Valentine’s makeup just like Emily in Paris

Conjure up the romantic fairy from within you by using makeup inspired by the Emily in Paris series. Soft pink tones complemented by glitter will underscore your beauty on Valentine’s Day and beyond, perhaps on a walk around the city, illuminated by the light of the streetlamps. Whether you’re by the Eiffel Tower or simply at home, this makeup will make you feel as if you’re in the most romantic place on earth. Here’s how to do it, step by step.

Step 1

Comb your eyebrows and draw on individual hairs to create a fuller-looking shape.

Step 2

Use the darkest shade from the palette for the corners of your eyes and apply it slanting upwards to give the optical illusion of stretching your eye to achieve a cat’s-eye effect.

Step 3

Use a pinkish shade with a soft shimmer for your upper eyelids.

Step 4

Apply a light metallic shade with a pencil to the corner of your eye and to the upper and lower lids to brighten your look.

Step 5

Highlight your eyes with mascara.

Step 6

For a greater cat’s-eye effect, use stick-on lashes. You can use all the eyelashes, or split them in half and apply the rear part.

Step 7

Now continue preparing your skin and applying brightening makeup. Always choose the shade that most closely matches your natural skin tone.

Step 8

Shade your face using corrector, which you can also use to hide imperfections.

Step 9

Apply liquid blush in an unusual way by applying it over your nose in order to create a sun-kissed effect. Gently pat in with your fingers or spread with a brush. Use a pinkish shade.

Step 10

Pat some liquid highlighter onto your cheeks and the end of your nose to complete your radiant look.

Step 11

Use a satin lipstick in a soft shade for your lips. For easy application, first frame your lips using a contour pencil.
