Makeup for Valentine's Day: step-by-step technology with photos

On Valentine's Day, girls are faced with a difficult task - to choose just one makeup option that will harmoniously complete the image, emphasize all the advantages of their appearance and hide flaws. But there are so many ideas! From a combination of “naked eyes” and red lipstick, pastel shades of eye shadow to luxurious smokey eyes and oriental-style winged eyeliner.

Today we introduce you to the technology of creating makeup in a romantic style, in which the eyes play the leading role. The combination of burgundy-pink, golden, purple and sand shades of shadows helps to make the look playful, expressive and deep, drawing all the attention to the eyes. To complete your eye makeup for February 14, a black pencil along the lash line on the lower and upper eyelids and lengthening mascara will help.

Glowing skin, accentuated natural eyebrows, blush and nude pink lipstick are what you need to complement your beauty look for February 14th and you can’t go wrong. Anna Kravchenko demonstrates how to repeat beautiful makeup for Valentine’s Day step by step.

Step 1. Model before applying makeup.

Step 2. Shape the eyes using the universal pencil ELAN professional line Eye Liner Pro in shade E 02 brown.

Step 3. Shade the pencil using a professional barrel-shaped brush ELAN professional line Face No. 15. The special shape of the brush allows you to quickly and effortlessly shade both creamy and dry textures. Apply brown eyeshadow as a base.

Step 4. Add more colors - apply purple and burgundy shadows to the upper eyelid, light gold and brown to the lower eyelid. Use ELAN professional line Eye Liner Pro in shade E 01 black to color the eyelash line on the lower and upper eyelids.

Step 5. Apply a weightless, high-coverage foundation, ELAN professional line Skin Pro Foundation, and conceal imperfections with the creamy ELAN professional line Skin Pro Concealer. For a thin, uniform coating we use a professional duo-fiber brush ELAN professional line Blackwood No. 10.

Step 6. Apply Lawless highlighter (Afternoon Delight) using an angled ELAN professional line Face brush No. 17. The shape of the brush perfectly follows the curves of the face and ensures an even, soft distribution of products.

Step 7. Using the ELAN professional line Blackwood brush No. 8, apply Stila cheekbone corrector (Medium) and Pony Effect blush. High-quality black squirrel bristles ensure soft application and perfect blending.

Step 8. Shape the eyebrows using a powder mechanical pencil ELAN professional line Brow Pro in the shade Dark Brown. We comb the hairs with a brush located on the back of the pencil and fix it with long-lasting eyebrow gel ELAN professional line Clear Brow Gel.

Step 9. Draw the contour of the lips with universal lipstick pencil ELAN professional line Lip Liner PRO in shade L 07, and add nude gloss to the center. We paint the upper and lower eyelashes with long-lasting mascara ELAN professional line Lash Pro Mascara. Mascara simultaneously lengthens eyelashes and gives them volume.
