VALENTINES DAY GLAM

This post is a make up look I've been wearing a lot recently inspired by Valentine's Day. Wether you're out with the girls or you're lucky enough to have a date, I think that this look is perfect for the 14th of February or any other day you fancy rocking some pink make up.

I firstly prepped my skin with MAC's Strobe Cream to create a glowing base for my foundation to sit on. I've used L'Oreal Paris' True Match Foundation (2.N Vanilla) and applied it with a stippling brush. To attempt to conceal that awful under-eye area I used LA Girl Pro Conceal in GC969 Porcelain. I also used this on my nose, forehead and chin. 

Next up I've taken my Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Luminous Light to set my concealer and also create a glowing from within look. I think a glowing face looks healthy and radiant, but it's also a very popular look at the moment. I only used Benefit's Gimme Brow through my brows as I wanted to keep them as natural as possible without having that 'drawn on' look. 

For cheeks I used a NARS blush from the Christopher Kane Collection in Starscape as it's a neon neutral. It may look scary in the pan but with a light hand it's a beautiful wash of colour on the cheeks. For highlight I've used Kiko's Water eyeshadow in 208 to create a golden glow across the tops of my cheekbones and on my cupids bow. I bronzed up with Laura Mercier's Matte Radiance Baked Powder in Bronze 03. 

For eyes I went with a soft pink look with not too much going on. I applied L'Oreal's Colour Riche eyeshadow in 104 La Vie En Rose all over and in the crease. I then applied L'Oreal's Colour Riche eyeshadow in 206 Little Beige Dress just in the inner corner and a Bellápierre pigment in Earth on the outer corner of the lid. I then curled my lashes and applied Magnifibres Treatment/ Primer on my lashes followed by Benefit's They're Real mascara. I didn't apply this on the lower lash line as I didn't want to close off the eye, this makes them look bigger.

Last but not least I've just applied MAC's Lipstick in Angel on the lips to complete the look.

Thanks,
