New Tutorial - Shimmer with a sexy Valentines look

Last time I did a Valentines tutorial I chose to create a make-up that was soft and feminine, more on the girl next door style.

This year it's different, I wanted a look that was more smouldering but still classy.


If it's a first date think about how you want to be perceived, go for a natural understated foundation instead of a caked mask. Guys do actually notice these things and if there's anything about make-up that puts them off it's troweled on orange foundation.

You know the drill, choose a shade either the same colour or 1 stop darker than your actual skin colour and you'll be fine.
