It is Valentine’s Day eve and of course, a date night. Look your best by ensuring you receive a head-to-toe treatment to bring out every aspect of your beauty. The colour of the day is, of course, red. Red hair highlights, red lips and red nail tips.

Follow these tips for a look that complements a gorgeous red dress:

HAIR

Slinky copper red hair is one of the colours that do justice to almost every skin tone. If you are doing your hair at home, try henna to give that glow-in-the-light sheen.

FACE

A visit to a makeup artist will bring out your best face. Let your lips do the talking by wearing a red pout. Choose the red that works with your skin tone by selecting the correct undertone. If your skin has a yellowish cast, orange-red will work.

If you are deep toned, choose a true red with a blue undertone. Remember: Bring out either your eyes or your lips, not both.

NAILS

If you can match the same tone on your nails to the one on your lips, your look will be both polished and coordinated.
