Hello my lovelies! I hope all of you had a great Valentine’s day and spent it with your loved ones. I didn’t have a significant other to celebrate Valentine’s day with, but I did have another love that I got to spend time with on February 14th. Yes, I’m talking about my Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette. I’ve mentioned this palette in a previous post, but I honestly can’t get over how much I love this product! It was such a wise investment because it’s become my most used palette that I own. It might not sound like a big deal, but if you have met me personally then you probably know that I’m a huge makeup junkie. I have way more eyeshadow palettes than I care to admit, so to say that Modern Renaissance has become such a beloved item in my collection is pretty significant, at least to me. What I love about this palette is that it has classic warm brown tones in it, but it also has vibrant colors of red, pink, and even a beautiful burnt orange. So in honor of Valentine’s day, I decided to be a bit more daring with my eyeshadow and use those red and pink tones for my makeup look that day. Although Valentine’s day is over for this year, I figured I’d still post about the makeup I wore just to give any of you some inspiration for those who may want to experiment with these colors or if you want to recreate it for Valentine’s Day next year. To create this pink and red toned Valentine’s Day makeup look, I only used 3 of the shades from this palette. For my crease I used the more magenta pink shade in the top row, called Love Letter (very appropriately named for this look). To start building some depth and add more of a red finish to the eyes, I used Venetian Red in the outer corner and the inner corner as well to really make the look dramatic. Since the colors in this palette are very pigmented, I had to use my blending brush a lot to clean up any harsh lines and to mix both Love Letter and Venetian Red together. For the center of the eyelid, I used my favorite shade in this palette, Primavera, to add some sparkle and complete the look. I want to thank my good friend, Ryan, for taking these amazing photos of me! I hope this post inspires all of you to get outside of your comfort zone with your makeup! Makeup is an art and there’s no right or wrong way to wear it. Dare to take a chance and do something different, not just with makeup but maybe even in your romantic life as well. Ciao!
Xo, Abby

How do I do this in such a way so that I do not look like I have pink eye?
