This year Valentine’s Day falls on a Wednesday which means many of us will be at work during the day, and heading straight to a Valentine’s date, or drinks with your besties in the evening.
With the above in mind, we thought you may enjoy two tutorials to provide you with some make-up inspiration. The first tutorial is about how to create a natural nude eye look for day and second a gorgeous smoky eye, going from day to night using products from our eye collection.
The eyes are one of the most popular features of the face to focus on when transitioning from day to night make-up. This may include adding volume with mascara, smudging eyeshadow to your bottom lashes or on the outer corners of the eye for a little drama for your evening. Pair this with a bright lip and you’re ready to go! The key is time and ease to create - a quick make-up update at 5.30pm at the office, or in an Uber en route is ideal to ensure you’re date night ready.
We’ve created the below tutorials using the eye collection products featured in both of our Valentine’s Day Make-up Kits. Each kit includes a range of 100% naturally derived good for you beauty essentials including many of our award-winning best sellers. You can discover more about our two Valentine’s Day Make-up Kits here.
