Beauty: a word that has plagued any girl’s subconscious since the beginning of time. Nowadays, to achieve this standard girls have been turning more and more towards makeup. This is no exception on Valentine’s Day as everyone is getting ready to meet the girl or guy of their dreams.
On this special day, people think that to impress someone, they have to play up their image with excessive amounts of makeup. In this frenzy, girls typically end up looking overdone. However, no one is ever going to be impressed with someone who has eye shadow up to their brows and blush that looks like they’re going to the circus.
All this over excessive makeup conveys that one is trashy and easy, which if that’s fine then go ahead. This is definitely not a turn on though when one is looking for a long term commitment which is usually what one is aiming for on a Valentine’s Day.
If you are looking for a look that says “hey, let’s carry on a relationship that will last past the end of February,” then perhaps a little more natural amount of makeup should used. Makeup is meant to play up features, not cover them.
To create that natural look, only accent the eyes with eyeliner and mascara instead of caking on blue eye shadow. Instead of adding on heavy amounts of blush, use only a touch to give a natural glow. If you want to step it up, add some nude eye shadows that help contour your eyes. Remember, with makeup less is more.
Next time when you are in front of the mirror getting ready for the date of your life, don’t reach for the eccentric blues and greens. Give yourself a natural touch of beauty, not one meant for a night out but a day with someone special. Though this may sound as sappy as a candy heart with “i love u” printed on it, it’s the beauty on the inside that counts.
