Valentine's Day makeup FOTD/tutorial!

Hey Everyone! I hope y'all are having a wonderful day! I'm so sorry I've been MIA for the past month, I started college classes last month and so everything else (meaning both my blogs and my youtube channel) kind of took a backseat. But hopefully I'll be back at it soon!


Anyways, as you all know today is Valentine's Day and even though I don't have a special someone in my life (yet!) I still ended up doing a Valentine's day inspired makeup look. And I wanted to share it with y'all! So lets get started:





Here's the products I used:


Face: 


  • Too Faced primed and poreless face primer
  • Sei Bella tinted moisturizer in fawn #8877 
  • Covergirl Concealer balm in light 
  • Revlon nearly naked pressed powder in light/medium
  • Rimmel Natural bronzer in sunlight #021
  • ELF cream blush (from the blush/bronzer duo in St. Lucia) 
  • ELF translucent matifying powder 
  • Lorac perfectly lit highlighting powder in spotlight

Eyes: 

  • ELF eye primer 
  • Maybelline color tattoo metal eyeshadow in inked in pink 
  • Lo'real infallible eyeshadow in smoldering plum 
  • ELF long lasting lustrous eyeshadow in soiree 
  • TheBalm Rockstar palette
  • Covergirl clump crusher mascara 

Lips: 

  • Too Faced la creme lipstick in nude beach 





So I wanted a kind of dramatic eye with a nude lip and I came up with this look last night when I was brainstorming. I'm really happy with how this look turned out and I'll probably be wearing this look alot! Anyways, here's how I got this look: 


After I applied my too faced primed and poreless face primer and my elf eye primer, I decided to let my face primer dry a little more. So I went straight into my eye look, first I took my maybelline color tattoo metal eyeshadow in inked in pink and I applied that to the inner half of my lid. Then I went into the lo'real infallible eyeshadow in smoldering plum and I applied that to the outer half of my lid. Next, I went to my TheBalm Rockstar palette and taking the shade "Presto" (its a matte dark brown) I applied and blended that into my crease. To complete my eye makeup and to add a little sparkle, I applied elf lomg-lasting lustrous eyeshadow in soiree over the top of the lo'real smoldering plum shade that I applied to the outer part of my lid. After I did my eye look, I took my sei bella tinted moisturizer in fawn and applied it all over my face and blended it down my neck. Next, I took my revlon nearly naked pressed powder in light/medium and applied that to my face. After I applied that, I took my covergirl concealer balm in light and applied it to any problem areas on my face using the flawless concealer brush from elf. To add some color to my cheeks, I took the blush/bronzer duo in St. Lucia from ELF and applied the blush to the apples of my cheeks using the small stippling brush from elf. Next I applied rimmel natural bronzer in sunlight #021 with the sigma F40 brush and I contoured my cheeks. Next, to highight my cheekbones and the bridge of my nose, I applied LORAC perfectly lit powder in spotlight. Finally, to complete my look I applied ELF translucent matifying powder to my face using Sigma F30 brush. And lastly, I applied too faced la creme lipstick in nude beach to my lips.


And thats it!! I hope this was helpful and informative for you all! I hope you found some inspiration from this look and please let me know if you have any requests for beauty videos and/or blog posts in the comments section below. I hope you have a fabulous Valentine's Day and I'll hopefully be blogging again soon! :)
