FOTD: Valentine's Day Makeup.

I haven't done a make-up look or FOTD post for a while so I thought it would be the perfect time to do one now with Valentine's Day just around the corner. If you're going out on a date on Valentine's Day, you want to make sure you look like you have made an effort for him, but also look natural at the same time. 
For this look, I used a shimmery champagne eyeshadow on the eyelids, and then counterbalanced it with a matte brown shade in the crease. I used a white eyeliner on my water line and a shimmery white eyeshadow in my inner corner to make my eyes look bigger and brighter and I curled my eyelashes before I applied mascara.
On my lips I used my "my lips but better" lipstick; my advice would be to keep your lips a subtle nude/ pink shade, no boy would like to end up with bright pink or red lips!
Finally, I used my straighteners to curl my hair in to loose, natural looking ringlets :)

    1. Thank you! I use an odd technique to achieve my curls haha, I wrap my hair around my finger and then take the section in my hand whilst it is wrapped in to a circle shape (if you get what I mean, I'm rubbish at explaining haha), and then I clamp down on it with my straighteners for a few seconds :) It leaves you with gorgeous loose curls :) x
