What to wear? Hairstyles! Makeup! With Valentine’s Day weeks away, us girls have the ultimate date night to plan.
Revving Up For Valentine’s Day
Are you looking forward to sprucing things up? {I know I am.} Whether it’s a new relationship or a relationship qualifying for sophomore or senior status – we wanna rev up his engine.
Guess what?! I have a suggestion {or two} for you – Go matte (1) and reach for fresh nudes and flirty pinks (2).
Throwing Nude Lips Into The Mix
Typically I’d say reds and pinks. But this year – let’s throw the freshness of nudes into the mix!
I mentioned in my 2014 Beauty and Fashion Predictions post that nudes were bringing the ‘it-factor’ for 2014. So Valentine’s Day is a chance for you to flex your 2014 Beauty and Fashion muscles. Planning to be in a dimly-lighted, overcrowded restaurant? Or planning to be at your kitchen table surrounded by candles and highchairs? It doesn’t matter…
Your lips should be front and center.
Powering Up Your Pout
Eye and lip makeup are the easiest ways to add drama to the face. Applying a little lipstick being the fastest and most dramatic {in my opinion}. Not to mention the wow-oh-wows you can get from applying the right lipstick with nothing else.
There’s so much power in the pout!
Inspiring. Approved. Affordable.
NYX Cosmetics, a very affordable and youtube-approved makeup brand, has a excellent lineup of matte lipsticks. Here’s a few of their red, nude and pinkish-nude shades for inspiration.
These lovelies are ideal for any Valentines Day makeup, day or night. And there’s something for everyone in this spectrum of nudes, pinks and reds. They are good quality lipsticks that are priced below drugstore too! If you are a makeup artist or lipstick collector, you can purchase all 22 matte shades for $80. That’s about $3 a tube!
