Happy Hearts' Day!
No matter what your status is at present, there's always reason to celebrate Valentine's Day! God gave us the capability to love and let's show our dearest family, friends how much we love them. A simple "Thank You" and "I love you for who you are" is worth more than flowers and chocolates!
Speaking of flowers and chocolates my version for this year's Valentine's Day has to do with the colors of chocolates and flowers. Pinks and Browns! My favorite eyeshadow color combination!

Here's the AMW Version for V-Day!
AMW Diagram
Fill your brows and prep your lids by using an eye primer of your choice to make the eyeshadow last longer and prevent creasing.
For this look, I used Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer and filled my brows with Tears Line & Mode Autobrow in BR02.
Step 1:
Using a flat shader brush, I am using Leow Cornell 3/8 Maxine's Mop which is very similar and a great dupe for MAC239, I pat on Joppa's Mineral eyeshadow in Anastacia.
Step 2:
I am liking the Bobbi Brown Pretty Palette, so I'm using it again. With a crease brush (in this tutorial, it's the MAC217 brush), I am applying it on my lid area going a bit beyond. Adding the Chocolate Caviar Eye Shadow and blending it as I go on.
Step 3:
Using Pink Chiffon from the same palette, I used the same MAC217 brush to blur out harsh lines by blending the Joppa Anastacia Eyeshadow and Bobbi Brown Chocolate Caviar Eye Shadow.
Step 4 and 5:
I line my upper lash line with E.l.f. Cream Eyeliner in Black with my Ecotools Eyeliner Brush. For the lower lashline and waterline, I am using Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes 1L. I also tightlines using the same MUFE Aqua yes.
Instead of curling my lashes and using multiple coats of mascara! I've decided to use the ES A10 Lashes (from KKCenterHK) I got recently as I'm testing their comfort in terms of usage! It does not fail! Though the lashes are quite thick and a bit long, it's very lightweight!
I used Sassi Eyelash Glue (Dark) gifted to me by an anonymous reader 2 Christmases ago :) Thanks dear!
I actually wore this look for a nice dinner party!
Now let me share to you what's on the rest of my face...
For the Face:
I highlighted my undereye aera with The Body Shop's Lightening Touch 04 and my cheekbone area with Clinique up-lighting liquid illuminator.
I set the whole face with Revlon PhotoRready Translucent Finisher inn 001
For the Cheeks:
Maybelline clear smooth Minerals in Gentle Pink
Maybelline clear smooth Minerals in Gentle Pink
using Thevi Blush brush
For the Lips:
top with Stila Lip Glaze in Raspberry
Pull my hair up and wear that huge smile and you're ready to melt someone's heart *winks*
The well-thought packaging includes a gorgeous red chopsticks, I love using chopsticks on hair and here's how I do it.
The Tokyo Allure collection is perfect for the Chinese New Years and Valentine's Day! All red for luck and love!
The collection also includes gorgeous Japanese-inspired jewelry line! Tokyo Allure's Red Ruby Collection which features earrings, necklace and ring pieces that are made of silver tone with ruby. I like to wear this on a special night out!
