Shine, Shimmer and Sparkle in Red

Getting ready for the most perfect date of the year is a huge task. We know that picking out the right outfit this February is your biggest worry. So let us help you decide your new makeup products. A little sparkle hurts no one, so let’s get ready for the month of love. We have come up with the best make up picks for Valentine ’s Day. Update your glammed up look with these products. Let your beautiful face glow and your cheeks flush, a pretty pink but most importantly let your personality stand out brighter than all the glitter.

Adding a little shine to your eyes never hurt, your eyes are the first feature your significant other is going to look at when they’re looking at you, make worth their while, let them be mesmerised by you. We suggest you rock the PAC pressed glitter eyeshadow in the shade vampire. It will make your eyes look drop-dead gorgeous and If you’re too shy to shine then dap some subtle yet pretty nudes from Huda Beauty’s nude eyeshadow palette and pair them with a glitter eyeliner of a gold shade called Hey Mr DJ from Too Faced.

Define your face structure, cheekbones and nose tip to a sleek and sexy manner with a soft but golden highlighter from Bobbi Brown in the shade bronze glow. Then add some perfect pink blush to your cheeks in the shade Downboy from The Balm.

Paint your lips red in shade single ladies with a metallic lipstick from Nykaa. If matte isn’t your go-to choice then let lips opt for a soft pop of burst lip gloss from Colorbar.

If you’re all about a natural look we suggest a nude shade lipstick like Whirl from M.A.C and a fleek a jet black beyond mascara from benefit cosmetics. Finally, end your makeup with a dewy look and spray Pixi’s rose glow mist. This will make your face glow and give it a rosy glow.

“Adding a little sparkle to makeup can always look fantastic but using glitter products can be tricky. These are some golden rules I stand by, glitter is a strong statement, always use soft colours like white, beige, copper or brown. Either let your eyes shimmer or your lip, never apply glitter on both. Always avoid glitter near your water, the texture is too harsh for your eye. Here are some of my favourite glitter products, Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow, Lime Crime Diamond Dew Glitter Eyeshadows, Heavy Metal glitter eyeliners by Urban Decay, Cream and Powder Eye Color Duo by Tom Ford, and NYX Professional Makeup Metallic Glitter.” Saba Fatima, Makeup Artist Instagram: sabby.makeup

“Glitter is the essence of an elegant look. A simple way to use glitter is to apply a thin coat of a glitter primer to the eyelid and blend it. Then add the glitter of your choice with a finger if you’re a beginner, make sure the primer is damp so that glitter gets stuck on. You can repeat the process till you get the desired shimmer look. Some of my favourite glitter brands are Stila glitter eye shadows, Lit cosmetics loose glitter, NYX loose glitter and Urban decay glitter.” Mahdiyeh Darvesh, Makeup Artist
