The best Valentine’s Day make up looks
Make sure all eyes are on you this evening with three gorgeous looks to impress your date...
THE most romantic day of the year is finally here – it’s Valentine’s Day!
As women up and down the country get ready to paint the town red with their significant others, here are some make-up looks to ensure you get heads turning.
Sweet and Simple
Keep it natural this Valentine’s Day and focus on your complexion.
Start with clean, moisturised skin and apply a primer the blurs out any large pores.
Dust on a peachy-pink blusher with a large fluffy applicator to add warmth to your skin tone.
To enhance your natural glow, dot a little cream highlighter on the tops of your cheekbones, under your brow bone and in the centre of your lips for a little added fullness.
A glossy pink lipstick completes the look, with a slick of black mascara to open the eyes.
Glamorous Girl
Opt for a bold berry coloured lipstick this Valentine’s Day instead of a classic red to keep your look glam yet romantic.
Again, start your make up routine with a clean, moisturised and primed face.
Coat your upper lashes with multiple layers of black mascara for a fuller feel.
Dust on a little pink blusher to the apples of your cheeks, keeping the look subtle with just a pinch of warmth.
With all the emphasis for this look on the mouth area, be sure to soften chapped lips with a gentle lip scrub before painting on a deep pink shade of your choice with a lip brush for a sharp finish.
Sultry Goddess
Our final look combines the sexy smoky eye with a natural base.
This look is great if you want to emphasise your eyes – in the hopes that your date will be staring into them all night.
Clean and prime your face, and apply a medium coverage foundation.
Apply a shimmery caramel shade to your lids using an eyeshadow brush.
Then, deepen the crease by blending a warm chocolate shade to add that smokiness you have been lusting after.

Using black liquid liner, draw a thin line across the upper lid, flicking it out into a delicate cat eye.
Smudge a little black pencil eyeliner along the bottom lash line to emphasise the smoky effect.
To lengthen and thicken your lashes for added drama, swipe two to three coats of black mascara onto your upper lashes and a single coat on the lower ones.
Go translucent and glossy on your lips with a sheer berry lip tint to complete the look.
