I reviewed Vapour Organic Beauty's Aura Multi Use Classic in Artemis back in May of 2016 (check out my post here) and it's a product that I always go back to. I am seriously infatuated with its cool-toned berry pink hue! The color is so complementary that it enlivens the cheeks with a natural glow and looks equally stunning on the eyes and lips! In fact, if you are interested in no fuss makeup for Valentine's Day, Artemis will elevate your look and make your life super simple!
To find out how I prepped my skin, check out my current morning skincare routine.
Foundation
Kjaer Weis Cream Foundation in Lightness
This is one of my favorite foundations of all time! It has a satin finish that gives my skin an airbrushed look and just the right amount of coverage. It also wears beautifully on my super dry skin! I like to use either a damp sponge or a buffing brush to blend a small amount over my entire face.
Concealer
Hynt Beauty Duet Perfecting Concealer in Fair
I used a small buffing brush to apply this thick, marshmallow-like cream underneath my eyes and on the areas in need of some additional coverage. This concealer is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! You only need a very small amount because it covers everything and blends like silk!
Bronzer
RMS Beauty Buriti Bronzer
I blended this cream onto my temples, around my hairline, and lightly across the bridge of my nose with a soft stippling brush. I also lightly contoured underneath my cheekbones.
Highlighter
RMS Beauty Magic Luminizer
This luminizer is gorgeous! It adds a natural, champagne-toned radiance to the skin for that perfect lit-from-within glow. I used a dense face brush to apply this cream to the tops of my cheekbones and down the center of my nose.
Blush
Vapour Organic Beauty Aura Multi Use Classic in Artemis
I used my fingers to blend this multi-tasking cream onto the apples of my cheeks for a romantic flush of color.
Eye Shadow Primer
Alima Pure Eye Primer
In addition to preparing the skin for eye makeup, this base nourishes the delicate skin in the eye area thanks to wonderful natural ingredients like olive-derived squalane, shea butter, and clary sage water. I used my fingers to dab a small amount of primer onto my lids before moving to shadow.

Eye Shadows
Vapour Organic Beauty Aura Multi Use Classic in ArtemisParlo Cosmetics Natural Mineral Eye Shadow in Just Cause
Alima Pure Pressed Eyeshadow in Zephyr
First, I applied Artemis over of my lids using my finger. I then went back in with a small blending brush to add Just Cause to the outer third of each of my eyes. I grabbed a fluffy brush to then blend this rich brown hue through the crease of each eye. I also used a pencil brush to diffuse a small amount of Just Cause along my lower lash line. Finally, I used a small shadow brush to add Zephyr to the inner corner of each of my eyes to brighten things up a bit!

Mascara
Lily Lolo Vegan MascaraMascara is a very personal thing. I know that some people absolutely despise this mascara, but I love it so much! No other product makes my lashes look as full and thick as this mascara! It's just the thing for flirty, Valentine's Day lashes, especially when you are as falsie challenged as I am! Haha!
Lip Color

I applied Artemis all over my lips and then topped them off with Magic Luminizer. To create a soft ombre effect, I tried to focus a fair amount of luminizer at the center of my lips.
Happy Valentine's Day!
