Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! And whether you’re celebrating Singles Awareness Day, Valentine’s Day with your long-time sweetie or a date with a newer love, it’s all about fun and romance. Of course, it’s time for me to think about makeup!
In my humble opinion, there are three keys to Valentine’s Day makeup:
1. Non-sticky lipstick
2. Glowy skin
3. Guy-friendly makeup
My husband has long-complained about sticky lipgloss. He’s just not a fan of getting a quick kiss and coming away with shiny lips and a nice shade of whatever I was wearing. And who can blame him! He even got me a Sephora giftcard for Christmas and gave it to me under the sole condition that I use it for only non-sticky lip products. 🙂
So on Valentine’s Day, it’s more important than ever to make your makeup a little easier on your man. I see women go wrong all the time on holidays with more makeup. More eyeshadow, more blush, more lipstick. That’s not necessarily the direction you want to go. “More” doesn’t equal dressed up.
Here’s my Valentine’s Day makeup kit:
1. Smashbox highlighting pen in either Gold or Pearl, depending on your look and skin tone
2. NARS matte lipstick (the most non-sticky lipstick I’ve ever tried)
3. An extra swipe or two of Dior Extase mascara
4. And, because it is a sexy holiday, Yves St. Laurent eye palette that does my favorite smokey eye.
Smokey eye + golden glow from the Smashbox = total winner.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
