Valentines Day Look

So it's that time of year again where everything 

is about Love and treating your partner to treats & trinkets.

However instead of being all lovey-dovey this year

I thought I'd buy my partner some "useful" manly presents.

(A portable beer backpack & a manly computer device)

- Just what a man needs right?

So anyway I thought I'd share this makeup & hair look

for the special day.

First up is the makeup. These are the colours I used for the eyes.

First apply a white/cream shadow to the inner corner of

your lid. This will open your eyes and make them look bigger.

I used my 'Sleek I-Divine' palette in 'Au Naturel' for this and used colour

'Nougat'.

Then apply a purple shadow over the rest of the lid. 

For this I wanted a brighter purple so I used a shadow from

a palette I got for Xmas (Sorry I don't know where it's from)

Then apply a darker purple over your lid 

blending it in.

For this I used 'Regal'.

Then apply a shimmery purple/plum colour onto 

the third of your lid and blend.

This colour is 'Conker'.

Then use a black or dark brown on the outer corners of your

lid and blend outwards. 

Then apply black eyeliner and mascara.

I used 'Benefit They're real' mascara.

Then you can apply false lashes if you want a more

dramatic look.

Then I used my 'Benefit Pore-fessional' Primer. 

Then apply your foundation & blusher/bronzer. 

I'm using Estee Lauder mixed with Loreal True Match

and Dior in number 849.

You can do any colour lip shade you want but I've selected 3

shades which I think go great with this look.

First for nude lips I used 'Rimmel Moisture Renew lipstick' in colour

'700 Nude Delight'. Then I used 'Benefit Her Glossiness'

lipgloss.

Shade 2 is a beautiful plumy colour which can be intense but

you can tone it down by blotting it with some tissue and add

a nude or brown shade over the top.

For this I used 'Rimmel Moisture Renew lipstick 

in colour 330 Sloane's Plum'.

And last but not least is the scary big red lips. 

This is quite a bright cherry red and I'm still not certain

whether I can get away with this or not?

But anyway this is 'Collection Lasting Colour in shade 1

Queen Of Hearts'. 

And then for the hair I just used my 'Babyliss Curl Secret'

curler (which I'll post a review off soon)

So that's it folks!

I hope you have a lovely Valentines Day!
