Valentines day makeup

I am in loooove with valentines day but not for the reasons you think. No it's not because of the obnoxious gifts or the declarations of love or just because it's my first valentines day with my new boyfriend. It's for the fashion. And yes I know how superficial that sounds, Kate Spade said ''Playing dress up begins at age five and never truly ends'' and what better chance to dress up then V day? plus I don't think I ever met a theme I didn't just love (Apart from boats and hoes, that ones seriously been overdone) Valentines day is no exception it has the most beautiful colour palette, blushes, pinks, ruby's and mauves. I think it's the only time that it's acceptable for a twenty something girl to be seen out wearing pink eye shadow, blusher and lipstick!
Here's my valentines day makeup look which can be worn on a date or a night out (because single's should enjoy valentines too).
