Hello Lovelies. Welcome back to Beautiful You!

As it is Valentine’s Day I thought that I would share with you a make-up look that is quick and simple that can be worn during a day date or in the evening! I decided to go with a smoky brown eye because in my opinion it is a lot softer than a black one and you don't want your make up to be too harsh or over the top on Valentine’s Day! Also I tend to go for more of the brown smoky eyes rather than grey as my eyes are more of a grey colour and I feel that brown compliments them more and this palette has more browns than greys! 

To create the smoky eye I used three shades from the Naked 3 Palette, which is amazing, the colours are so pigmented and so blend-able, it is incredibly simple to create a statement eye with this palette! For this look I used an Elf jumbo eyeshadow stick for the base just so I had an even tone to my eyelid to enhance the colours of the eyeshadow! Then I used Dust: the light pink shade, Limit; light brown and Nooner; the darker brown used in the crease to create the depth of the eyes, all from the Naked 3 Palette.

I then paired the simple brown eye with the MAC blusher in Peaches as I wanted to go for a neutral lip and I thought that an orangey toned blush would complement that more than a pink toned blush. For the neutral lip I used Revlon Colour Burst Lip Butter in Peach Parfait with Tanya Burr's Champagne Toast lip-gloss over the top to create that shine!
