Valentine's Day Makeup Tip's from Dimitri James

Dimitri James, the man behind Skinn Cosmetics, has shared with us a couple of professional beauty tips to help you look your best for Valentine’s Day. In the words of this makeup guru, the perfect pairing for the romantic evening are smokey eyes and bright red lips.

To create a perfect smoky eye, first apply a smokey gray all over your lid, wrapping down and around your lower lash line. When you’re done, apply a darker smokey shade of gray or charcoal through the crease and simply highlight your eyebrow with an ivory shadow. The final step is to line your entire lash line and inner tear line with bold black liner. If you wish to achieve sexy cat-eye look, apply individual fake lashes to outer corner and coat them in mascara.

For an irresistible kiss, Dimitri James suggests the perfect shade of red. You should feel encouraged to mix bold eyes with red lips, because this is the ultimate trend for the Valentine’s Season, and everyone can pull off this look. So, don’t be shy.
