Create a romantic look with your makeup

Romance is at the forefront of many women's minds this time of year with Valentine's Day right around the corner – the fact is this Hallmark Holiday is hard to avoid. Do you have a hot date planned with your man? Whether you'll be celebrating with your significant other or staying in with the girls, your makeup can reflect your beauty with a few simple steps.

Step 1
Allow the skin to look soft and seductive with muted and neutral colors – the romantic look shouldn't involve bold shades. Emphasize pinks and sheer hues.

Step 2
Cast away the tired look before you begin your night. Conceal your dark circles with the help of foundation and powder. Lightly blend the product around the area so it isn't visible. Consider using Jane Iredale Active Light as an eye-concealer. Your skin will appear instantly brighter and can become healthier with the regular use of this product. The minerals in Active Light change how the light is reflected off the skin and hide signs of fatigue and dark circles.

Step 3
Create kissable lips with a light pink gloss. A subtle color will certainly perfect your pucker and who doesn't want luscious lips, especially for V-day?

Step 4
Give your eyes a glow for this special day. Even if you don't have a man to take you out on a romantic date, don't let that take the sparkle out of your eyes. Apply an eyeshadow with a little glitter to draw attention to the windows to your soul.

Step 5
While you want to draw attention to your eyes, dramatic hues should be saved for other nights out with friends. Pass on the dark liner and highlight the eyes with a clean sweep of light liner. Swipe the shimmer over the eyes to blend the colors together.

Step 6
Highlight your gorgeous cheekbones with a light layer of blush or powdered shimmer. After blending the shimmer into your skin you will have the flawless look you've been waiting for.

With these simple steps you can create a fantastic look for the day of love.
