Simple Valentine’s Day Makeup 2021

Valentine’s Day is next Sunday and while most of us can’t go out and celebrate, we can still dress up, have fun and play with some pretty makeup! This simple Valentine’s Day makeup look is quick and easy to do and perfect for if you’re going out on a walk or having a virtual date.

Base

• First I used the Estee Lauder Mattifier and Shine Control Primer to get a smooth, matte base. As have combination skin this primer is perfect for me!
• I then applied the Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer under my eye area and on any noticeable blemishes.
• Next, I applied the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation using a Spectrum B02 brush.
• To set everything in place I applied the RCMA No Colour Powder.

Eyes

• I first filled in and shaped my brows using the KVD Beauty Super Brow pomade in the shade Blonde.
• Then taking a small eyeliner brush, I used the shade Milkshake from the Beauty Bay New Romantic palette to create a graphic liner style shape.
• I then blended this out and diffused the edges with a small fluffy brush so it didn’t look so harsh.
• Then I filled in the centre of my lid using the shade Chintz from the Beauty Bay New Romantic palette.
• To finish off I applied some of the Benefit BADgal BANG mascara to my top and bottom lashes.

Contour, Blush, Highlight

• To contour and bronze up my face a bit, I used the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Bronzer in the shade 3 Medium.
• I then used the Hourglass Ambient Light Blush in the shade Luminous Flush which is a lovely subtle pink shade, perfect for Valentine’s Day and spring.
• Lastly, to highlight I used the Spectrum Collection Moonlight Highlighter.

Lips

• As this is a Valentine’s Day look, I wanted to use the pinkest lipstick I own to complement the eye look. So, I went for the Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G lipstick in Velvet Underground.
