Makeup for February 14: Secrets to look your best

Makeup for February 14 should start with the basic steps, and focus on the eyes and lips.

The first stage is skin preparation

Cleanse and moisturize

Start by cleansing your face and applying moisturizer to prepare your skin for makeup. Use a lightweight primer to improve makeup staying power.

Foundation

Apply foundation or BB cream to even out your skin tone. It is better to choose a product with light to medium coverage for a fresh and natural look.

Concealer

Use concealer to hide dark circles under the eyes or minor imperfections.

Powder

Set your makeup with powder to keep your face from shining throughout the day.

The second stage is eye makeup

Eyebrows

Use an eyebrow pencil or brow gel to emphasize your brows. Stick to the natural shape, only slightly highlighting the contour to make them look neat.

Eyeshadow

For romantic eye makeup, choose soft, delicate shades. Pastel pink, peach, or brown eyeshadows are suitable. Apply a light shade to the mobile eyelid and slightly darken the outer corner of the eye with a darker tone to create depth.

Eyeliner

For arrows, use liquid eyeliner or an eyeliner pencil. It is best to start with a thin line near the inner corner of the eye and gradually thicken it towards the outer corner. The arrows can be classic, with a curved tail, or slightly raised to create a more dramatic effect. If you want to make the arrows bolder, you can lengthen them slightly.

Life hack: To draw straight arrows, the blogger glued strips of tape near her eyes. This will make it easier to draw arrows if you don't have much experience.

Mascara

Finish your eye makeup by applying mascara to the upper and lower lashes. For greater expressiveness, use mascara to volume or lengthen your lashes.

The third stage is contouring

Blush

You can apply a delicate peach or pink blush to your cheeks to give your face a fresh look. It's best to choose a creamy texture that looks natural and blends easily.

Highlighter

Use a highlighter to create an extra glow on the cheekbones and center of the forehead. It will give your face a healthy and radiant look.

The fourth stage is lips

Light gloss or matte lipstick

Choose neutral shades on your lips - pink, nude, or peach. For a romantic look, a light lip gloss is ideal, but if you want a more expressive accent, use matte lipstick in a shade close to your natural lip color.

Finishing touch

Go over your makeup with a setting spray to ensure that it lasts all day and doesn't lose its staying power.

Tips:

• On Valentine's Day, you can add a little glow to your makeup, for example, with golden shadows in the corners of the eyes or in the center of the moving eyelid.
• If you want to add some originality, you can choose colored arrows, such as burgundy or dark pink, to add some brightness to your look.
• This makeup is perfect for a romantic evening, a date, or just to feel special that day.
