Candy Hearts

I put together a soft, romantic look for a different take on Valentine's Day makeup. It would look perfect with a flirty pink dress or with a casual jeans and t-shirt combo. I have a bunch of Valentine's tutorials planned for you guys this week, so keep an eye out!



























Eyes
1. Prime the lids to ensure long lasting, crease proof, intense color payoff. I used my Urban Decay Primer Potion.
2. Draw a light pink base onto the whole lid to intensify the colors of the shadows that will go overtop. I used a Caviar Stick by Laura Mercier, but I believe the color was limited edition.
3. Pat a light pink shadow all over the lid, concentrating the most color in the center.
4. Place a shimmery cream color on the inner corners of the eyes to open them up.
5. Lightly blend a purple/taupe shade into the crease to add depth and definition.
6. Add black liquid liner to the top lashline. I used my Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in 'Trooper'.
7. Add mascara and false lashes if you choose. I think lashes make this look fun and flirty.
8. Place a bit of a shimmery cream color on the inner corners of the bottom lashline and draw a purple pencil along the outer half before setting it with a vibrant purple shadow.
9. Finish the look by filling in the brows, I used my Anastasia Brow Wiz in 'Medium Ash'.

  1. It was 'Taffy' from the Too Faced Palette. Pretty much all of the colors in this look are from that palette :)
