Valentines makeup look ideas



Hi Ladies and welcome to this week’s special Valentine’s Edition of Ask Grace FaceQuizite.  As Valentine’s day is just a couple of days away, I have come up with two different looks that will work for a special valentine’s day date with your special one.  I understand that some of us struggle when it comes to how we wear our makeup when trying to impress someone we like very much, especially those in a new relationship.  For some reason, we tend to get confused about the tiniest of things.  Things that normally wouldn’t stress us out eg what do i wear, how should i wear my makeup, what do i do with my hair etc.  Suddenly start to cause us unnecessary stress.  So, to help alleviate at least one of these causes of stress, I am suggesting the two makeup looks below and giving you a step by step guide on how to recreate them.

Both looks are very suitable for Valentine’s day and very easy to re-create.  I love them both though I never wear red lipstick but thought “why not? It’s valentine’s.

I am currently working on creating video tutorials for different looks so do watch out for these.  I will also endeavour to include step by step pictures of each look in my future articles so please bear with me till then.

Once you have decided on which look to go for, follow the step by step guide below to recreate it .



Look 1 – Silver Ring

1. Apply eyeshadow primer all over your eye lid
2. Apply an eyeshadow base from lashline to crease preferably in black or charchoal
3. Apply a gray eyeshadow colour on your lid, from lashline to crease
4. Apply black eyeshadow to the outer corner of your eye and blend
5. Apply a colour close to your skin tone to the crease area in sweeping motions to blend out colour eg a light brown.
6. Apply a silver eyeshadow or glitter to the inner corner of the eye to give it extra pop.
7. Apply a light eyeshadow colour eg MAC’s Arena or Shroom to your browbone.
8. Apply Eyeliner on your upper lid and your waterline
9. Apply Mascara on both top and bottom lashes and finish off the look with false lashes for that extra Vava voom.

For this look i will recommend a light colour on your lips but you can wear it with a darker colour if you so desire.

Look 2 – Smoulder

1. Apply eyeshadow primer all over your eye lid
2. Apply a  nude colour eyeshadow base all over the lid from lashline to browbone.
3. Apply a light eyeshadow colour eg MAC pigment in Naked all over your lid from lashline to crease
4. Apply a brown eyeshadow colour to your crease area in sweeping motions ensuring you don’t take the colour too high
5. Blend, blend, blend.
6. Apply a neutral colour to your browbone eg MAC eyeshadow pigment in Vanilla or eyeshadow colour in Arena.
7. Apply eyeliner on your upper lid and your waterline
8. Apply Mascara on both your top and bottom lashes and finish off the look with false lashes.

For this look I would recommend stronger lips eg red or plum but preferably red, to go with the Valentine season.  I never wear red but I did just to show you how well it works with this look.

So there you have it.  Two lovely looks to choose from for your valentine’s day date with your special one, or even a night out with your girls.  Ensure you practice your preferred look prior to the special day, and whatever you do, make sure you look and feel fabulous.
