Whether you
are going on a date with your man, going on a girls night to find Mr. Right or
staying home watching the Notebook and hating every man you’ve ever met, we all
deserve to look and feel fabulous this Valentines weekend. Whether that involves a face mask and an over
bubbly bath, some fantastic over dinner makeup or getting out your freakum
dress and killer heels and dancing to Single Ladies all night long, who cares
as long as you feel hawt! So here’s my favourite Valentine makeup picks for
this year.
Wilko’s Kiss Primer
Super cheap
primer so you don’t feel guilty about piling it all over your face, you
definitely need to have your best primer at the ready for a hot Valentine’s
evening! This goes on really easily and keeps my makeup in place all day, it
doesn’t do much to combat oil but it definitely keeps things intact.
Revolution Ultra Blush Palette
This has 6
blushes and 2 highlight shades, perfect because the shades are all so different
so you can mix it up a bit, they are very pigmented so use with a light hand.
There’s some more neutral pinks and then some real stand out powders.
NARS Orgasm
This is my
all time favourite blush, complete with a bit of shimmer to help your highlight
pop. It’s the perfect dusty pink shades so it wears really well. Definitely be
the blush that I am reaching for this Valentines Day, it gives off the perfect
glow for a sultry look.
Makeup Academy Undress Your Skin Highlighter
Really
shimmery so definitely packs a punch, I love the shade, a really subtle pink
which looks amazing on the skin. You can layer this up so it’s perfect for day
and night.
Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick – Pink Quartz
I mention
this all the time because it is my all time favourite highlighter, has the most
gorgeous colour and lasts all night long, definitely gives your skin a bit of
life. It’s not very pigmented but definitely has a lot of shimmer packed in to
it.
Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette
Has the most
perfect rose shades, exactly what you want for Valentine’s day, something pink
and girly and not too heavy. You can mix it up and create some different looks
for whatever the occasion.
Kiko Eyeshadow – 137
This is a
stunning shimmery burgundy eyeshadow, has great colour pay off and really
blendable. I wore this so much over Christmas so I’m glad it can make a comeback
this weekend.
Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick – 33
I love Rimmel
lipsticks, they are one of my favourite lipstick brands, this lipstick is a
stunning pink colour, perfect for Valentines Day.
MAC Lipstick – Lady Bug
A gorgeous
red lipstick, absolutely stunning. One of my favourite lipsticks, I wore this
on Christmas day, it’s a beautiful pop of colour but it’s sheer so extremely
easy to wear.
So Susan Rose Quartet
This is a lip
and cheek compact, but because it is so small it’s really hard to use on
cheeks, but I love using it on my lips. It has a bright red, a shocking pink, a
lighter pink and a nude. Perfect for any look but hard to use on the go.
Rimmel Provocalips Lip Stain – 310 Little
Minx
If you are
out for dinner this Valentines opt for a lip stain, it won’t budge no matter
how many cheesecakes and cocktails you consume. This colour is a little out
there, so if that scares you, check out the other shades in the range. It lasts
all night long and needs hardly any maintenance.
Maybelline The Falsies Push Up Drama
Mascara
I have only
used this a couple of times but I am falling in love with it, it’s an amazing
mascara! I won’t go on too much about it because a full review will be up soon,
but I had to include it because of the gorgeous pink and red packaging.
Barry M Nail Paint – 272 Shocking Pink
I love Barry
M nail varnishes, they apply so easy and last for ages. This colour is stunning
and gives a real pop. If you aren’t brave enough to wear shocking pink lipstick
then pop on some of this for some colour.
What are your plans this Valentines
Day?
Have you tried any of these products?
What did you think?
I love the UD Naked3 palette and the Nars Orgasm blush. They're definitely staples in my makeup collection!
