Whether your Valentine's Day plan calls for cocktails with a side of culture—or Netflix night in and a soul-healing scented candle—the best "date night" makeup is effortless. It’s easy to play up the romance with believably flushed cheeks, light-catching eyes, and a blushy nude lip (aka the perfect hint of kissable color). Here, Gucci shares her 3 tips for a charming glow in 60 seconds.
For a lifted flush that dials up the romance...
A dusty rose cream blush blends into skin for a born-with-it, natural flush that brings skin to life. Swirl onto the apples of cheeks (here, Gucci uses Baby Cheeks in Petal) and into the hairline with fingertips for a pretty, lifted rosiness.
For eyes that catch the light…
Gucci’s quickest eye-opening secret includes two staples: A luminous shadow and jet-black mascara. She likes to apply a glimmering peachy eyeshadow (like Bisous from the Eye Pods Rendez-Vous palette) onto her lids and at the inner corners. A rich volumizing coat of Eye Want You Mascara on top and bottom lashes gives clean and fluttery definition.
For pillowy lips with subtle pop....
Mixing pink-ish tones and classic nudes creates a “your lips, but better” effect that’s low-maintenance. Gucci swirls all four shades—Warm Rose, Peony, Café Crème and Mulled Wine—from the Lip Suede Les Nudes palette together to create a sheer "no makeup makeup" tint. Volumizing peptides and nourishing jojoba oil create a dewy finish—and touch-ups require just a few taps of a fingertip.
