Whether you love or hate this love-filled day, it's good to have a Valentine's Day look up your sleeve that always works perfectly. Half an hour of self-love has never hurt anyone (on the contrary!) and it's always guaranteed to lift your spirits. Just like red lipstick!
In a world of constant innovations and fast-changing trends, does it seem to you that the classics are losing their lustre? This constant hunt for something new and original can be a bit tiresome. Classics are classics because they work and we can always rely on them. And Valentine's Day makeup with red lipstick will wrap you in a blanket of confidence and self-assurance, whether you're spending the day alone or in company. Give it a chance!
Create the base according to your own taste and mood. A brightening foundation or a matte full-coverage foundation, concealer, bronzer, highlighter, blusher or powder – it's up to you if you use everything or if you're a skin minimalist. Of course, you mustn't forget to fine-tune your eyebrows.
Tap a lustrous eyeshadow from the Yves Saint Laurent Couture Mini Clutch palette in the shade over brun onto your moving eyelid with your fingertip. Use the medium brown eyeshadow to deepen the crease of your eyes and apply it under your lower eyelashes.
What would Valentine's Day be without a little drama, so why shouldn't it be played out in plain sight. Use Estée Lauder Smoke & Brighten Kajal Eyeliner Duo in the shade noir to darken the corners of your eyes, and a mesmerising look will be born.
A precise black line is needed above the upper eyelashes. Simply draw it with MAC Cosmetics Brushstroke 24 Hour Liner, brushblack shade. Don't forget the pointed part in the inner corners of your eyes.
Apply a few layers of Lancôme Lash Idôle mascara to your eyelashes.
The icing on the cake, intensely red lips, can be done with MAC Cosmetics Locked Kiss Ink 24HR Lipcolour liquid lipstick in the shade gossip.
Finally, don't forget Urban Decay All Nighter Vitamin C setting spray.
That's it! Red lips and sharp eyeliner are a sure bet to lift your mood and add a touch of glamour. To make sure you master this classic, watch our video.
