Makeup Mondays: Sweet Valentine [Tutorial]

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, I've put together a look inspired by the romantic hues of the pink defender lily.

[via]

Lilies are one of my favorite flowers (my other favorite is the sunflower) and I love the pink and purple tones in the pink defender lilies - so much more fun to get than roses!

This look is so romantic and is a perfect way to stay festive whether you're swearing off love over lunch with your girlfriends or spending the evening with your special someone.

Products Used

Eyes:  Maybelline Color Tattoo Creme Eyeshadow in Too Cool, Coastal Scents 252 Ultimate Palette in Fancy Pansy, Love Spell, Purple Panic, Violetta, and Candlelight, Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner in Blackest Black, Hard Candy Stay In Line Eyeliner, Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara.

A nude or pale lip will finish this look - a simpler lip balances out the heavier eye makeup.

Sorry it took me so long to post this - I've been having computer issues again so I'm using my sister's MacBook and iMovie is frikken CONFUSING!

Well, I hope you liked this little makeup look/tutorial!  I had a lot of fun making it (not so much fun editing it) for you!

If you want to see more makeup looks/tutorials, just let me know!
