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!
