Valentine's Day Tutorial ♥

Hey Everyone! :) Today I have a simple & sweet valentines day tutorial for you all. Its a pink smokey eye, so simple, inexpensive and gorgeous. I hope you all get a chance to do this look, or recreate it in your own way :) If you have any questions leave them below. & lets get started...

Items Used






































How to Get the Look:

Step One: Start off by priming your eye like usual to keep the shadows from creasing. I used Urban Decay primer Potion. Use your finger to apply this to your lid all the way to your browbone and your lower lashline. Next, apply NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk and apply this using your finger to just your lid. Then take your Wet & Wild Trio in Sweet As Candy and take the lightest shade, the shimmery off-white and apply this with a Flat Shader Brush to the inner 1/3 of your lid.

Step Two: Flip the Flat Shader Brush around and take the middle colour, the light pink and apply this all over your lid. You can use a Blender Brush to blend out any hard lines.






Step Three: Take a Pencil Brush and the darkest colour in the palette, the dark sparkley brown and apply this in your crease and outer corner of your eye. Take your blending brush again and blend everything out. Using the Pencil Brush still, take the brown and apply it to your bottom lashline.Take the lightest colour of the palette again and use it on your browbone with a short shader brush.

Step Five: Apply your fave eyeliner, I used MAC's Fluideline and put it on your waterline and line your upper lashline I used a bent eyeliner brush. Also, apply black mascara on top and bottom lashes. I used Maybelline's Colossal and Loreal Voluminous  and youre done the eye look!



Thats it for eyes! Onto the lips...

Step Six: Apply a hot pink gloss. I skipped on lipstick this time because I didnt think it was necessary. I used Revlon's Lipgloss in Pink Pop its gorgeous!




And thats it! Your look is complete! Such a pretty and perfect look for Valentines Day. I enjoyed creating this simple look. I hope you all have an amazing valentines. Thanks for reading & let me know what you think!
