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!

Valentine's Day Makeup Look with NARS Douce France

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.

    I like this a lot. I don’t prefer VDay looks that scream pink and red, this understated pretty is quite lovely.

    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. :P love this look in particular, can’t wait till my boyfriend sees it on V-day!! Good job!

    • Phyllis says:

      Haha thanks so much Betsy. I’m a LOT older than you (turning 30 this year but don’t tell anyone!!!) *lol*

  7. Courtney says:
