I’m excited for V-Day weekend because it gives you an excuse to go out and have a date. It can be with your significant other, or your best friends who want to prove that the holiday isn’t just for couples.
Whether it’s a casual movie night or a more adventurous trip with your friends, you can also use Valentines Day as an excuse to pull off a nice makeup look. We suggest a no-makeup makeup look that can you can glam up easily when the date lasts until morning cocktail hour. For this, grab these six makeup items.
PerriconeMD No Foundation Foundation
The last thing you want to worry about when out having fun is a foundation that moves everywhere because of sweat, cakes up, or gives a weird flashback in photos. Try the PerriconeMD No Foundation Foundation for a lightweight, no-fuss coverage that gives a dewy complexion and evens out discoloration. PerriconeMD. Available at Rustan’s The Beauty Source, Glorietta 4.
Bobbi Brown Cheek Glow Palette in Pink Opal/ Homecoming Pink
When it comes to carrying makeup to touch up with while on the date, it helps when they are compact enough to fit the cute bag you’ll be bringing. Pick up the Bobbi Brown Cheek Glow Palette that offers a cream highlighter and lipstick in a small palette. You can use your fingers to touch up the high points of your face and your lips. Bobbi Brown. Available at SM City North EDSA.
TooFaced Primed & Poreless Powder
To keep oiliness at bay, set your foundation and touch up with this compact powder. This is good as it gives no additional coverage, so you don’t have to worry if you’re heavy-handed. It comes with a sponge applicator so no need to bring a big brush either. TooFaced. Available via SephoraPH.
Benefit Cosmetics Goof Proof Eyebrow Pencil
Structured and thick brows that take three to four products to create are great… if you have time and patience to do it. For those who just need to fill in the gaps, this pencil from Benefit will do the trick with a slanted tip that makes it easy to do thin, hair-like strokes. Benefit. Available at Greenbelt 5.
BECCA Ombre Nudes Eye Palette
An eyeshadow look in warm, neutral tones is one of the most flattering looks on almost all skin tones. It’s also easy to pair with either a glossy lip or with a dark pigmented shade. If you can’t deal with too many shades of taupe, BECCA’s Ombre Nudes Eye Palette offers five shades that will make it easy for you to find the best combination for you. BECCA. Available at Adora.
EYEKO Black Magic Mascara Deluxe Mini
EYEKO is one cool girl brand used by the likes of Alexa Chung and this mascara is one reason for that. Offering drama, volume, and long lasting curl, this mascara is infused with keratin and shea butter to promote lash growth. It is also waterproof so you won’t be bothered with smudging as the date goes by. EYEKO. Available via SephoraPH.
