Sweet Dreams of Makeup: Valentine's Day Makeup Tutorial: Accentuate your eyes and lips

Hello! This is my first makeup tutorial! Yay! :D This is a beautiful look for a romantic evening with that special someone for Valentine's Day. I am a single lady, but I do have plans to have dinner with a friend. I couldn't decide if it would be more appropriate to draw focus to the eyes or to the mouth. Why not both? Your gent wont be able to take his eyes of your flirty cat eye and sexy red lip. If you want to get all dolled up I think this would be a perfect look for you! I would love to hear how your Valentine's Day goes. Please comment below!

Makeup I used...

Face

Moisturize with Origins VitaZing using foundation brush

Use the same foundation to apply DiorSkin Nude Natural Glow Hydrating Makeup

Cover any blemishes and dark circles using Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer

Eyes

Using MAC 211 brush apply Clinique's Brush on Cream Liner in Deep Brown to the top lash line. Try to get as close to the roots as possible

Pat on Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion to eye lids

With an angle brush fill in brows using Laura Mercier Brow Definer

Apply MAC Vanilla Eyeshadow all over lid and up to brow bone using MAC 217 Brush

Swipe Urban Decay's Sidecar eyeshadow and Half Baked eyeshadow on to same brush and apply all over lids, up into crease (I like to mix the two eyeshadows because I find using Sidecar makes your lids a little more neutral gold instead of in your face gold. If that makes sense)

Going back to the MAC 211 brush, flick out a cat eye using the same cream liner (Tip: This will take awhile if you're not use to doing it. I find it is easier when you always look ahead. This will help you achieve the same line on both eyes)

Using an angled brush dab a matte brown eyeshadow to the outer corner of bottom lashes. I used Urban Decay's eyeshadow in Naked (This will give a shadow effect and make your lashes appear to be much longer and fuller)

Curl lashes. Brush on mascara to top lashes and only to the outer corners of your bottom lashes. I used Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion

Line bottom water line with a skin tone pencil. I like to use Make Up For Ever's Concealer Pencil. I find using a white eye liner can be too stark.

Cheeks

Brush on a rose colored blush. I used Glo Minerals Blush in Sheer Petal. BeneFits Dandelion blush would also be a lovely color to use
Using the same foundation brush as earlier blend MAC's Cream Color Base in Pearl to highlight cheekbones

Lips
Line your lips using a red lip liner. I used NYX Auto Lip Pencil in Hot Red (Tip: to make your lipstick last all night pencil your entire mouth with the lip liner, not just the outline of your pout)
For lipstick I used MAC Russian Red, a very sexy red for Valentine's Day!
