To celebrate Valentine’s Day with that very special someone, the make up look you should go for is “ROMANTIC”

This is an easy one to create and with a little practice you can look beautiful and sexy.

The key is to keep the look soft. Use sheer, muted colors and avoid overdoing any one area of your face. This is not the time to play up eyes and do a neutral mouth. The romantic look has all the features, eyes and lips, equally neutral.

There are lots of sheer, beautiful pinks at the cosmetics counter that look wonderful on all skin tones, whether you have pale white or deep brown skin. If you could buy only one new product for your updated, fresh romantic look, make it a pink lip gloss. I like the Glossimers, these are glosses that have sparkles of gold or silver in them . They look gorgeous and fantastic on everyone.

To create the face: Curl your lashes and apply either black or brown mascara. (Make sure you don’t use too much.) After you’ve prepared you face apply your foundation. Make sure this is a light and sheer textured one as opposed to one that looks matte and gives a heavier coverage.

Softly contour you cheeks with a very pale, sheer pink blush placing it just on your cheekbones. Again, keep it light. You just want an accent of a neutral pink to give your face a lift. TIP: (Dip your blush brush lightly into the color then tap it off before applying it gently to your face.) Add the gloss to your lips a spray of your most romantic perfume and you‘re done!
