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.

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!
