I wanted to do an eye look that's neutral and sexy that would go with any lip you feel like wearing. It's pretty simple and I did the whole thing just using the Urban Decays Naked 2 Basics palette.
Skimp Stark Frisk Cover Primal Undone
I used Stark as an all over lid color. Frisk was used as a transition crease color. I mixed Cover and Primal and put them in the crease. I used Undone in the outer "V" area of my eyes and lastly I used Skimp on my inner corner and on the brow bone as a highlight. When I'm going to do a smoky eye I blend....like crazy. It helps to always have a clean fluffy blender brush handy, it makes blending and getting rid of the harsh lines so much easier. Always start with the smallest amount of product at first and just add more if you need to. I also like using a pencil brush when I'm going to add a dark color to the crease. Its easier to place the color where I want it, plus I have small eyes so it fits better. I always have to add more of the lid color when I'm finished blending out the crease because you're going to loose it. The thing about doing a smoky eye is that you have to practice it, it wont happen over night. I usually only do brown because it's more forgiving and I'm less likely to look like a raccoon when I'm done.
I also used the Benefit They're Real Pushup Liner to do a small wing. I really like this because the applicator makes it so much easier to use.
For my brows I used the NYX Micro Brow Pencil in Chocolate.
Mascara is the Tarte's Lights Camera Lashes
Now for the fun part....LIPS!!!!! I did 4 different looks.
Red: Nars lip pencil in Cruella
Bright pink: NYX Shocking Pink
Brown: Palladio lip liner in Walnut
NYX lipstick in Butter
Nude pink: Bite lipstick in Fig
I stuck with this one for work.
I put my hair in a bun because its easy and classic but I added a "bump" at the crown.
Lastly, if I was going out for Valentines Day I like to be comfortable but cute. I never know where I'll be going or how long I will be there. So I went with my trusty black leggings, a black loose shirt and this cute as crap kimono. I got it at Ross last Tuesday an thought it would be good for Valentines Day because of the pink. I also liked that the print was tribal. I saw one that had roses but someone who will remain nameless **cough cough Leandro*** said it looked like an old lady. I got these Steve Madden Boots a few years ago for Christmas from my mom.
Well that's all folks. (Porky Pig was my favorite) I hope this helps you guys out with some ideas for that special day. The eye look is so neutral that it can really be worn anywhere you go. Thanks for stopping by, I hope everyone has a great Valentines Day and if you don't have a Valentine its ok, there's a lot of people out there that don't so you're really not alone. Remember I'll be your Valentine, so I'll be sending you a hug through this blog so put your arms out and pucker up because here it comes.
Thanks for reading
Love yall
