Quick 'n dirty Valentine's look.

I hate Valentine's Day. Seriously, my best friend and I used to sit there and watch horror movie reruns on Valentine's day. Our ideal Valentine's date was Freddy Kruger xD


The Pook, however, insists on celebrating Valentine's day >_> I got him to compromise after last year's dinner disaster, and since this year's February 14th also happens to be Lunar/Chinese New Year, there's even more excuse to stay at home xD.
This one is for you ladies who will be dolling up. A pink based look, keeping it simple and sweet.



Products used:

  • MAC Fafi Eyes Quad 1 
  • MAC Mineralised Skin Finish in Light Medium
  • L'Oreal Lineur Intense liquid liner in Black
  • NYX eye/eyebrown pencil in Dark Brown
  • MAC lipstick in Myself

  • The Body Shop blush in Roseflower
  • Formula D concealer (Thanks Dao!!)

Directions:
  • Prime skin, apply foundation, conceal if necessary and set foundation with MAC MSF;
  • Prime eyelids with UDPP;
  • Line a winged cat eye;
  • Curl natural lashes, and apply false lashes;
  • Fill in brows;
  • Using a flat brush, pat Hey! (golden beige pearl) over the entire lid area up to your crease;
  • Using a pencil brush, apply Pink Venus (pink shimmer) onto crease and bring down into outer corner;
  • Highlight highest point under brow with Vanilla (off white matte);
  • Using a fluffy brush, lightly blend the edges of the shadows using an upward motion;
  • Line outer1/2 of lower lash line with a dark brown pencil;
  • Apply mascara to lower lashes only;
  • Apply Roseflower blush (light pink) to apples of cheeks;

  8. Hahaha, Freddy!! LOL I've never seen that movie yet.

    Wow, such a pretty look! I wish I had skills like you. I like how natural you make it look.

    Hm, well I don't use the HD powder all over my face since I'd probably breathe it in while trying to swirl the brush in the product (plus I personally don't think it's all that great as an all over powder since it leaves my face too matte without some glow). I only use it under my eyes after concealer with a cosmetic wedge. It works great to set it and stop it from creasing!
