig-zag the brush from root to tip to separate, then hold the mascara wand at the tip of lashes for a few seconds to lock in the curled effect. Define brows with the 2000 Calorie Brow Sculpt Gel, brushing brows up for a lifted look. Finally glide on Colour Elixir Velvet Matte in Dusk and a touch of 2000 Calorie Lip Glaze in Caramel Swish for an injection of shine.

3. WHIMSICAL VALENTINE’S MAKEUP

A twist on a classic Valentine’s makeup look, a romantic Lavender-hued eyeshadow look that makes brown eyes in particular, sparkle. The buttery formula of the Colour Xpert Eyeshadow Palette blends with just the tip of a finger. Using the palette ‘Crushed Blooms’, apply the lightest lilac shade all over the base of your lid. Take the third darkest shade across the top of your eye socket and the outer corners and blend out. Line your upper and bottom lash line with the dark plum shade to intensify the look. Finally make your eyes pop by applying the glittery pink champagne shade on the inner corners of your eyes and the excess along your brow bone. Balance out the lilac hues with a pink-toned nude lip look with a dab of the 2000 Calorie Lip Glaze in Floral Cream.
