Love is in the air, and Valentine's Day is only a few days away.  Whether you plan on having a romantic dinner at a fancy restaurant or simply getting to know each other over milkshakes at the other side of town, it's always good to feel and look your best when you're out and about with your special someone. 

Scroll down and take some love-inspired cues from one of Cebu's budding makeup artists, Jayvert Actub.


Fun and Flirty (Dania)
You're oftentimes confused when it comes to love.  Why?  Because you have so many choices!  You attract a lot of attention from the male population.  Don't worry.  You can't help it.  Just don't go breaking too many hearts.

V-Day Movie: "Valentine's Day"    
V-Day Song: "Today Was A Fairytale" by Taylor Swift
Ideal Date:  Frolicking all day on the sand at a local beach.  Take a  blanket and picnic lunch with you for guaranteed fun time.  Maybe you can share a romantic kiss at sunset. 

Face
-Apply beige eyeshadow on the eyelids.
-Define the upper lids with liquid black eyeliner.
-Use a tawny shade for the blush and apply right on top of cheekbones. Gently blend with bronzer for a natural look.
-Line the lips with a neutral lip liner and apply nude lipstick.

Hair
-To get this fun and flirty look, spritz hair with styling spray and blow-dry with a round brush for volume and so ends are smooth and polished.  Curl hair halfway down to the tips and part it to the side. Use bobby pins to keep bangs in place.

Naturally Chic (Mitz)
A hopeless romantic-that's what you are.  You're a huge fan of Nicholas Sparks' novels and you buy every book he writes.  You were ecstatic when his books started  turning into movies.  You're sweet and funny and any guy would be lucky to be with you.  Now start writing him those love letters...

V-Day Movie: "Dear John"
V-Day Song: "Papwerweight" by Joshua Radin & Schuyler Fisk
Ideal Date: What else?  Getting to know him better at a movie date

Face
-Blend black eyeshadow on the upper and lower lids for to get dramatic, smokey eyes.
-Apply mascara several times to make lashes appear thicker and longer.
-To achieve a rosy effect, apply a pink blush on cheeks.
-Use a frosted pink lipstick shade on the lips for an innocent pout.
Hair
-For a more feminine look, part your bangs to the side.
-Tie hair in a ponytail to one side.  Curl tips of strands with a curling iron.  Finish off with a cute headband.



Uptown Girl (Fretzie)
When it comes to relationships, you like being in control and that includes planning things ahead with your special someone like where to go and what to eat.  You usually read online reviews before deciding on anything because you only want to experience the best.  You love to relish in the comforts and luxurious of life. 

V-Day Movie: "When In Rome"
V-Day Song: "Kickin It With You" by Jason Mraz
Ideal Date: Dinner for two at a classy restaurant where you and your honey can enjoy a breathtaking view of Cebu City while dining on New York steaks.


Face
-Make sure the eyebrows are well defined by tweezing stray hairs.  An eyebrow sculpting gel always does the trick.
-With a brush, apply bronze eyeshadow on the eyelids.
-Use a black eyeliner to line the eyes all around. 
-Choose a dark pink blush on cheekbones.
-Use plum or red shades of lipstick to intensify the lips.

Hair
-Towel dry hair and apply a volumizing foam at the roots to add extra body.  Blow dry.  Apply a curl serum to hold curls in place.  Use a big barrel curling iron to create sexy, bouncy curls.

Romantic Rocker (Raisa)
You like your guy to accept you for who you are and vice-versa.  You're strong-willed and independent and you don't let anything get in your way. 

V-Day Movie: "Leap Year
V-Day Song: "You Got Me" by Colbie Caillat
Ideal Date: You'd rather sing your heart out at a karaoke bar with your sweetheart on Valentine's Day than be anywhere else.  So what if he can't really sing?  Give him a few drinks while he pursues the song list and you'll be surprised.


Face
-Apply black shimmery eyeshadow on the eyelids.
-Use a crease brush to blend any rough edges.
-Apply dark eyeliner on upper and lower lids.
-Use pearl-colored eyeshadow  to highlight the browbone and achieve the illusion of deepset eyes.
-Use a beige blush and blend with bronzer powder.
-Use the palest shade of lipstick you could find, this way you can bring more focus to the eyes.
Hair 
   -Apply a straightening serum to damp hair.  Blow dry.
   -Use a teasing comb to tease the hair at the crown of the head to create a "beehive."
-Flat iron hair to achieve sleek, rocker-chic locks.

Remember, makeup is a great tool for enhancing your natural features and concealing imperfections,  but at the end of the day it's all about letting your true self shine through.  When you do, your love story will always begin right.
