You are getting ready for a special occasion, such as going on a date with your boyfriend or friends on Valentine’s Day, and you are on a dilemma whether to rock that awesome makeup tutorial you saw on youtube or go for the “barely there” style. The answer is simple. Always choose the “subtle but fancy” makeup.
Subtle makeup does not mean that you put on mascara and you are ready to go. In fact, you will have to try harder to nail a makeup that makes you look beautiful but not extravagant and highlights the features of your face without changing them.

Step 1: Preparation
Prepare your skin by applying a moisturizer with circular moves. Wait a few minutes for your skin to absorb it and then, using a foundation brush, apply your foundation. This help your makeup last long and will keep your skin hydrated.

Step 2: Contouring and Highlights
Using a makeup sponge tap the concealer under your eyes, on the center of your forehead, on the top of your lips and at the center of your chin to bring light on your face. Then, contour your cheekbones, jawline, forehead (near the hairline) and nose to give your face a more definite shape. Finish with some blush on the your cheeks.

Step 3: Eyes
Shadows in earthy tones are the perfect way to add tension on your eyes without exaggerating. Use a bronze shadow and apply it over the upper lash line and the outer corner of the eye. Apply a more intense shade of bronze at the center of the lid and a light beige shadow at the inner corner of the eye. Finish with 2 or 3 layers of mascara.
Step 4: Lips
Pick a lipstick that highlights and accentuate your lips. Soft pink or nude is probably the best choice but you can also nail a red lipstick, it all depends on your outfit and the occasion.
