Now I probably won't be doing anything special for Valentine's Day, but if I were, I would definitely go for a soft romantic makeup look.  Here are the makeup products that I think would be perfect for a Valentine's Day date.

face

Whether glowy or matte, a light foundation is super important for a natural look.  I've been using L'Oreal Lumi Cushion foundation (shade W8) almost every day for the last few weeks and love the lightweight and glowy finish it gives.  However, I just recently tried the NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint (in Malaga) and think it is one of the most natural finishes that I've ever gotten in a foundation or tinted moisturizer.  I will have a more in-depth review in the next week or so.

I also think a nice glow is always super pretty and romantic.  I really like the subtlety of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Illuminator in So Hollywood.  It's a yellow-toned gold that gives a soft glow that isn't too over the top.

For blush, a soft baby pink is a no-brainer, so I would wear one of my favorite blushes - Blushbaby by MAC Cosmetics.  I only have like three blushes that I rotate and whenever I want a nice pink flush, I reach for this.  It's a neutral pink and I think it would work on a range of colors because you can build it up for more color payoff.

eyes

Anastasia Beverly Hills has some really great eyeshadows.  I love this Self Made palette because it has a range of colors and finishes.  Pink Champagne is probably my favorite color because it's a metallic silver/pink.  I will have swatches and a review of this palette soon!

I also had to feature Tom Ford Cream Eyeshadow in Pink Haze because it is so pretty and one of my favorite cream eyeshadow colors.  It's sold out, but I linked other pink cream eyeshadows in the widget below.

Of course, full lashes are key to this look, so I would definitely wear Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara.  It's amazing.  I have a more in-depth review of this and my other favorite mascaras in this post.

lips

I love lipgloss, but gloss is super stick and just not very kissable, so I would wear a light lipstick or a long-lasting liquid lipstick.  For lipstick, I'm actually very into frosty/metallic lipsticks, so I'd recommend Plum Dandy from MAC Cosmetics.  It's a super pretty pink that's metallic but in a very modern way (I promise!).

I love ColourPop Cosmetics and their liquid lipsticks are super long-lasting.  Clueless is the most perfect baby pink and More Better is a very pretty berry shade.  One is subtle and the other is bold but both are really pretty.

Hope you have a happy Valentine's Day, no matter what you're doing!
