Valentine’s Day Makeup from Work to Date Night in 3 Steps
Valentine’s Day falls on a Wednesday this year which means that most of us are going from our desk to date night but with time not on our side, how can we take our work look and amp up the glam for Valentine’s Day Makeup without spending tons of time to prep?
Well, one of the best parts of my job as a wedding and event planner is being surrounded by the most talented glam squads in the business so I called Master Makeup Artist, Simone Rosas of Makeover Station and asked for her tips on how to go from work to workin’ it in just three simple steps. So whether you have a hot date or are heading out for a Galentine’s girl’s night out, follow these simple steps for a glam look that can even be done in the office bathroom but is still sure to make someone’s heart skip a beat.
Step 1:
What to pack in your briefcase? “No need to start from scratch,” according to Simone. “This look is all about easy and building on your daytime makeup.” Definitely what we wanted to hear, right? The easier the better in my book and to top it off, you don’t have to cart a bunch of products to work in your briefcase, just a five key pieces and you’re good to go!
Glam tools:
- A reddish brown eyeshadow
- A black eyeliner: Simone’s favorite is Kat Von D Tatoo Liquid Liner and a Pencil Liner for your lower lash line
- An eyeshadow brush
- An eyeshadow blender brush
- Lipstick
- Optional if you may want a retouch of the following:
- Your lighter eyeshadow from your day look if you need a refresh
- Blush
- Mascara
Step 2:
Starting with your daytime look, you’ll begin with the reddish brown shadow and the eyeshadow brush.
First: Add the color to your eyelids and then wing the color up and out on the corner edges of your eyes. Then take your eyeshadow blending brush and soften the eyeshadow on your eyelid and outside crease area. “You don’t want any harsh lines,” according to Simone. “You want to blend it in for a soft look but with a hint of drama.” *Watch her demonstrate and explain how to do it here: (I promise it’s easy enough for even me to do) How to Create a Valentine’s Day Makeup Eye
Second: Use the black liquid liner pen and sweep it across your upper lash line. Then use the black pencil liner to darken your inner lower lash line to define your eyes.
Third: Refresh your lipstick
Optional: Touch up your blush and mascara
Finished Look:
In less than 10 minutes you’ll be date night ready with a vamped up look that doesn’t look like you are exhausted from from being a Girlboss and taking over the world all day!
Happy Valentine’s or Galentine’s Day to all of you – I wish you so much love this year! <3
