Happy Valentines Day folks!

If you are someone like me who has never celebrated this day, 14th of February is never a big deal. My boyfriend and I are spending a laid back day together – no pressure and no presents!

Saying that, it doesn’t mean I can’t have fun with my makeup – I went for a romantic smokey look, which ended up being quite a heavy smokey eye. I pulled the look together with a mauve-pink lip, and I was good to go.

I am a big fan of the Venus Palette from Lime Crime guys. The colours work so well together and since I’ve had it I’ve been obsessed with pinks and burgundys.

Divine in my crease, blown out as much as my little eyes will permit. Icon and Muse to darken that outer corner, and Venus over the lid. I swiped Aura under my brow and darkened my lower lash line with Divine and Icon.

Pygmy Hippo from Fyrinnae was my last ditch attempt to make this look romantic rather than grungy… Either way I am happy with this look and will be wearing this combo again soon I’m sure.

I was also wearing body whip in La Vie en Rose from Future Primitive from their Valentines range, and Pin Up from Common Brimstone, the perfect accompaniment.
