We all have the license to doll up at any year but Valentine’s Day is a little more special and you’ll probably end up using colors and shades that you usually reserve for special days like these. This usually requires a little more effort and practice to get it right. Before Valentine’s Day, it’s best to know what look you’re going for and what you’ll be wearing in order to match your makeup to your outfit.
1. Get your dress and shoes ready the day before to avoid panicking on what to wear on the day itself.
2. Make sure that you get enough rest and use a sheet mask to ensure that your skin is supple and smooth for makeup application.
3. It’s normal to get nervous and you might end up with a few makeup boo boos if you’re not careful so have some makeup remover wipes at hand.
4. If you’re planning to take lots of pictures, don’t go for a foundation that’s a shade or two lighter (be careful with BB creams!) especially if you’ll be showing skin around your shoulders and neckline.
5. Fluttery lashes may make you look all the more adorable but use a good adhesive and choose a natural pair or else your date will get suspicious about your “natural beauty”!
