The following article will give you helpful makeup tips so you can achieve that super sexy look on Valentine’s Day and turn heads wherever you go.
Exfoliate

What is your preferred way to celebrate Valentine's day?
Moisturize
It is essential to moisturize every day to keep your skin looking soft and supple. A great way to hydrate your skin is to drink plenty of water. However, you need a quality moisturizing product, as well. There are so many quality moisturizers available these days and you can even opt for a scented lotion like the ones you can find at Bath & Body works or Victoria's Secret. Make sure to smell awesome for that special someone! And what’s better than a lotion that not only soothes your skin but smells sweet and sexy, as well?
Primer
Even if face primer is not a part of your daily facial routine, it is a must for special occasions such as Valentine's Day. Primer work to even out and smooth your skin tone prior to applying foundation and/or concealer. It also helps to minimize the appearance of fine lines and pores. You will notice how smoothly your foundation will glide over your skin once you have applied qualitative primer.
Foundation
Every woman wants a flawless complexion and foundation is one of the best ways to achieve this look. You should choose a foundation that is only slightly lighter than your natural skin color. And use a large soft brush to apply the bronzer to your face and lightly dust it on. Nobody wants their face to look caked with thick foundation, especially on a romantic occasion such as Valentine's’ Day!
If you want a sultrier look, you can lightly spritz a moisturizing spray over your face once your makeup is fully applied. You can even carry a mini spray in your purse to reapply during the evening to maintain your super sexy look!
Blush
Even if you don’t normally wear blusher, never underestimate the power of rosy cheeks. Cream formulas are most effective if you want a more natural look as they go sheer and are easiest to blend. To find the shade of blush that best suits your natural skin tone, pinches your cheeks ever so gently and matches the blush to that color.
Fresh-Faced Glow
We have everything you need if all you do for the Valentine's Eve is curling up on the couch and watching romantic movies with your beloved one. You can add some punch to your natural look by using mascara and a golden-rose eyeshadow swipe. And if you need a glow that looks if it was recently applied, use a moisturizing highlighter balm.
Bronzer
Applying bronzer to your cheekbones and temple—the places where the sun visibly touches your skin—is the best option for achieving this luxurious golden glow look. You can also apply bronzer along your jaw bone to enhance the effect. Bronzer will create a magic lit-from-within glow and definition for your cheekbones...
Eyelashes
You might not be a fan of curling your lashes, but it does make your lashes look extra sexy. It’s easier than you think and can be perfected with some practice. Using a quality eyelash curler, gently pinch your lashes at the roots and slightly slide along the length, squeezing with a pulse-like motion. Then apply your favorite mascara by wiggling the wand back and forth at the roots of your lashes. Then pull the wand straight up along the length. If you want to elongate and separate your lashes, you should apply three coats. But don’t forget to comb the mascara through while it’s still wet with a clean brush. And for a super sexy look for Valentine’s Day, you can opt for colorful or sparkly mascara.
Eyeshadow and Eyeliner
You might want to stray from your everyday natural eye makeup colors and opt for a super sultry look on Valentine’s Day. Don’t be afraid to try bold and daring new colors. There are plenty of sparkly and glittery eye shadows available in both liquid and powder form for a fun and playful look. You can also practice a more dramatic look to define your eyes with darker eyeliner.
There are many easy tutorials available online for makeup tips such as how to apply eyeliner as well as some dramatic looks for Valentine's Day. This includes sparkly lip glosses and eyeshadow as well as our best under eye concealer.
Lips
You should as well as your skin. You can use a lip balm that contains alpha hydroxy acid. Also, remember to moisturize using a creamy lip balm that contains ingredients such as shea butter and ceramides. Do not opt for heavy waxy formulas, especially those that are flavored as they can actually make your lips even drier.
Of course, you will want to go bold when it comes to lipstick. One rule of thumb, however, is to not go for a shade that will make your look washed out. Try to find a shade that compliments your skin tone. Deep mattes are always sexy. And don’t underestimate the power of a good matching lip liner to make your lips look even fuller!

Cleavage
Don’t forget to moisturize the skin on your cleavage, as well. We tend to neglect this area, especially during the colder months. But it’s important to keep all your skin hydrated to prevent dry spots and flaking. If you are wearing an outfit that shows off your cleavage on Valentine's Day, apply some radiance powder with a big, fluffy brush to make your skin glow!
Fragrance
For Valentine’s Day, you might want to avoid your everyday perfume and opt for something a bit sexier. Apply lightly to your pulse points as these give off natural heat that releases the scent. These include your inner elbows, wrists, hollow of your neck and behind your ears and knees. Do not over-apply or your perfume will be overbearing and off-putting!
