It's been a whirlwind prepping for the festivities, and afterwards, celebrating the festivities. I've had a fantastic break and am back to work recharged, and taking things a little slower now. I'm always thankful to be able to have such downtime to rest and catch up a bit on life.
Valentine's Day this year was a quiet affair (as usual). We don't quite like falling into the marketing shizzle and hiked-up prices of Valentine's Day, so we decided to postpone Valentine's! ;)
Not letting up on the make-up, here's a very simple look that even the busy you can achieve for those special dates!
Here are my holy grail products that I've used in this look. If you've noticed, I've now switched to using shade Rosy for Stay Up Foundation, as compared to my previous post where I've used Beige. I do quite like the pink-ish rosy tint that this shade offers, and it does blend quite well into my skin without making it look too fair!
Foundation: Etude House Stay Up Foundation in Rosy
Blusher: Nars in Orgasm (love this!)
Eyeshadow Palette: Kate
Eyeliner: Etude House Play 101 Pencil in #48
Eyebrow pencil: Ettusais
Lip Balm: Etude House Kissful Lip Care
Lip Stick: Etude House Dear My Wish Lips Talk in PK003
With my eyebrows filled in, and foundation done up, with a light brush of blusher.
Filling in the eyes with Silver -> Gold-Beige -> Dark Brown to create a gradient. Also, I usually apply eyeshadow a little higher for my eyes because of my hidden double eyelids. I recommend coloring it just a little higher than usual to line your eyes, just to show that dash of color when you open up your eyes, and not to overdo it!
I chose a loud sultry Pink with red undertones to make a statement for my dates!
Definitely brings the focus to your lips ;)
An easy and achievable look just for that date night out! ;)
Also, Etude House has recently organised a Valentine's Day Cocktail Party at their Flagship Store @ Wisma Atria! It's a pity that I didn't have time to head down amidst the Chinese New Year craze.
There's live make-up demostrations, and new product launches in time for Valentine's Day & Chinese New Year! :) I'll let the pictures do the talking. For more pictures on what went down, check out Etude House's Facebook album here!
