Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette

Laura Kate Lucas - Manchester Fashion, Beauty and Lifestyle Blogger | Valentines Makeup Look

I know, I know; Valentine’s was last week and has totally passed now so I’m a little late on the makeup inspo for you guys! I actually just got quite inspired by seeing other people’s makeup looks online and it made me want to play around with my palettes again. This is a quick and easy look I put together, using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette – one of my old faves.

My go-to makeup at the moment is quite minimal; a matt-but-glowy base with a winged eyeliner (shock horror) and nude lip. Pretty basic for someone who has plenty of eyeshadow palettes in her beauty drawers! I tend to go through phases of doing looks with eyeshadow so I thought I’d pick them back up again and have a play.

Valentines Inspired Makeup

This look isn’t necessarily just for valentines; it was the pinky tones with a splash of sparkle that made me think it would be perfect for a valentines date or galentines night out. I think a fluffy lash is also quite romantic. I had extensions here but I don’t usually wear these. A great way of getting a longer lash without false lashes is serums – this Borboleta lash serum is a really good option. I really notice it helps with length after applying regularly for a few weeks, so this is definitely something I’d recommend if you want to grow your lashes a bit more!

You could also go more dramatic and bold with the colours for this look, or alternatively go for something more neutral. I find that’s the beauty of this palette, and I often take it away with me for this very reason; you only need the one palette for multiple looks. I think this look is somewhere in the middle, but with added glam from the glitter liner in the crease.
