Planning a night out for Valentine’s Day this year? Planning a night in? Even better! Whether you are headed out for a night on the town or a cozy dinner date at home, you will certainly want to look your sexiest. Check out my 6 steps to being a true valentine beauty on February 14th!
Eyes: Start with the eyes and create an ultra-sexy smokey eye. It can be done with a light hand or with extra oomph, you decide. My favorite palette right now is the Boudoir Eyes Shadow Collection from Too Faced, instant bedroom eyes! Too Faced, $36.00
Blush: After applying your favorite foundation, get the absolute perfect flush to your cheeks with another personal favorite, NARS Orgasm Blush. I think the name says it all! NARS Cosmetics, $28.00
Highlighter: One step I cannot stress enough is highlighting! Adding a highlighting product to your cheekbones and brow bone is my secret weapon in beauty. You can do this before or after foundation. It leaves you with a radiance and a real “finished” look. For Valentine’s Day, try All Over Seduction from Edward Bess, add this cream highlighter to your cheekbones, eyes, and even lips. Sephora, $38.00
Lips: When focusing on the eyes for drama, keep the lips in a perfect pink-nude. Try Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color in Uber Pink, a universally flattering shade and very moisturizing on the lips. Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, $24.00
Body: After moisturizing with your favorite lotion, enhance and hydrate your arms, legs, and decollete with Miracle Skin Transformer Body SPF20. Your skin will look younger, brighter, and with a touch of added color much-needed in the winter months. Unlike self-tanners, MST Body leaves no streaks, does not transfer to clothing, yet washes off easily in the shower. Yes, it is a miracle product! Miracle Skin Transformer, $34.00
Hair: No matter what style you typically wear, curly or straight, this Valentine’s Day go for sexy, bed-head. It is low maintenance and just HOT! Try a spray like Charlotte Ronson’s A Perfect Mess. Spritz it on damp hair, air dry, then style it messy. It’s super easy and will look effortless. Sephora.com, $20.00
Just add your favorite “hot date” outfit to this little beauty routine and I am betting you will have a Valentine’s Day to remember!
