Fotd!


Perfect look for Valentine's Day! <3
On my nails: Sally Hansen Insta-Dry in Teal-y Fast









Here's How I did the eyes:

Start off by priming your eyelids, any primer will do.
Next apply a cream base of your choice. I used
MAC's Bare Study Paint Pot.
 The NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Yogurt is an awesome alternative.
Then apply a shimmery champagne color to the inner half of your eyelid and tear duct..my favorite is Merle Norman's eye shadow in Vanilla Mousse (see swatches above). Taking the Knock On Wood trio, pack on the lightest shade, labeled "brow bone" to the outer half. Take any fluffy crease brush you have pick up the shade labeled "eyelid" and softly blend into your crease. Then take a tapered crease brush and dip it into the darkest shade of the palette, labeled "crease" and create a V in the outer corner. Blend slightly into the crease.
To transition your crease color to the brow bone, use the Vanity palette and take the medium brown shade with that same fluffy crease brush you used earlier and blend over the edges. Lastly, use the matte cream color from the same palette under the brow as a highlight.
For eyeliner you don't want to use anything too harsh. I opted for a creme liner and instead of black, I used a deep purple. Merle Norman's Creme Eyeliner in Aubergine is amazing. No wing..just smudge it as close to your lash line as you can. Line your upper waterline (you can line the lower waterline if you want, I chose not to). Curl your lashes, apply two coats of your favorite mascara
and your eyes are complete!
For cheeks/lips use light pinks, 
and make sure your skin is glowing :)
