Valentine’s Day is around the corner and I though I should share with you a makeup look to wear that day.  I wanted something different, not so sweet or pink-ish. So I came up with something dark, but kept the lips nude, so there is no worrying about it when you are eating all your chocolates.

In the eyes I applied a metallic rose shade (Buzz) to the crease. In the lid I first applied a deep taupe-mauve (Darkside), bringing it a bit to the crease and then a smoky black matte with rosy red sparkle (Blackheart) below the crease.  I blend it everything to not have harsh lines.  In the lower lid I applied the same two shades I used in the upper lid.  To bring light to the eyes I applied the highlight shade from the Lancome Blush Subtil Palette in “320 Rose Flush” to the inner corner of the eye and the brow bone.

Because the eyes are dark and dramatic I kept everything else  in the softer side.  In the cheeks a rosy blush and the same pearly pink highlighted that I used in the eyes and in the lips a buttery mauve pink lipstick.
