Makeup Tutorial: Soft Pink Valentine’s Day Makeup Look
Looking for makeup ideas to impress your date or significant other this coming Valentine’s Day? Try this soft pink makeup look you can whip up in just 10 minutes. Step-by-step tutorial after the jump!

Step 1. After prepping the eye area with a base (I used Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Shadow in Shore), line the upper lashline with Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero.

Step 2. Before the eyeliner sets, smudge it with NARS Lhasa Eyeshadow to soften the look.

Step 3. Using a fluffy brush like MAC #217 Blending Brush, sweep the medium pink eyeshadow from NARS Douce France Trio Eyeshadow onto the eyelid. Blend past the crease.

Step 4. Sweep the lightest shade from NARS Douce France Trio Eyeshadow onto the brow bone.

Step 5. Line the lower lashline with Urban Decay Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero.

Step 6. Again, soften the line with NARS Lhasa.

Step 7. Apply a few coats of black mascara on top and bottom lashes. Add a pair of full fake lashes like Piccasso Eyeme Premium Fake Eyelashes in S30.

Step 8. Smile big and apply the medium pink shade from NARS Douce France Trio Eyeshadow onto the apples. Blend towards the temples.

Step 9. Finish the look with a warm pink lipstick like NARS Satin Lipstick in Bilbao.

Done!

Love the look, very pretty & natural looking.
Thanks Julie
This is so pretty on you!!!!!!! You should do more of these step by step tutorials
Will do – thanks!
I like this a lot. I don’t prefer VDay looks that scream pink and red, this understated pretty is quite lovely.

Thanks!! Been having problems with my skin. I was told it was congested. N I just need to exfoliate. But been exfoliating it for few days now n I don’t see any difference.

Hi!! I found this site by accident, and I’m already hooked!! I’m only 14 but these tutorials make it super easy to follow and create GORGEOUS looks! I was wondering how old you are ( a little strange I know) but only because you look so young.
love this look in particular, can’t wait till my boyfriend sees it on V-day!! Good job!
Haha thanks so much Betsy. I’m a LOT older than you (turning 30 this year but don’t tell anyone!!!) *lol*

Thanks Courtney!

Hi Jenn,
The lashes are from a premium Korean brand that are supposedly used by 99% of Korean celebrities. It is only available in stores in Korea but you can get them through Piccasso’s website (http://piccassobrush.com/en/150-eyeme-eyelash-no-s30.html)
