Pretty Valentines Look

Hey Beauties!


This look turned out a lot prettier than I was expecting it to and I really enjoyed doing it. It’s a very soft look with warm tones of brown and rosy coral. I think this would be perfect as a sweet/pretty Valentines look, or for a first date. The winged out and slightly smudged liner on the lower lash line gives it softness yet keeping that subtle sexiness alive. I initially paired this look with a nude pink lip and a hint of gloss. However, those lips were a bit too subtle for my taste so I vamped it up with a pink high sheen lipstick and also blended a bit of kryolan aqua color in the outer corners for some definition. Hope you guys try it out! The list of products used is given below.

Enjoy & Take Care <3

Mask: "Rouges En Fleurs"

Hello!

Welcome to my very first Blog post ever! 8).

I was sitting around lazy one evening and this is what i came up with. My inspiration was this very abstract eyeliner look i saw on You Tube [which i would've linked here if only i could find it... sigh! 8/ ]. After applying my foundation, I blended a silver grey eyeshadow on my forehead also bringing the color a little below my temple area. I then traced the abstract branches, rosebuds and leaves with 'Kryoloan Aqua Color' using a Kryolan professional art brush in Art. 3501. Then for the leaves i used a pearl green eye pencil as a base before applying a shimmery green eyeshadow over it to make the color super bright. For the rosebuds i used the same lip color as used on the lips. To complete the look i slightly outlined my lips (on the cupids bow and outer corners) with the Kryolan aqua color and blended it inwards. & Voila! The look is complete. Enjoy!
