FOCUS ON YOUR EYES:
Play up your lashes by applying 3 coats of mascara on to them, and making sure you separate the lashes while still wet with a clean and dry brush. Is your date at the end of a long day? Switch to a plum or greenish liner, as the blue tints in them will make the whites of your eyes look brighter. Using black eyeliner will only draw attention to your dark circles.
FOCUS ON YOUR LIPS:
Keep them kissable soft by exfoliating with a lip balm which contains a touch of Alpha Hydroxyl acid, and following up with a moisturizer containing petroleum or Shea butter. Don't go in for intimidating red shades, keep the look soft with a pink or berry hue which is not more than two shades darker than your original lip colour.
FOCUS ON YOUR COMPLEXION:
Create a gentle glow on your skin by applying a liquid highlighter under your foundation. This allows just enough shimmer to peep through for a natural looking glow.
FOCUS ON YOUR FRAGRANCE:
Make sure your pulse points, wrists, inner elbows, temples, neck hollow, behind ears and behind knees - all areas which give off heat and release scent - are given attention. If it is perfume you are using, use no more than two drops on each area. Remember that over time you will become desensitized to the smell of your fragrance, so resist the urge to pile it on.
FOCUS ON YOUR SKIN:
For smooth glowing skin all over. switch from your normal lotion and opt for lightly fragranced body oil. If you use a razor for hair removal. make sure you let your skin remain wet for at least three minutes (warm water is best) and use a shaving cream or gel instead of soap. No cream or gel? Even hair conditioner or 0 creamy body wash will work better than soap.
Valentine's Day has become synonymous with pampering. so why not indulge your skin too? Try
a chocolate pedicure or a waxing service at a nearby salon. or try a homemade dark chocolate face mask. Chocolate cleanses your skin leaving it smoother and softer than ever before.
FOCUS ON YOUR HAIR:
Go easy with the hairspray. You want your hair to be touchable and soft. not resemble a helmet. So what if a few strands are out of place? It adds to the natural look you are going in for. You can try a finishing cream to smooth strands and add shine.
Whether you are spending the day with your significant other. or with someone who is an integral part of your life (maybe your mother. your father or your best friend). Valentine's Day is truly special and it is up to you to make it so.
