VALENTINES DAY LOOK!

Hey my beauties! As you all will obviously know, it was valentines day yesterday.
I had a lovely evening with my boyfriend, we just stayed in but he made me my favourite meal for dinner.
Valentine's is such a good day to show people you love them, even if you are single, you can't beat a night out with your girlfriends!

One of my favourite things about Valentine's (as with most occasions!) is to shake up my usual make up a little! I knew for Valentine's I was going to either go for Red or Pink incorporated into my look, but as we were just staying home I went for the more subtle pink!

I really liked the finished result so I thought why not share it with you guys!





These are the shadows I used! At first I primed my eyes with Urban Decay's EyeShadow Primer Potion. 
To save the any boring reading I'll just tell you guys what I done in step form!
Step 1. I applied Mac's 'All that glitters' in the inner corner of my eye
Step 2. I put Mac's 'Woodkinked' on the outer half of my eye.
Step 3. To blend the two colours together I used a blending blush with Mac's gorgeous 'Amber Lights' which really goes with the two.
Step 4. I used my mac 219 pencil brush (my favourite brush ever) with Mac's 'Espresso' (my favourite ever colour) in the crease. I used a pencil brush as I wanted quite a defined line.
Step 5. I used a pale pink with my mac 224 blending brush just slightly above my crease. The pale pink is from my BH 120 1st edition palette. It is the second one in the top row in my picture!
Step 6. I lined my upper lash line with Mac's fludline gel liner in 'Blacktrack'
Step 7. I lined my waterline and under my waterline with my Maybelline Color Tattoo in 'Pink Gold' this is the most gorgous colour tattoo I own!
Step 8. I finished the look by using Mac's 'Ricepaper' to highlight underneath my brow bone!


  I hope this pic does it justice! I took this pic in the afternoon when we had extreme snow outside so no matter what I did with lighting, the white outside threw it off!


As you can see in this one, the pale pink is subtle but so gorgeous with the brown!

What make up looks did you guys where for Valentines Day?
