Sexy Valentine’s Day Makeup Tips from the Pro!

Happy Valentine’s Day!  Some believe today’s holiday is a bit over rated, and others are indulging in the moment of love.  Either way, there is nothing wrong with being a little festive, and playing up your look for the occasion.

Not only sexy for Valentine’s Day, but also delectable for any hot date or night out is the classic smokey eye and bold red lip.  It’s just a winning combo that never gets old.

The leading man behind Skinn Cosmetics, Dimitri James, offers a few tips to help you create this look.

It’s in the Eyes: First apply a smokey gray all over your lid, wrapping down and around your lower lash line. Then apply a darker smokey shade of gray or charcoal through the crease. Follow that up with an ivory shadow under the brow bone. 
 
NOW THE WOW: Line your entire lash line and inner tear line with Cleopatra Black Smudge Stick and ooh la la!  For the sexy cat-eye look, apply individual fake lashes to outer corner adding a healthy coat of mascara.
 
Kissable Irresistible Lips: Find the perfect shade of red to suit your coloring and don’t hold back. Go all out on the red lipstick. This year we are seeing heavier eyes accompanied by luscious lips, so don’t be shy!
 
Seductive Scent: Oh, and don’t forget to layer on some LOVE. That is the LOVE fragrance. Start with LOVE bath and shower gel then immerse yourself in LOVE body butter. Finish with LOVE roll on perfume all over your body’s pulse points. But watch out, this fragrance should come with a warning label!
