♥ create pretty, shimmery eyes

Probably the most important part of a romantic face: eyes. (Could anyone fall in love without eye contact?) So while this may not be the moment to experiment with face lashes or paint your lids the colors of a tequila sunset, your eyes still need definition. Use a navy liner to line the base of your top lashes, recommends New York City—based makeup artist Laura Mericer; whose Romantic Story collect ion debuts this month. “The color instantly makes the whites of your eyes whiter, and it works for all eye colors.” Then smooth on a shimmery pastel shadow like lavender, one for spring’s hot shades, to give eyes glint. Yves Saint Laurent Mono Eyeshadow in Parma is a pretty, but not too pronounced, lilac. Line shadow along bottom lashes with a brush, but use your index finger on lids for a wash of color that enhance eyes without overpowering them. Hair hint: When it’s waves you want, only condition the ends of hair, being top-heavy will weigh down strands and leave you with a flat top.

Then don’t underestimate the power of touching him. Any contact, nonerogenous zones included, enhances intimacy. Even a casual pat is powerful Studies show that a waitress who touches client, just by putting her hand on a shoulder, gets a bigger tip.” Who knew?
