Beauty Trends To Wear This Valentine's Day

If you're searching for the perfect look for that big date this Valentine's Day, this is for you: my rundown of the hottest, freshest looks for 2012, straight from the runway. Feminine, flirty looks have been a big hit this season and what better day to try it out than Valentine's Day?

Dewy skin
 Alberta Ferreti

Glowing, dewy and even wet look skin has been a big hit on the runway - so moisturise well and skip the powder. Achieve this look using pearly highlighters and a tinted moisturiser - try Benefit's High Beam  for sculpted supermodel skin.
Tip: No tinted moisturiser? No problem. Mix your usual moisturiser and foundation together in your palm for a customised skin glow.

Red statement lips
Jason Wu

From dark, sultry reds to daring orange hues - whatever the shade, bold, red lips are back. There was a huge range of styles on the catwalks, but statement matte lips were among the most impressive.
Tip: Lip tints and stains are great for this look as they allow you to build up colour, blot and blend to a long lasting matte finish.

Nude nails
 Versace

This season we're taking a break from loud, intricate nail art and going back to basics - nude polish tones supply your nails with a touch of sophisticated glamour. This style looks gorgeous with shorter, natural, rounded nails.
 Tip: For those of you with very pale skin and/or poor circulation, choose a polish with peachy tones for a healthier, brightening look.

The kitten flick
  Valentino

Make up artists have been pretty liberal with the eyeliner in recent months - the kitten flick is a more subtle look than the traditional cat eye, with a thin line starting from the center of the eye.
Tip: For a clean, smudge-free line, ditch the kohl and use liquid or gel eyeliner.
Babydoll lashes
Betsey Johnson

Full, fluttering lashes are perfect for Valentine's Day and are right on trend - get the look with a rich black volumising mascara (NYX Doll Eye Mascara works great for this style) or fake it with strip lashes.
Tip: For super customised beautiful lashes, try individual extensions - many salons offer these for a professional application, or, if you've got a steady hand, do it yourself with Eylure.

What trends will you be wearing this Valentine's Day?
