a celebration: will you be my valentine? daytime edition.





Alright, so its around the corner. And by it, I mean Valentine's Day. Whether you have special date or plans with your closest friends, take this opportunity to play with your makeup! This look is a fresh, natural and flirty look. I created this with a daytime date in mind. Every man wants a woman who looks like they are glowing from with-in, without looking overdone. If you have the Lorac Unzipped palette (which I used) or the new Naked 3 palette, you will be set up perfectly to achieve this rose gold look. However, this can still be used with other products in your own collection! Make it work girl!


the eyes:

-As always, start with priming your eyelids to make sure your eyeshadow lasts all day. (Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer)
-Start by packing a light shimmery rose color all over the lid. (Lorac #Unreal)
-Then apply a slightly deeper shimmery rose shadow on the outer two thirds of the lid. (Lorac #Unbelieveable)
-Blend a matte rose colored shadow through your crease with a fluffy brush to soften the edges of the shimmery shadows and provide a transition color to the brow bone. (Lorac #Unconditional)
-To deepen and further accentuate the crease, blend a deep plum color through the socket concentrating directly in the crease. (Lorac #Unbridled)
-Next, highlight the inner tear duct with a shimmery pale pink shadow. (Lorac #Undercover)
-Then, accentuate the brow bone by packing on a matte shadow a few shades lighter than your skin tone directly under the brow. (NYX Nude Matte Shadow #I Have A Headache)
-Tightline the upper lashes with a dark brown liner pencil, and line the water line. (Jordana 12hr Made to Last Liquid Eyeliner Pencil #Espresso Last)
-With a flat definer brush, tightly line the lower lash line with the darker shimmery rose shadow. (Lorac #Unbelievable)
-Blend that out slightly using the matte rose shadow. (Lorac #Unconditional)
-Don't forget to coat your lashes with your favorite mascara. (Lorac Pro Mascara)
-Finish the look off by applying really flirty lashes... these are my favorites! (Ardel Naturals #Scanties)
