Whether you love it or hate it, Valentine’s Day is going to happen this Friday. You need to be prepared, and we think you should start with the face. It doesn’t matter if you’re going on an extravagant date or if you’re just hanging out with friends; we all want to look put together on V-Day, right? We’ve got a few tips and tricks for you to look your best on Friday night:
- Don’t be afraid to wear pink on the eyelid. A soft sweep of pale pink shadow will amp up the girly vibe in your look. Blend a slightly darker pink into your crease for some dimenson (you can use a blush for this).
- Pump up the volume on those lashes. With such soft eyes, you need to have dramatic lashes to balance out the look. Pick out a black, volumizing mascara to give your lashes the boost they need for a flirty gaze in someone special’s direction.
- Keep your cheeks glowy. Skip the powder on your cheeks and add a highlighting powder to the tops of your cheekbones. Don’t use too much product; a little goes a long way with this stuff.
- Pucker up with pink lips. Match your girly pink eyeshadow with a creamy, pink lipstick or gloss. A nude is best to keep the look toned down, but you can totally go for a brighter pink if you’re feeling daring.
