Sweetheart Valentine's Day Look

In February, not much happens except for Valentines Day, and for many this means one of three things; you care, you don't, or you despise it. For singles Valentines Day is usually celebrated in a group setting by setting your ex boyfriends stuff on fire, getting drunk, and confessing your love of your single lifestyle. Or downing a container of chunky monkey alone while you cry and watch The Notebook. If you are with someone, your boyfriend/girlfriend are usually under so much pressure to get you the right gift, or cook you the right dinner, or make the right reservation that they don't even remember what they are supposed to be celebrating. Then there are those that absolutely despise the holiday and go all out to tell anyone who has ears how much they hate it. No matter what your situation, Valentines Day is a day to celebrate love, regardless of where it comes from. It could be your cat or dog who waits for you to come home everyday, or your family, or even your friends. It's not a holiday strictly for lovers, or those in love, it's for anyone who loves someone.

I wanted to do three different looks: a sweetheart, a sex vixen, and an anti V-day. I think it's important to represent those who want to look sweet, those that want to feel and look sexy, and those that are opposed all together. No matter where you fit in, I've got a look for you!

First up, the sweetheart!

When I think of sweetness makeup wise, I think natural, neutral tones, simple lips and pink cheeks. Let's get started :)

EYES

1. Start by applying your favorite eye shadow primer to both lids
2. Using a nude shadow sweep this all over the lid, apply this color heavier on the inner corner of the eye.
3. Using a champagne colored shadow, apply this from the outer portion of your eye to two thirds inward. Blend #2 shadow and #3 shadow together lightly, making sure to keep a good pop on the inner corner.
4. Apply a light bronze shadow to the outer half of your eye, working in a V shape.
5. To strengthen the crease, apply a gold shadow to the V shape and blend the colors together. Apply the same gold shadow to the lower lash line.

FACE

1. Using Anastasia Dip Brow Pomade in Blonde, fill in your brows.

2. Apply Mascara (I used Bad Gal Lash by Benefit)

3. Apply foundation (I used Tarte Amazonian Clay Airbrush Foundation)

4. In the hollows of your cheek apply bronzer (NARS Laguna)

5. Above your bronzer, apply pink blush working towards the apples of your cheeks (NARS Angelika)

6. Under your eyes, bridge of your nose, middle of your forehead and cupids bow apply your favorite highlighter (Anna Sui Mystic Rose)

LIPS

1. Apply your favorite neutral pink gloss (NARS Super Orgasm)

Twirl your hair + Bat your lashes + Smize = Sugary sweet

*If you're not the "sweet" type or plan on sexing it up for Valentine's Day, stay tuned, I got you!*
