Valentine’s Look: Soft

This is the first of a few looks that I wanted to showcase as options for Valentine’s Day makeup.

For those that prefer a softer look, you can easily incorporation soft and subtle hues.  This is a very simple look with a focus on blending for very soft edges  I think it would also look pretty if you went with just purples or plums for those that are concerned about wearing pink around the eyes.    I would really encourage you to try though, pink is a gorgeous shade and can easily be balanced with various neutrals.

How do you feel about this look?  Would you wear it out?  Too soft?  Too boring?

    • Thank you Tsahi. I thought the liner was a nice touch, polished without taking over the softness.
