Nothing like being covered in your own skin with a touch of that wicked charm and elusive persona at Valentine’s Day dates, sure! But getting dolled up for an evening’s out to look better for that someone special is a lot of fun too. Here are some spectacular beauty secrets to incorporate during this, heart-kindling, cheeks-blushing, scarlet of an evening. Who knows? You may not require cupid to use his powers after all.

A fantastic Liquid Liner to make give your eyes a theatrical lilt is perfect for a Valentine’s Day date. Remember to use it on your upper lash line to make your eyes stand out. We recommend MAC’s Superslick Liquid Eye Liner which comes in six different hues from an eye-warming Defiantly Feline to golden Pure Show which will leave him giddy in his shoes. The felt tip pen like applicator is easy to use and be rest assured that it will stay all night!

Pucker up with a flirty lip gloss which is not over the top but at the same time has a plain sheen with a hint of colour to it. Revlon Colorstay Mineral Lipglaze has that perfect gleam with its strong pigmented colour addition. You certainly don’t have to attempt a pout with this one, it comes naturally!

Bat your lashes with your mascara-ed eyes, as the volume of your lashes will do all the talking! Use a mascara that doesn’t leave clumps on your lashes and make them look longer. Use Maybelline Colossal Mascara Diamond Black which comes with a thick brush and luminous sparkles. Let him drown in your sparkly eyes with this no-fail mascara stick!

Pink Blush just enough to make him blush! If your skin is of a darker tone, choose a darker shade of pink or popping peach. Make sure you don’t go overboard with your blush and blend it with your foundation for a natural look. Include Blushing Blush by Clinique to your make up repertoire – it is light in weight, oil free and comes with a tapering brush which helps to contour the cheeks evenly.

A Thousand Watt Smile is the deal breaker, really! All the makeup would certainly be redundant without that pretty smile. So make sure your teeth are sparkling white for all that smiling you’ll be doing. Fix up an appointment with your dentist and get your teeth cleaned and bleached!
