Valentine Day-Look #2, Coach Coupon

*Let me start off by saying sorry for the bad quality pictures, I took them with my iPhone4 because I didn't have my camera with me. Aside from that; I hope you enjoy this post =]*


I decided to post a softer, more romantic valentine look in comparison to my last valentine look using the same techniques I showed you guys in my simple soft neutral smokey eye. You can look back to that post to see a picture showing you step by step instructions. The only difference in this post is that I used pinks and purples rather than browns and beige. Keep reading to see more pictures of the look and products I used on my entire face =]

P.S. Are you in love with Coach or are you searching for a V-day gift for your girlfriend? I included a $100 off promo code below!!! A little warning is that this coupon code might be a one-time use only so hurry and use the coupon before anyone else does LOL.

Step 5:
Keep layering the colours until you get intensity your want. Blend well with

Step 2: Using Motives Foundation Brush, smooth 1 pump of Makeup Forever's (MUFE) HD Foundation in #125. Make sure there are no streak marks
Step 3: Applied Hard Candy's Glamoflauge Concealer in Medium with fingers on my dark spots and under my eyes
Step 4: Using ELF's Studio Line Complexion Brush dust a light layer of MUFE HD Powder over the entire face.
