Valentine's Day Eye

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching us and while it's something I never personally look forward to, a lot of people go out on dates and have lovely evening's with their partners. And if you're doing that, of course you want to look your best! I've created a really simple eye make up that looks pretty, girly and it's quick and easy to do!
Main Eyeshadow - No7's Stay Perfect Eye Shadow in Antique Rose
You can see this eye shadow swatched here. It's a really pretty pink colour with a hint of gold shimmer running throughout it. It's easy to blend and lasts throughout the day without creasing.
Highlighting Eye Shadow - Urban Decay's Sin
Quite possibly the most beautiful highlight colour I've ever seen. It's a beautiful muted down champagne pink colour that has gorgeous silver shimmer running throughout it.
Concealer on Waterline - Benefit's Eye Bright
A wonderful concealer that really makes the eyes pop. It's great for using on the waterline as it makes you look like you've had to best nights sleep in the world!
Eye Liner on Tightline & Upper Lash Line - 17's Falsifeye Liner
At first I wasn't too keen on this eye liner because it's not very pigmented. But it's great for this look (and every day make up) as it isn't too strong and looks pretty and natural.
Mascara - Revlon's Double Twist Mascara
Big, fluttery lashes are perfect for Valentine's Day especially because the chances are, you'er going to be flirting quite a bit! This mascara is wonderful because it lengthens, curls, volumises and also separates the lashes.
I'd pair this eye with flawless skin, a pretty Barbie blus (such as MAC's Pink Swoon on the left) and a nude, pink lip (such as MAC's Lazy Day on the right).

If you try this look out, make sure you send me pictures! What are you doing this Valentine's day? Would you like to see more make up looks?
