– This is a fun and easy makeup look for Valentine's Day,
[00:00:03.03]
but let's be real here, not everyone is in a relationship.
[00:00:07.06]
I mean, there's some of you that might be single,
[00:00:09.05]
or maybe about to become single.
[00:00:11.05]
And do you know what?
[00:00:12.08]
Instead of making a day about love,
[00:00:14.08]
how about we make this a date about self-love?
[00:00:18.03]
(gentle music)
[00:00:19.08]
So this is not meant to be a full on glam look,
[00:00:22.08]
this is literally something that you could do,
[00:00:24.06]
whether you're going out on date,
[00:00:26.07]
a night out with your friends, or maybe you're just home,
[00:00:29.02]
'cause you know what, we are still in a pandemic.
[00:00:32.00]
So just have fun with whatever it is
[00:00:34.00]
that you're planning to do.
[00:00:35.01]
And remember Valentine's Day, self-love, baby.
[00:00:39.07]
I've already gone ahead and applied skincare products
[00:00:42.04]
to my face, including some Papaw for my lips.
[00:00:45.08]
So we're gonna jump right in
[00:00:46.09]
and get started with the makeup.
[00:00:48.04]
But first let's get this hair out of the way.
[00:00:50.06]
This way we can apply some makeup properly.
[00:00:53.05]
For my face, I'm gonna apply the Illamasqua Hydra Veil,
[00:00:56.08]
absolutely love this primer for my face.
[00:01:00.00]
And for my eyes, I'm applying…
[00:01:02.02]
this is the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer.
[00:01:05.00]
And the eye shadow primer, I'm even gonna apply this
[00:01:07.05]
underneath my eyes,
[00:01:08.09]
so it is literally around my entire eyes.
[00:01:11.09]
The primer will allow the makeup to just be applied
[00:01:15.00]
a lot more flawlessly without it getting into the creases,
[00:01:18.09]
or without even the pigmentation fading on us,
[00:01:21.09]
especially if you're gonna have it on for a few hours.
[00:01:24.04]
I'm going to start with eye makeup first.
[00:01:26.02]
And I'm gonna do the order of this a little bit differently,
[00:01:28.09]
compared to what you might've normally seen.
[00:01:31.04]
So I'm gonna start with my waterline makeup first.
[00:01:35.04]
I'm gonna be applying this eyeliner.
[00:01:38.00]
This is a beautiful maroon reddish color by Sephora,
[00:01:42.05]
the shade, itself, is called 04 Red Berry.
[00:01:46.00]
I'm applying this both to my top and bottom waterline.
[00:01:49.02]
For eyeshadows, we are gonna keep this incredibly simple,
[00:01:52.07]
and we're just gonna be using two shades.
[00:01:55.04]
So the first shade that we have, this is called Karma,
[00:01:59.08]
and the second shade that we're gonna use
[00:02:02.00]
is called Frazzled.
[00:02:03.05]
Starting with the Karma eyeshadow shade first,
[00:02:05.07]
I'm going to be applying
this all over the lid.
[00:02:08.04]
Now I'm using a slightly more fluffier eye shadow brush
[00:02:11.04]
'cause I do want this to be applied all over my lid
[00:02:14.07]
and I don't want the pigmentation to be too heavy.
[00:02:17.03]
Make sure to take a time to properly blend this out.
[00:02:20.03]
Next, I'm gonna be applying the shade Frazzled.
[00:02:22.05]
And for this one, I'm using an eyeshadow brush
[00:02:25.06]
that's slightly more flatter compared to the one
[00:02:28.03]
that we just used for applying the shade, Karma.
[00:02:32.02]
I'm concentrating this a little bit more
[00:02:34.04]
on the inner corner of my eye,
[00:02:36.05]
and the reason that I'm using the eyeshadow brush,
[00:02:39.01]
especially for a shimmery shade like this,
[00:02:41.03]
is because I did not want the shimmers to be too heavy.
[00:02:44.00]
If I used my fingers,
[00:02:45.07]
the pigmentation would have been a lot darker,
[00:02:48.05]
you would have seen a lot more shimmers.
[00:02:49.09]
But I'm trying to make this as subtle as possible,
[00:02:53.00]
especially because I wanna use a red lipstick for my lips,
[00:02:56.00]
and I want to keep the eye shadow look
[00:02:58.03]
as subtle as possible.
[00:02:59.07]
So for my under eyes,
[00:03:00.09]
I'm gonna be using my powder foundation technique.
[00:03:03.06]
Now, this is something
I normally tend to use.
[00:03:06.03]
I'm not a big fan of concealer, no matter what I've done,
[00:03:09.07]
it always seems to settle into my creases.
[00:03:11.07]
So I do like my powder foundation technique a lot more.
[00:03:15.03]
If you wanna see more information about this,
[00:03:17.00]
check out my other video where I've gone in detail
[00:03:19.03]
about how exactly is it that I cover up my under eyes
[00:03:22.03]
without using concealer.
