10 make-up tips to keep in mind for Valentine's Day


Valentine's day is just around the corner!  

It doesn't matter if you're spending the night with your girl friends or with that special someone, keep these 10 tips in mind and for sure you'll be the spot light for the whole night!



1.  Foundation Primer. 
Apply foundation primer (USA Link) to even skin tone and help foundation to stay put all night long. 

2.  Use concealer.
Apply concealer (USA Link)where required, especially under the eyes and side of the nose.
Apply concealer before applying foundation to keep the foundation light and flawless. 

3.  One shade lighter concealer under the eyes. 
Apply a lighter shade of concealer (USA Link)under the eyes. 
Your eyes will pop and you will look fresh the whole night out!

4.  Focus on the lashes. 
Apply coats of mascara to add volume to the lashes.  
Follow with a separating and lengthening mascara (USA Link)to open up the eyes. 

Stay with smudge-proof liners to avoid looking like a tired panda. 

6.  Stay away from lip gloss.  
Lip gloss is sexy but imagine kissing on sticky lips.  Guys do not like kissing lip gloss. 
Stay with lip stick, or even try dabbing on lipstick (USA Link) with your finger for a lip stain effect. 

7.  Highlight 
Use a highlighting powder (USA Link) (or a face powder that is a shade lighter than your natural colour) and highlight the centre of the forehead, bridge of the nose, chin and underneath the eyes. 
By highlighting, you can achieve that beautiful and defined look but still staying easy on the makeup.

8.  Fake eye lashes
If you are using fake eye lashes (USA Link), be sure to curl your lashes (USA Link)before applying the fake lashes and put a coat of mascara (USA Link)after application to combine your real lashes together with the fake lashes. 

9.  Set your makeup with a makeup setting spray. 
Set your makeup with a makeup setting spray (USA Link) to avoid touching up in front of your special someone on such a romantic night! 

10.  Be confident!  
Makeup accentuates your natural beauty.  Stay confident and you will glow!
