Lucia's Looks & OOTD: Valentine's Day!

Hiya Beauties

I’m sorry I’m a little late with this but I have a Valentine ’s Day look for you, I really enjoyed this one! I went for a sexy, sultry eye and I paired it with a nude lip, I also took a picture with a red lip in case some of you more adventurous girls wanted to do red for valentines.

I went for cherry and browns on the eye which is a combo that I love; I stayed away from a straight up bright red as we don’t want to look like a vampire or the undead. I used slanted lashes for that sleepy bedroom eye, and I’m really pleased with the end result, oh and I've even put together an outfit too! I really hope you like the look and find it useful.

Eyes

 Products Used:

6 different MAC shadows (colours are all interchangeable depending on your skintone and what brands you prefer)

Burgandy shadow from a JC Nadia Paris palette 

• I started off with an eye shadow base in a burgundy to prime the eye and enhance the colour of the shadow. I laid down ‘cranberry’ by Mac on the most prominent part of the brow bone, I then used a chocolate brown in the crease for the transition colour between ‘cranberry’ and the lid colour, I used a burgundy eye shadow for all over the lid and used a bright gold as an inner corner highlight. 

• I placed some of the burgundy on the lower lid and used a black eye shadow to add definition in the outer corner of the eye and to add a Smokey effect.
   
• I lined my eyes as normal and added sexy lashes.

Cheeks and Lips!

Products Used:

Burgandy blush (use with a light hand)

Nude- 'half n half' by MAC with 'whirl' lipliner also by MAC (good nude if you are similar to my skintone)

Red- 'Rebel' by MAC

• I used a burgundy blush on my cheeks (using an extremely light hand, as I wanted the focus to be on the eyes).
• On my lips I went for a nude lipstick, I also tried out the look with a deep red lip.

(For foundation, concealer, eye liner, lashes, mascara, eyebrows etc use brands and colour to suit) 

Oh and here's a few snaps of the outfit and the makeup together...
