Hello ladies!  Happy hump day. :D  Here’s a look I did for Valentine’s day.  When I think of Valentine’s day, soft and romantic look comes to mind.  I don’t know what this makes me (special? confused? LOL), but my look here is anything but soft. :P  It is a very dramatic purple smoky eye with nude lips.  I still don’t know if I like this look or not.  Thoughts?

Get the Look

Using a flat synthetic brush, use the dark brown as a colour base all over the lid.  Using a fluffy blending brush like the MAC 217, blend out the colour using espresso in and slightly above the crease. Using a fluffy eye shader brush, pat in the violet all over the lid. Blend out the colour using, well, the blending brush. Line the waterline and lower lashline with a waterproof violet pencil. Put on your best mascara, or big false lashes if you dare. ;)

Using a blush brush, apply a bronzy blush (or a bronzer) as you would contour your cheeks. Swipe on a peachy nude lipstick, and you’re done.

Speaking of Valentine’s Day…

I fed my muffin top with lots of Ferrero Rocher from BF. It was good times! Now I have to work it off by getting some ass-kicking from Jillian. *sighs*

Did you do anything for Valentine’s Day, or the Lunar New Year? Is anyone else glued to the Olympics on TV? I seriously want to try snowboard cross sometime in the future.