[00:03:24.01]
Now, since I normally tend to use the same technique
[00:03:26.01]
over and over again, I'm not gonna go into too much detail
[00:03:28.06]
about it in this video.
[00:03:30.00]
For my lashes, I am using the Demi Wisp by Ardell.
[00:03:34.01]
I love these lashes because I feel like they give you
[00:03:36.09]
that subtle pop of having something a little bit extra,
[00:03:40.08]
but without it looking a little too crazy,
[00:03:43.06]
where you can clearly tell that you have fake lashes on.
[00:03:46.05]
With these, I have to admit,
[00:03:48.02]
there are times people have actually come up to me
[00:03:50.06]
and complimented that I've really nice lashes,
[00:03:53.05]
and didn't even realize that I was wearing false lashes.
[00:03:57.02]
I don't know how much to believe that, but Hey,
[00:03:59.03]
I will take that as a massive compliment
[00:04:02.04]
that these look as natural as possible.
[00:04:04.08]
Now that the eyes are completely done,
[00:04:06.08]
let's go ahead and move on to the rest of our face.
[00:04:10.00]
Now, I'm not gonna be applying a full face of foundation
[00:04:13.06]
'cause I'm just not a fan of foundation, in general.
[00:04:16.09]
So instead, what I'm gonna use is,
[00:04:18.03]
I'm gonna be using my powder foundation,
[00:04:20.04]
and I'm just gently applying it in areas
[00:04:23.00]
where I feel like I need a little bit of coverage.
[00:04:25.04]
I don't mind if some of my hyperpigmentation,
[00:04:28.03]
my age spots, are coming through.
[00:04:30.04]
My main goal really is just to, sort of, blur it out.
[00:04:33.03]
So this way it has more of a natural look,
[00:04:35.05]
without it looking like it's really cakey.
[00:04:38.02]
And honestly, my second reason being
[00:04:39.08]
is that I am in my forties, I do have more aging skin.
[00:04:42.05]
The more makeup I put on, the more obvious it is,
[00:04:45.05]
and I do like a very natural look for my face,
[00:04:48.02]
especially for my skin.
[00:04:49.06]
I want skin to look like real skin.
[00:04:52.04]
For my blush, I'm using the Rare Beauty Liquid Blush.
[00:04:55.00]
This is in the color Bliss,
[00:04:56.07]
and I'm just gonna apply this with my fingers,
[00:04:59.06]
keep this as simple as possible.
[00:05:02.02]
Really, my main goal with this is just
[00:05:04.00]
to give it a little bit of pop of color on my cheeks.
[00:05:06.03]
I'm not trying to get this to look absolutely perfect
[00:05:09.07]
or anything like that.
[00:05:11.02]
I just want to give this that look of,
[00:05:14.01]
when you're out in the sun
[00:05:15.03]
and your cheeks get a little bit flushed.
[00:05:17.06]
And just a tad bit on my nose,
[00:05:20.04]
and then just taking it across to both my cheeks.
[00:05:25.03]
So as you can see, this really is very subtle.
[00:05:28.04]
And to be honest with you, this will fade over time.
[00:05:31.02]
So once it's been, I would say, easily two to three hours,
[00:05:34.05]
this pigmentation is gonna go down quite a bit.
[00:05:37.02]
So either carry more
of this blush with you,
[00:05:40.03]
or go a little bit darker with your shade,
[00:05:42.04]
so this way it stays on
there for a few hours.
[00:05:45.05]
So we are on to our last step of applying our lipstick.
[00:05:50.00]
I am really excited to use this one
[00:05:52.02]
'cause honestly I don't do red that often.
[00:05:56.05]
And I love the different combinations that they have
[00:05:59.06]
in here of how they put this whole thing together.
[00:06:02.00]
So let's go ahead and apply this.
[00:06:04.02]
I'm gonna start with a little lip liner first,
[00:06:07.00]
and then move on to the next two steps.
[00:06:09.04]
For the lip liner,
[00:06:10.02]
I'm literally just keeping this exact shape on my lips.
[00:06:14.01]
I'm not trying to overline or anything,
[00:06:16.05]
just keeping this as simple and easy as possible.
[00:06:19.07]
By the way, if you want to overline them,
[00:06:21.05]
please go ahead and do that.
[00:06:23.01]
You do you, Boo, do what makes you happy.
[00:06:25.05]
So for me, mainly 'cause
red lips are so hard to do,
[00:06:29.09]
I just wanna keep it with the exact shape of my lips,
[00:06:32.08]
so this way I don't mess it up.
[00:06:34.03]
Now that the lip liner is done,
[00:06:35.09]
I'm gonna move on with the liquid matte lipstick.
[00:06:39.09]
(gentle music)
[00:06:44.05]
So the last step that we have here is the lip strobe,
[00:06:47.04]
and I'm gonna be applying this
[00:06:48.07]
right in the middle of the lips
[00:06:50.00]
to give it that beautiful shine.
[00:06:52.00]
So here is our final makeup look.
[00:06:54.03]
And I wanna wish you a beautiful Valentine's Day.
[00:06:58.04]
(bright music)
[00:07:01.00]
