Keep the romance alive with this retro, pin-up look for Valentine’s day! Enhance the passion with irresistible red lips and sexy, sultry bedroom eyes.

Terrific and touchable skin
Start by concealing dark circles and any blemishes with a touch of MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer and follow up with MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation. The gel texture of these products makes them easy to blend, leaving skin looking even and radiant. They’re also long-wearing so they’ll last as long as your date does.

Smouldering, smoky eyes
Line your eyes with dark eyeliner. Remember if you have light coloured hair dark brown is more flattering than black. Pencil liner works best for this look so that it smudges easily.

Smudge the liner along your lower lashline with an eyeshadow brush or cotton bud. Do the same along the upper lashine blending up until your entire eyelid is covered with a smokey haze of dark colour. Line your upper eyelid again to define. Add mascara to both the upper and lower lashes to create perfect come-hither eyes.

Pretty cheeks
Because the rest of this look is quite strong, your cheeks need to be kept looking natural. A coral or peach-toned blush works well as it keeps you looking fresh and lightly flushed. Sweep blush like Yardley Velvet Soft blush in Cashmere over the apples of your cheeks, along your cheekbones towards your hairline. This will emphasise your cheekbones and sculpt your face.

Nothing says romance like bright red lips
Create the perfect red lip with Maybelline Red Revival Lipstick from Maybelline’s Colour Sensational range. The blue-red undertones of this shade suit most complexions. Start off by lining your lips in a nude lipliner to stop the colour from bleeding. Then apply the lipstick, blot and apply a second coat for long-lasting beauty wear.
