Local make-up artist, Nicola Gordon-Jones, reveals how you can incorporate Valentine's Day into your big day look

Local make-up artist, Nicola Gordon-Jones, reveals how you can incorporate Valentine's Day into your big day look.

"Valentine's Day is all about romance, and your make-up should reflect that.

"Think smouldering eyes and red passionate lips. To achieve this, you should define your features. Start with your eyes. Black liquid eyeliner will create an elegant and polished look. Add this to your top lid and a few coats of mascara.

"Don't underestimate blusher, as it can transform any look. Use a cream blush that's easy to blend. Find your perfect shade by gently pinching your cheeks and looking for a colour that matches.

"Make sure your lips are soft by exfoliating them. Add lip balm to a toothbrush and run it across your mouth. Finish the look with a red lip pencil followed by a luscious lipstick."
