I'm not realy a big fan of Valentine's day... Honestly, I don't care about it all... But it's a great excuse for playing with pink makeup!
I liked this look a lot but it's actually really simple

If you think it's more fun to watch a video, you can find it here:


Start with a clean, moisturized face My newly dyed black hair doesn't exactly make me look "colorful" so let's do something about that!


I'm a big fan of ArtDeco's "Eyeshadow base" so that's the base I'll be using. Any base without color will work just fine but remember to use a base!!


Apply a little bit all over your eyelids from lashline to eyebrow.


Let the base dry for a couple of minutes. That's important if you're using ArtDeco's base!
Next: White eyeshadow. I'm using GOSH "#244" eyeshadow. Any shimmery white eyeshadow will do the job
I'm using Smashbox's #3 eyeshadow brush for this. It's just a big fluffy brush


I apply from lashline to browbone on both eyes, like this:
(Don't you just love close-up-shots without face makeup? xD )


Now it's time for some piiiink!
I take my MAC Fuchsia pigment, my homemade mixing medium(1 part glycerin, 3 parts water) and a flat, stiff brush.


I apply it to my outer+middle lid and a bit above my crease like so:


Next I take my pink eyeshadow from GOSH. It's #281. Using Fuchsia pigment dry will work too but I think it's easier to control an eyeshadow


I apply the eyeshadow on top of Fuchsia pigment when it's completely dry and blend upwards.


See the difference? My left eye is blended, my right isn't


Now you can just blend the other eye too and look crazy while taking a picture... That'll get you this:


Pick up some more of the white shadow and blend it into the pink with a big, fluffy brush:


And this is what you'll get:


Now pick up some MAC "Passionate" eyeshadow...


.. And apply it to the outer corners of your eyes to create a bit more depth:


Now it's time for highlight. I choose MAC "Helium" but you can use the white color
too.


Apply it to your browbone and blend it with the pink.


Next is the red liner. I use GOSH "Fox" effect powder + home made mixing medium.


I line my eyes using a small liner brush. It's from GOSH.


I use a white kohl pencil from GOSH to line my waterline.


I apply mascara (Diorshow Blackout) and face makeup.
I use GOSH Velvet touch foundation primer, Lancome Teint Idole 010 foundation and Maybelline pure powder.
If you wanna see how I do my foundation, there's a tutorial here:
Bright Blues =)


I fill in my brows with a black Rimmel eyeshadow and an angled brush


And I now look like this! :


I use Maybelline Dream Mousse blush in "Dolly pink" + MAC "Fuchsia" pigment on my cheeks:


I use Pink Poodle and Helium on my lips...


I mixed them on my hand and applied with a lip brush:


I'll upload how to put the little stone on later... I'm in a terrible hurry!!
Oh, I also added some pink Wet 'n Wild glitter to my lips.. I'll post a picture of that too ;D

And let's take a look at the finished product






I hope this was helpful to somebody

Beautiful look!

The red liner does the trick, its really pretty!!
Also a big fan of GOSH cosmetics, i just love their eyeshadowcolours. i think the brand is a good alternative for people who can't afford MAC but still want colorfull e/s and stuff.
