Top ten Makeup Tips For Valentine Day


Before you know, the day is upon you! But there is no need to panic. You can make Valentine Day a grand success by planning your 'dressing up' well in advance. Women are notorious for making their dates wait. This Valentine's day you can show your partner that you are a pretty face and more.

Follow the tips below to get the right looks right on time:

Half your problem is solved if you know where you are likely to go on the big day. Even if you do not know the specifics, it will help to know if you are going to be outdoors or indoors, if it is going to be a formal date or an informal hanging out at the local pub. Once you know that you can plan your dress much in advance, dress for the weather and the occasion. There is simply no point in pulling out your silk cocktail gown for a pub get together with the gang! If it is outdoors, make sure you are warm and cute in your woolies rather than ridiculous and cold in bare shoulders.
Depending on the ambience, plan your hairstyle. Curls are flattering and elegant and free tresses never go out of fashion. If you are going to a breezy place, make sure to have something to tie your hair with or secure them in a nice style before you move out instead of making a spectacle of yourself.
Makeup will make your evening exciting. Keep your lips soft and kissable with lip gloss or flavored chapsticks. Lipsticks stain collars and create a mess on glasses as well. If you do decide to wear lip color, make sure to test the shade before you had and top it with lip gloss to get the sexy pout! In all cases, keep your lipstick or lip gloss handy to repair the damage, if any.
Make your eyes look intense and romantic with the right eye makeup. Thicken and lengthen your lashes with mascara. Apply a liner and use eye shadow with sparkle to create interest.
Use powder blush to create a cute rosy complexion and heighten the color in your cheeks.
Get a pedicure and manicure done a day before to be prepared for the big evening. There is nothing more exciting than flushed toes and pretty painted fingernails. Match the nail enamel shades with your clothes. You can add shine to the topcoat to create some excitement. Of course, use your own judgment with regards to your age and the destination.
Massage some scented oil into your toes before you step into your dainty slippers for the evening.
Spray the flirtiest perfume you could have found on your pulse points. Walk through the spritz to envelop yourself in the fragrance.
Pick a purse to match with your clothes and equip it with makeup you might have to repair.
Put on the smile - flirty or friendly- whatever the occasion calls for!
