The key to keeping a soft look is to use sheer and muted colors and not to overdo any area of your face. You can buy different sheer, beautiful pinks at any cosmetic counter that will look good on all different types of skin tones, no matter whether you are pale white or a deep brown.

If you can only buy one new product for your new look make it a pink lip gloss with brown undertones. This color looks gorgeous and fantastic on everyone.

To create your new look curl your eyelashes and apply either black or brown mascara, making sure you don’t use too much. After washing and preparing your facial skin the way your do, softly contour your cheeks with a very pale, sheer pink blush just on your cheekbones, keeping it light. You need just an accent of a neutral pink to give your face a lift. By just dipping the blush brush lightly into the color and then tapping it off before applying it gently helps to prevent too much. Now you add a lip gloss to your lips and your are set too go.

For that sexy makeup look you can add individual lashes to your lash line. This look is very sexy and flirty without being overdone. These few extra lashes will help to open your eyes and give your face life. To get that sparkly, glossy look, you can apply a very sheer shimmer shadow to the lids to help brighten your eyes. Using a sheer cheek color and a deep red lipstick or berry lip stain to help give the effect you want to achieve.

If the smoldering eye look is what you are after for Valentine’s Day, you use just enough dark shadow at the ends to soften your look to make your eyes pop. This look is very pretty as well a very clean and romantic effect. To create this effect use a pale pink shadow on the lid and a sheer charcoal at the corner ends of the eyes. You can also add a bit under the eyes themselves. Making sure you use a very light touch. Remember the key to the smoldering eye is to make sure that you apply any color that is a neutral powder before anything. This is to prevent any oil will attach to the dark color and give you an inconsistency in your total effect. The next thing is to apply your mascara and comb your eyebrows. To get a nice matte mouth use a deep ruby lip color. Any heavy glossy lips will detract from the dramatic, smoldering eyes that you are trying to create. If you have a ruddy skin tone, choose a warmer, yellow red instead. Although the jewel-toned lipsticks will look great on anyone.
