Blushing Beauty

Keep it simple and bring out your natural beauty by applying a light tinted moisturizer, or BB cream. I recommend Garnier's BB Cream. It's super lightweight, since it isn't a foundation but you can build it up where you need it for coverage. It sells for about 12 bucks at drugstores but Amazon sells all the shades for 9 ! 

Add a bit of a natural looking flush to your skin with a cheek stain. Benefit's Benetint blends right into the skin and compliments most skin colors. You won't even feel it there. You can also use it on your lips for a natural "just bitten" color. If you're not into that, just add a bit of clear gloss on your lips to polish them up! For the eyes, apply some mascara and white eyeliner. My favorite mascara of all time is L'oreal Carbon Black Mascara, a lot of celebrity makeup artists use it, it lengthens and thickens! The white eyeliner will open your eyes up :)

 Simply Natural

Maybe you don't like blush. Well, use that bb cream again as your base (and of course concealer if you need to cover any 'major' imperfections). Then, instead of flushing your face, contour it super lightly with a powder just a shade darker than your base color. I suggest using the Elf Angled Contour Brush. It says it's for blush but it works just as well to define your cheeks. If you've never contoured before, just make a fish face and start from the ear. Make a light stroke down from there, following the natural hollowed out parts of your cheek.  If you like to define your brows, do so with a thin brush, remember- don't go too dark! Coat your top lashes with mascara but skip your bottom lashes. Swipe a matte light golden brown eyeshadow on your lids for a very simple look, and if you want to add eyeliner, choose a taupe or brown. Finish off with a rosy nude lip color, like Revlon Rosy Nude.

Peachy Keen

Feeling festive for the holiday but don't want to look like a huge ball of red and pink? 

Use natural peachy/coral blush that blends well with your skin tone. I love NARS Orgasm. Apply this with a fluffy blush brush on the apples of your cheeks. To add your V-Day spirit to your eyes, highlight your inner corners and browbone with a white eyeshadow. Then, swipe a matte rosy pink color on your lids. By using rosy/flesh based colors instead of shimmery neon/bright colors on your face, it looks much more natural. If you're the type who likes to darken your makeup look a bit, add a darker rosy color to the outer v of your eyes. Brown is also another option, just make sure to blend it out well. (Use one of the eyeshadow brush links below to buy a blending brush!) Mascara, liner, lipgloss, and you're done!

HAPPY LOVE DAY! :)
