Sweet Valentine Makeup

I've decided to make two Valentine's Day makeup looks this time. By no means, is this look only appropriate for Valentine's Day dates. It's just sort of themed this way, because pinks and purples usually remind me of something romantic. This first look is a bit more subtle and softer version that I would rock to any occasion. There's more emphasis on the eyes, which to me are one of the features that you want to play up when having a flirty date. 


I started my eye makeup with eyeshadow primer and a bone colored matte shade all over the lid. As always, I wanted brown crease so I went in the crease with a very light warm matte brown. I darkened it a bit with a more neutral medium matte brown. Then I used matte chocolate brown and defined outer corner of the eye.


On the lid I applied a mixture of shimmery golden pink and shimmery cranberry pink. Because it was a bit too understated, I went in with more of that cranberry pink and deepened it a bit. I went for a winged liner look with a gel like black pencil. For a softer line, I also went over it with a matte black eyeshadow and kind of smoked it out on the edges. I used the same matte shades on the lower lash line.


For a really defined wing, I recommend using concealer under the line to sharpen it and make it look cleaner. I also applied beige golden highlighter on the inner corners. Because I don't love the feel of full falsies, I went for half false eyelashes that I only applied on the outer half of the lid to give me even more winged out look. I also applied mascara on my natural lashes.



On my face I used dewy BB cream mixed with a moisturizing lightweight foundation for a natural finish. I also powdered a bit with a loose powder and applied a bit of bronzer and contour to my cheeks. But I kept it all very natural and subtle. I also used a lot of light shimmery bronzer to make the skin look fresher and give it a nice glow. I used light mauve shade as a blush to keep it in natural theme. 

Because it's all about the soft warm eyes, I used pigmented mauve pink shade of lip gloss on the lips to make them plump and keep it looking like your lips but better.

Soft colorful fall makeup

Hey Beauties!

Today's makeup is a soft colorful version of the beautiful colors of fall on the eyes. Fall is amazing this year. Warm weather and beautiful colors. I wish every fall would be like that.


As a base I used taupe cream eyeshadow. I used taupe mixed with brown in the crease. Then I added violet based black in the corner of the eye.


I used cranberry eyeshadow in the outer part of the lid and in the inner part. Then I added copper shade a little bit towards the center of the lid. At the center or more on the inner side of the center, I finished with light gold shade.


I repeated the same process of putting on the shades around the lower lash line. Of course my look wouldn't be anything without a little winged eyeliner.


And lots of volumizing mascara.


On the face I repeated my everyday routine. Foundation, concealer, powder, bronzer, golden highlighter and brick based blush. I used light pink red lipstick just to smudge it all over my lips as a light stain.



It's a subtle use of colors, that is still very day appropriate. Plus the shimmery shades will make a beautiful shine on your eyes on those sunny warm fall days. Very simple makeup with a little bit of color.
