Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! I hope you all have a great day, whether it be with friends, significant others, or any other people you love.
The picture above is a look I did for fun, based on Illamasqua’s Valentine’s Day collection “Throb.” If you’re interested in how I did it, you can watch the video below. (Can you spot the special guest who appears?)
For a more practical Valentine’s Day look, see the Soft Pink Eyes Tutorial.
Enjoy!
Beautiful 37-year-old English model Kate Moss will be the new face of Dior Addict Lipstick. In October 2010, Kate Moss was caught applying Dior Addict Lipstick in Charmed Pink No. 578 to her lips on her way to Paris Spring Fashion Week. A few months later, it was announced that she would be the new face of Dior’s 2011 campaign.
The teaser for the advertisement shows Kate Moss stepping out of a car wearing a classic pink shade, a pair of Christian Louboutins, and a deep black manicure.
Here’s an eye tutorial, just in time for Valentine’s Day! For most people, including me, pink eye shadows are difficult to pull off. But one day a year, we get a good excuse to wear them. I made sure to keep the colors soft and wearable.
Enjoy! And happy Valentine’s Day!
