- - No comments
Watch this video tutorial for a make-up look that you’ve never tried before, colourful eyeliner on your lower lash line – just in time for your big Valentine’s Day date.
The most romantic night of the year calls for a make-up shake-up. So break out of your usual routine of wearing a cat eye and opt for flirty flash of colour on your lower lash line instead.

3. Brush highlighter onto the top of the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose and on Cupid’s bow

Highlighter is your complexion's answer to radiant skin. It attracts light, creating the illusion of height (hence adding it to your cheekbones). Apply it to the parts of your face where the sun would naturally hit.

4. Using a small soft brush, apply highlighter to the inner corner of the eye

Applying an illuminator to the inner corner of the eye creates the illusion that your eyes are bigger and brighter. Plus, it adds a soft, romantic touch to your overall look.

7. Use brown shadow along the lower lash line

Along the lower lash line, apply your brown shadow. Then line your waterline with an eye pencil before applying a navy shadow along your lower lash line with a flat liner brush. Layering is key if you want to make the most impact.
