Natural Valentine’s Day Makeup

Can you feel the romance in the air? You have just accepted an invitation for a Valentine’s Day date from your crush and are anxiously awaiting the enchanting evening to arrive. Question is: how should you do your makeup? Should you look sultry with smoky eyes, try something sexy with raven lips, or flush your cheeks with lovely pink? Perhaps you should give natural makeup a try? After all, you want to look like yourself on such an important date.

Taupe Eyes

Taupe consists of a mixture of brown and gray. They are both muted colors that flatter any skin tone. Therefore, taupe is universally flattering and easy on the eye. Try going for a taupe with a bit of shimmer and sweeping it all over your lids. Then line your eyes with a dark liner and pile on the mascara.

Peachy Cheeks

Peach offers a natural shade that is both gorgeous and flirty. For Valentine’s Day, you’ll want to flirt a little. Go for a peach blush with just a hint of sheen to let your skin subtly glow.

Glossy Lips

Shiny, glossy lips are always right for night. To look natural, stay away from hyper-pigmented gloss. Opt for subtle colors like nude, coffee or even a clear gloss. Make sure the product you use is super moisturizing, because you don’t want your lips dry and chapped at the end of the night. After all, a great Valentine’s date requires kissable lips.
