Valentine’s Day is only a few days away and that means we ladies only have a limited amount of time to get ourselves looking gorgeous (not that we aren’t already). So what’s a girl to do with only a small time frame? Panic! Just kidding…here a few quick tips.

If you were planning on getting your hair done by a pro but forgot to book your appointment, no need to worry. Save a few bucks and do it yourself, or ask a friend to help. For you curly tressed gals, let your spirals flow. Add a few bobby pins to keep them out of your face and you’re all set. Have gorgeous, wavy hair? Add a little mouse, air dry and you’re ready to go! If you have pin straight hair like I do, just run the flat iron through to tame those pesky fly-aways and throw on a cute headband.

As for makeup, keep it simple. Focus on one area and leave the rest looking natural. My main focus are my eyes, so I make sure to have them pop out, while toning down my lips and cheeks. The key to making your eyes stand out is eyeliner. Liquid liner is fabulous, yet tricky. Practice a few times before your night out. Then, finish off with a couple coats of mascara to really open up your peepers.

Depending on how much free time you have, skip the nail salon and just use a clear coat. Make sure to shape your nails first. If you have a little more time, try out a scarlet red polish. Use a base coat first, apply two coats of color, and finish with a top/shine coat. You can repeat these steps for a quick pedicure too!

Last, but not least, your outfit! This one’s a bit tough, since it all depends on what you’re doing and where you’re going. Again, focus on one are here; if you’re showing off your killer legs, cover up a little more on top. You want to make sure you’re dressed appropriately for the venue, so ask your date or friends if there’s a dress code. And since it’s Valentine’s Day, feel free to throw in a little something red.

Hope you all have a fabulous Valentine’s Day!
