Valentine’s Hair & Makeup Tips from the Experts

Eugenia Weston, founder of the always-hip Senna Cosmetics, recommends a little sparkle on the eyes, or a strong red lip to bring you out of your ordinary routine and make you feel alluring over dinner tonight.

“Red lipstick is an instant way to look romantic and feel super feminine,” she said.

Tom Ford’s Private Blend lipstick, in Smoke Red, is such a glamourous red in a luxury formula that won’t crack or curdle on your lips. You want them moist and sexy tonight.

The lipstick is long-wearing but hydrating. Read more about Tom Ford’s Private Blend lipstick here.

And if you are lucky enough to have scored Senna’s uber cool Eye Blings before this romantic evening, Eugenia recommends dabbing them over powder eyeshadows. The unique product gives “a really wet, sexy look to the eye and always makes wrinkled lids look smoother.” We love ours in Diamond and 24 Karat. Read about Eye Blings here.

As for hair, Mill Valley’s Anotonio Venegas advises a long loose ponytail cascading to the side. “Men like long hair and they like it down, but a loose ponytail allows the neck and shoulders to show gracefully, while on the other side you have the tousled hair and the ear, an erogenous zone which men find really sexy.”
