Soft Pink Valentine's Day Makeup Tutorial

Step 1. After prepping the eye area with a base (I used Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Shadow in Shore), line the upper lashline with Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero.

Step 2. Before the eyeliner sets, smudge it with NARS Lhasa Eyeshadow to soften the look.

Step 3. Using a fluffy brush like MAC #217 Blending Brush, sweep the medium pink eyeshadow from NARS Douce France Trio Eyeshadow onto the eyelid. Blend past the crease.

    I like this a lot. I don’t prefer VDay looks that scream pink and red, this understated pretty is quite lovely.

    Hi!! I found this site by accident, and I’m already hooked!! I’m only 14 but these tutorials make it super easy to follow and create GORGEOUS looks! I was wondering how old you are ( a little strange I know) but only because you look so young. :P love this look in particular, can’t wait till my boyfriend sees it on V-day!! Good job!

      Thanks Bella :) If you’re looking for natural-looking fake eyelashes, I highly recommend Ardell or the 700 series from Jealousness. You can get them at my store (http://makeupforher.com).
