This look was created for valentines day and anyday you want to feel pretty and sexy.  Beautiful flawless skin with elements of color popping out in a shimmering eye with our lilac love shadow palette.  The look is a modern approach, as opposed to a red mouth and very black eyes.  Remember less is more, a smokey lilac love eye with a neutral sheer lip says modern beauty in a sexy way.  For full details on creating this look go to romantic makeup in our looks section.

As a pro-makeup artist one question that is almost always asked is what blush shade is best?  Well after lots of research I came up with two 100% natural universally flattering shades. 

Application:  using sh. blush brush, sh. kabuki brush or your favorite brush, open lid and dip brush in the lid, tap off excess, remember a little goes a long way, you don't want to appear streaky or have it be too drastic against your skin, so remember to blend, blend, blend.  There you have it, the perfect application and shade just for you!

WANT more respect, trust and affection from your co-workers?

Studies reveal- wearing makeup - in a natural/professional application such as with sh. cosmetics - apparently can help. It increases people’s perceptions of a woman’s likability, her competence and (provided she does not overdo it) her trustworthiness, according to a new study, which also confirmed what is obvious: that cosmetics boost a woman’s attractiveness.
