Valentine's Day Make-Up: Two Ways

by - 4:57 PM

With date make-up, you can go either of two ways: fresh and au naturel or striking and sultry. Whichever you choose, I've got you covered! Follow these simple steps for an easy, make-up look that's perfect for some 1-on-1 time with your special someone, a get-together with your best girlfriends, or even just some alone time to recharge and relax

Fresh and Au Naturel
Key elements: Even, glowy skin, natural brows, fluttery lashes, rosy flush
  1. Blend a light-to-medium coverage foundation or BB cream on to your face; set with powder as needed.
  2. Shape your brows and fill them in naturally with your brow product of choice (Tip: Go with a brow pencil for a more natural look. Your brow pencil should 1-2 shades lighter than your hair color)
  3. Curl your lashes and apply a coat or two of your favorite mascara (Tip: A waterproof formula holds up a curl better while ensuring a smudge-proof, worry-free wear)
  4. Swipe on a peachy-pink lipstick on your lips and double this up as a cream blush. Use your fingers to blend out the product on your cheeks for a natural, dewy finish.
  5. Apply a subtle highlight on to your cheekbones. (Tip: Skip this step if you have naturally oily skin)

Striking and Sultry
Key elements: Perfected skin, chiseled face, structured brows, defined eyes, bold lip

  1. Blend a medium-to-full coverage foundation on to your face and apply concealer in areas where extra coverage is desired. Set with powder as needed.
  2. Contour your face: below the cheekbones, around the temples and jawline, and down the bridge of your nose.
  3. Shape your brows and fill them in with your brow product of choice. Since we will be going bold on the lip, fill your brows in a little heavier than you normally would.
  4. Line your eyes, curl your lashes, and apply two coats of a volumizing mascara. (Tip: Tightlining your waterline instead of lining your eyes is a great alternative for those who prefer a more subtle effect)
  5. Apply your favorite bold lip color. Red is a classic, and is guaranteed to go with any outfit you choose! (Tip: To mattify your lipstick and make it smudge-proof, blot your lips on to a tissue and dab some loose powder on to them.)
L-R: L'Oreal Color Riche Lipstick, Max Factor Face Finity Foundation, banila co. mascara (all available on ZALORA PH)
