Beauty: Daytime and Nighttime Valentine's Day makeup looks

Makeup artist Shelly Chung

Ladies, Valentine's Day is here! That day where we can be romantic and flirty (and corny in our red-and-white outfits) as we're showered with plump roses and all the darn chocolate we want.

For those of you who have dates with a longtime beau or a new suitor, Shelly Chung, makeup artist who specialises in wedding, portfolio and personal makeover looks, has got you covered. 

She's giving Kingstonian Lifestyle an exclusive and she's sharing with you a daytime and nighttime look for whichever hour of the day you might be having a date with that lucky guy. 


For the daytime look, Chung says to keep it light and fun.




Being that you'll probably be outdoors for the daytime date, Chung didn't want to go for anything too jarring under the bright, Jamaican sunlight. She stuck with a lot of natural-looking shades that compliment any skin tone.

She used copper eyeshadow on the lids, mixing it with some feminine pink undertones, and defined the model's crease with a deep brown shade.

In addition to using a very light, pink lip gloss, Chung smoothed on a raspberry-toned blush to bring out the cheekbones and to keep the look flirty and fun.

For the nighttime look, Chung says go for bold! 




Nighttime dates can range anywhere from a quiet and romantic dinner to flirting and sparring at a swanky lounge or club. For this setting, Chung opted for a bold, blue smoky eye with nude lips.

To create this sexy, va-va-voom look, she blended deep but shimmery blue shades on the lids and smoked the outer corners of the model's eyes with black eyeshadow.

To brighten up the eyes, Chung swept gold eyeshadow on the inner corner of the model's lower lids and lined them with a black pencil.

She also brushed on some bronzer on the cheekbones but was sure to keep it light to avoid overpowering the eyeshadow.
