MY TOPSHOP VALENTINE'S DAY MAKEUP LOOK...

Whether it's a date with your other half, or a night with the girls this Valentine's, this is the perfect makeup look. I adore this romantic makeup, from the prettiest manicure details to the perfect rose, kissable lips.


The Sultry Smokey Eye...


After applying my makeup base consisting of foundation and concealer, I applied my Topshop smokey eye eyeshadows entitled the 'Enigma' palette. This palette consists of four neutral brown-toned pigments. These shades are perfect for complementing darker eye colours and creating a soft, seductive, smokey eye. Taking the lighter shades all over the eyelids to create a soft and blendable base, I then contoured my eyelids using the darker tones in the outer corners of my eyes. To emphasise the smokey eye look, I also softly smudged the darker shades under my lower lash lines. Once my eyeshadow was complete and the pigment transitions were blended how I wanted, I curled my eyelashes using the Topshop Eyelash Curler before adding a thin line of Matte Liner in 'Soot' to my upper lash lines, including a wing at the outer edges. To finish off, I brushed through my eyelashes with a few layers of my favourite mascara.

Award Winning Highlight...


For that healthy skin glow, I use the ever-so-popular Topshop Glow Pot. Despite loving both Glow Pot shades, for this look, I have chosen to use the romantic rose gold shade 'Gleam'. Highlighting all the areas that light hits, I dab and blend in the cream highlighter to my upper cheekbones, my eyebrow bones, down my nose, and along my cupid's bow.

Perfect Rose, Kissable Lips...


I'm not really someone that will brave the bold shades when it comes to lipsticks. It's no secret that I love pale pink and peach nude lipstick shades. I found that this lip combination was the perfect compliment to the smokey eye look that I earlier created and it was ideal for achieving a subtle, romantic, feminine lip this Valentine's. To contour and line my lips, I used the Topshop Lip Liner in the shade 'Ceramic' that I found in-store and I could not leave behind. I combined this with the Topshop creamy-finish, moisturising lipstick in shade 'Naturist', for a glamorous and pretty pink finish.

The Prettiest Manicure...



Having painted nails is always a lovely pamper treat for me, I often do them myself at home, but I struggle finding the time these days! I quickly find myself getting fed up of chipping nail polish too soon, and whilst I have my own gel nail kit, I feel that UV light exposure is something I should be careful about. Topshop released their gel nail collection in 2016, and I've waited until now to get my hands on it! Formulated with shellac, and requiring no UV light or special equipment, this three step manicure could be the answer to my problems. Beginning with their gel base coat, I then apply my current favourite shade that I picked out in-store named 'Flumpet'. To finish, I add a layer of the top coat for a high gloss finish. The great thing about Topshop's gel nail collection is that it cures in natural light, not so good if you're having a pamper evening but great for avoiding that UV light.

The Smooth, Valentine's Hair...

To finish off my Valentine's Day hair and beauty look, I straighten my hair using my GHD straighteners and brush it through using my favourite hairbrush, the Tangle Teezer. All polished off with a spritz of hairspray!
