Be My Valentine Series 3 – Date Night

Today I’ve got a great post demonstrating various looks that can be altered in different ways to appeal to everyone. Keep reading for ideas on what to do if you’re heading out this Valentines day or any romantic evening for that matter!

Before we begin, I’d like to say a special thank you to my husband, Valentine and photographer Mark Gangasingh of Visual Storytelling, and also my wonderful model Vielka Salvador.

CUTE & GIRLY

This look was very simple to do and included the following:

  • On the eyes – I applied Urban Decay’s Naked Palette 1 shadows in Naked and Buck; Maybelline New York Great Lash mascara in Black
  • Eyebrows – Anastasia Beverly Hills brow powder in Taupe and MAC eyebrow pencil in Spiked
  • Face – Sacha Cosmetics Kamaflage foundation in Perfect Caramel and setting powder in Perfectly Translucent
  • Lips – Revlon’s Matte Super Lustrous lipstick in Sky Pink and L’Oreal’s Infallible 6 HR Never Fail Lipgloss in Blush
  • Cheeks – Sacha Cosmetic Perfectly Pink blush and Makeup Forever dark brown contour powder

SMOKEY SOFT

This look was a variation of the first, and was achieved by making the following changes:

  • On the eyes – Urban Decay Naked 1 Palette shadows in the colours Naked, Creep and Gunmetal ; Makeup Geek shadow in Corrupt; false lashes and an additional coat of Maybelline New York’s Great Lash mascara in Black
  • Cheeks – I deepened the contour in the hollow of the cheeks using MAC’s bronzing powder in Matte Bronze
  • Lips – The pink lipstick was removed and I simply added a bit of L’Oreal’s Infallible 6 HR Never Fail Lipgloss in Blush

SIMPLY CHIC

This look is a bit more daring and was achieved by making the following changes:

  • Eyes – all of the eyeshadow was removed and I drew a thin line near the lashes using Stila Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in the colour Black, on the water line I applied Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in the colour Perversion and then applied more of the Maybelline New York Great Lash mascara in Black
  • Cheeks – I deepened the contour in the hollow of the cheeks using MAC’s bronzing powder in Matte Bronze
  • Lips – MAC lip liner in Mahogany, Sephora Cream Lip Stain in #03 Strawberry Kissed and on top of that, MAC’s Lip Conditioner in clear

GLAMOUR GIRL

For this last look, we did the following:

  • Eyes – I applied Urban Decay Naked Palette 1 shadows in Naked, Buck, Creep and Gunmetal as well as an additional coat of Maybelline’s New York Great Lash mascara in Black
  • Lips – On top of the Sephora cream lip stain I applied L’Oreal 8 HR Infallible Legloss in #315 Rebel Red
