Essentials for V-day!

Love doesn't need celebration but we do. On St.Valentine's day it is about sharing your affection (materialistically) with your loved ones who could be anyone (not necessarily your bf/fiance/husband). What matters is 'LOVE'...

Anyways without playing the role of Love-guru, lemme come back to being a Beauty-Guru and discuss some of the essentials one must have in makeup, of course, to brighten the day and spice up the evenings. Makeup need not be the most important element, but it could be an accessory to enhance your best.

Makeup for V-day should incorporate colors of love that are all tones and shades of the lovely color RED and PURPLE and then maybe a dash of any other color family to contrast and spice it up. My idea of V-day makeup is reinventing classics and adding a twist to them for eg. A classic contoured eye with cat eye liner where instead of a black one could use a dark chocolate or bright teal, depending on how bold they are.

If you have a shopping agenda to make the day a bit more special or loot your loved one before expression of love then these products may come handy. Just listing them instead of adding some pep talk over each product btw. This is a list of products I would recommend.
