ugh valentine's day
It is hated as much as it is loved. A consumer-driven reminder of society's obsession with trivial pursuits in romance. Hence my frustration when shops sell chocolate hearts, and mild disgust when couples hold hands. So I eat the chocolate alone with my two free hands.
I never celebrated Valentine's Day. Never cared enough to enjoy myself. However, I take the holiday as an opportunity to use shades I rarely wear. Specifically, pinks. God knows I rarely wear pink.
Here is a Valentine's Day makeup tutorial featuring Anastasia Beverly Hills' Modern Renaissance Palette.

The honour goes to a 'Hey Sweetheart' makeup tutorial I made two years ago. Featuring Baby Bash who didn't know how to draw brows properly. Consider this an updated 'Hey Sweetheart' tutorial. More colours, better blending but just as much cynicism.
What is your go-to makeup for Valentine's Day?
