Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and whether you have somewhere to be or just want to look nice; this look will be perfect! The eye colors are pinks and purples to help make the eyes pop. When thinking of this holiday, you may think of a red lip or a nude lip, either one can be paired with this makeup.
Prior to the video I had already finished my eyebrows and foundation and went right into the look.
When doing eyeshadow make sure to put a light shadow down first for easier blending. A tip to help draw attention to the eyes is to add a sparkle shadow in the tear duct and inner corner of the eye.
The eyeshadow palette that I had used has really good pigment so the colors will last all night.
Do not be afraid to go bold with the lips! A red lip looks great with this look, but do not be scared to rock it.
When putting on a bold colored lip use a lip brush on the edges or line this lips with the same lipstick color. Personally I do not like lip liner so I use the corners or the lipstick. If you make a mistake go in with concealer and clean up the mistakes.
Whatever your plans are for the night, do not forget to bring your lipstick for some touch ups; have fun when you are out!
The colors that I have used for the look were more flirty than neutral, feel free to use different colors. If you choose to go nude make sure to use the darkest color last.
If your evening consists of a fancy dinner, curled hair and a nice dress would be fantastic with this look.

You did a great job this look, it’s hard to get a good red lip color without overpowering your whole look.
