Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and we have your perfect date night beauty look covered!
PRODUCTS WE USED:
Step 1 Foundation and Concealer:
To start off this makeup look, prep skin with Stila primer in One Step Prime. Next, take the Stila Serum concealer and apply this underneath eyes blending out softly with fingertips. For foundation we used the Glo Skin Beauty Luminous Liquid Foundation. Starting at the center of the face, apply the foundation and blend outwards, buffing into skin. To create a soft airbrushed look we used the Glo Flat Top Kabuki brush.
Step 2 Set and Bronze:
Once we’ve completed our coverage we set everything in place with the Glo pressed base powder. Then using Stila’s Stay All Day contouring bronzer we create a warm glow all over the skin. Apply this along hairline, cheekbones and down to the jawline with a large fluffy brush.
Step 3 Highlight:
Complete this bronzed look with the Stila Heaven’s Hue Highlighter in the color Bronze. Dust this along the tops of cheekbones and a small amount down the bridge of your nose.
Step 4 Eyebrows:
For the eyebrows we used the Glo eyebrow pencil in the colour Raven. Use the comb at one end of the pencil to gently brush hair upwards. With small strokes that resemble hairs, carefully fill in the brows where needed and add definition to the arch of the brow.
Step 5 Eyes:
To begin the eyes, use our favourite eyeshadow primer by Paul and Joe all over the lid. This will cancel out any colour and create a base for our shadow. Using the Stila Soul palette, take the colour Heart and blend this into the crease. Next take Vitality and sweep this all over the lid. Next, take the Stila smudge stick in stingray and smudge this into the upper lash line, this will give the illusion of thicker lashes. Finish off the eyeshadow by highlighting the top of the brow bone and inner corner of the eye, for this we mixed light and kitten to brighten and add a pop of shimmer.
Last for the eyes, apply mascara in Stila Huge extreme lash. Begin at the base and wiggle upwards to the ends of the lashes. Repeat for 2 coats.
If you would like to add false lashes to this look, we recommend using our lashes in #46!
Step 6 Lips:
Now create the focal point of our Valentine’s look with a bright red lip! Start by lining the lips with the red Paul & Joe Liner in 05 to make a nice crisp edge. We recommend always sharpening the pencil first to get the best precision. Then fill in lips with Stila liquid lipstick in Beso, the perfect cherry red. To finish, top with Paul & Joe lip gloss in 08.
