For my Valentine's Day makeup, I wanted to do something different than the traditional pink and red romantic look. I wanted a sexy look. A vintage sort of pinup look that would be a great look for that hot and steamy Valentine's date! So here I have for you my Very Vintage Valentine's Day Makeup Tutorial!
All the makeup I used, can be found in a drugstore. No expensive brands here! Any palette with white, greys, and blacks will work! You will also need 3 shadow brushes, liquid eyeliner, and a set of fake eyelashes. You can find falsies at any drugstore or beauty supply. Go for big fun ones!
Step 1. From lash line to brow bone, sweep your white/pearlescent shadow. Make sure to get the inside of your eye, it brightens up your whole face!
Step 2. Brush your dark grey shadow into your crease, and then underneath your eye, along the lash line, making a sort of semi-circle around your eye.
Step 3. Brush liquid eyeliner along your top lash line, in a thick line. Extend it out, into a wing shape.
Step 4. Brush your dark grey shadow along the winged part of the eyeliner. Top and bottom.
Step 5. Brush a black eyeshadow into your crease, until you get a great smoky look.
Step 6. Fill in your eyebrows. The thicker, darker, and more pointed, the better!
Step 7. Apply your fake eyelashes. They can be tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, they're a breeze. I actually prefer wearing falsies to mascara!

Step 8. Using a brown contouring powder (or a brown eyeshadow), and a thin contouring brush, sweep into the hollows of your cheekbone.
Step 9. With a fluffy blush brush (say that 3 times fast!), sweep a bright pink blush directly above, and slightly overlapping your brown shade. Blend blend blend!
Step 10. A pink nude lipstick tops off this look. Doutzen's nude by Loreal is the most perfect pink nude I have ever found!
Pair with some bumper bangs, or other pinup hairstyle, a slinky red (it is Valentine's Day after all!) dress, fishnets, and heels. Wow! You vintage Valentine's Day babe you!
Happy Valentine's Day! Have a wonderful time with the person you love!
Peace Love and Valentine's Day Makeup
