It’s that time of the year, let’s plan our makeup looks for Valentine’s Day.
Whether you go out on a romantic dinner or opt for a cosy stay in, it’s a good feeling when you put in an effort to pretty yourself up!
We put together two looks depending on your mood and the time you have on hand to get ready and celebrate love!
Prep the face
We like to present our best, brightest face and nothing brings out our inner glow as best as Brighten Up Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator. It is our best-seller for a reason. Always start your preparations a night before. With micro-crystals, papaya enzymes and soothing aloe extract, Brighten Up scrubs away dead skin cells and debris from the skin’s surface to reveal brighter, smoother skin.
Show some love to your skin with our new Age is Only a Number Elixir, it’s a powerful serum and face oil in one, power-packed with active ingredients to revive the skin.
Follow up with some Eye Wonder Triple Action Peptide Eye Cream to smooth out fine lines, address puffiness and dark circles under the eyes.
When you wake up in the morning you will find that you look well-rested and ready to be at your prettiest!
Ready In Three Minutes
If you are short on time, jump right onto highlighting and concealing with Instant Pick Me Up, our brightening colour corrector.
Next dab some cream colour on the cheeks. A cream formula is easy to apply and lends a healthy sheen to the skin, making your face come alive. We like our Lip and Cheek Colour Pods for their long-lasting colour as well as moisturizing ingredients.
Kajal Extreme Intense Eye Pencil comes with a smudger at the other end. Line your eyes, in black, or choose from one of the colours and smudge it out for instant eye makeup. It's a creamy formula but will not smugde or smear once set!
Apply lashings of mascara to the lashes, making sure you get as close to the roots as possible. This gives the illusion of a very finely lined eye too.
Finally finish off with a bright lip colour, our Love Brights come in eight gorgeous colours that flatter all complexions. There’s one perfect ‘Love’ for you in our lineup!
That’s it. Ready and out the door in under five minutes!
Ready in 30 Minutes
If you want to spend some more time, here’s how to start.
Use our All Star Face and Eye Primer to get the skin ready for a long night out. Then use Liquid Cover Up, in a shade closest to your own complexion and blend it into the skin. You can go sheer or build up coverage with this oil-free formula, it will not look cakey.
Move onto the eyes and use one of our Silky Eyeshadow Duos to amp up the drama. Let your eyes do the talking!
Forbidden City is a duo perfect for sultry, smokey looks, while Notre Dame looks subtle and sexy at the same time.
With the Kajal Extreme Intense Eye Pencil, line the eyes and finish off with our Eye Smile Mascara. It lengthens, gives volume and defines the lashes in one smooth coat.
We find cream blushes to wear longer and more beautifully in this cold weather. Choose from one of our Luminous Cream Blushes and blend them onto the apples of your cheeks, moving upwards towards the temples.
Follow up with a glow worthy of the Red Carpet. See The Light Powder Highlighter in Golden Child has been a hit with makeup artists. It is finely milled powder with butter soft texture that pops up cheekbones and adds instant polish to your makeup in no time. Mix it with a bit of foundation and blend some glow on the top of your cheekbones, on the bridge of your nose and under the browbone.
And again, the perfect ode to love would be a swipe of our Love Brights Gel Matte lipsticks. Matte lips are all the rage this season, and our lipsticks are in a revolutionary formula that uses a gel base instead of a drying waxy one. The colours are long-lasting, wear off beautifully into a stain and never dry your lips.
Spritz on some perfume and apply some hand cream, you are ready to head out and turn heads!
Have a Happy Valentine!
