"Pretty in Pink" in Naked 3

Hello my beauties!! Yesterday was my Lucky 13 year anniversary with Mr. Maquillage and today we're officially less than a month away from Valentine's Day. This season, I'm following last year's schedule and counting down to February 14th with V-Day looks, nails, hair styles and many more romantic and date-appropriate fashions and features. To jump start the series, I've put together a soft "Pretty in Pink" look using the coveted Naked 3 palette from Urban Decay and some of my favorite new products from Motives Cosmetics and HB Beauty Bar.

3. Using a fine pencil brush, outline the outer v, crease and lower lash line with Blackheart. 
4. Blend out the crease and outer v using Limit and Nooner (transition shades) on a stiff dome shaped brush.
5. Highlight the brow bone using Strange and blend with the transition shades.
6. Line the top lash line with a fine tipped liquid liner and wing it out ever so slightly.
7. Add wispy purple lashes and mascara.

NAILS: Mixed Patterns on Pink

Pink nails are my favorite against winter skin. They add a needed dose of freshness and youthfulness to the fingertips and always make the hands appear healthier. Pink is the quintessential color of Romance and Valentine's Day, so it's an obvious nail polish choice for my first V-Day nail art. To give this girly hue some edge, I went for shimmering metallic animal prints and geometric shapes on top.

Products Used:

• Duri Rejuvacote (base coat)
• Lancome Vernis in Love
• Rose Plumetti -- base color
• Etincelle d'Argent -- dark silver spots & triangles
• Etincelle de Neige -- light silver spots & triangles
• OPI Nail Lacquer in All Sparkly and Gold -- gold glitter spots & triangles
• Nubar Nail Art Pen in Black -- used to outline spots and triangles
• Seche Vite Top Coat
• Born Pretty Store Nail Art Brush

LIPS: Pretty Pink-Nude

Products Used:

• Motives lip crayon in Neutral -- smooth, long-lasting formula and perfect for every day wear
• Motives for La La Mineral Lipstick in Nice -- one my new favorite cool-tone Nudes
