Valentine's Day Makeup Tutorial: Natural and Flirty (pic-heavy

I did this tutorial using one of my best friends, Lulu, as a model. She came over to Vancouver from Victoria for a swim meet so I took the chance and asked her to model for me! We had a blast :D

Anyways, down to the tutorial:

Step 1:
 

I applied concealer under her eyes, and everywhere it was needed, including between her brows and around her nose as well as on her eyelids. Then I blended it using an angled foundation brush.

 

And don't forget to prime lips with lip balm.

Step 2:
 

I used the same angled foundation brush to apply and blend eyeshadow primer.

Step 3:

 














I then set everything with loose powder--but use it sparingly, because this is a glowy, natural look.

Step 4:

 














Using an angled eyeshadow brush and this shimmery, golden champagne shadow, I brushed it all over Lulu's inner corner, lid, and browbone.

















Step 5:

 














Then I tightlined along her upper lashlines using a dark brown pencil liner.

Step 6:

I curled her lashes, and then applied a coat of lengthening and volumizing mascara for flirty, bat-worthy lashes without the overdone feel of falsies.

Step 7:

 














Then I used my finger to pat on a bright pink cream blush to emulate a natural flush.

Step 8:

 














And of course, luminizer on top of the cheekbones for a fresh glow.

Step 9:

 














The finishing touch was Revlon's Colorburst Lip Butter in Peach Parfait, a high-shimmer butter with a soft peachy-pink tint.

 Look at her, all ready to break hearts with her natural but flirty look!
