The coronavirus still has the world firmly in its grip. And that won't change until Valentine's Day on February 14th . So what do we do with Valentine's Day when everything we associate with it is simply canceled? Should we just accept the fact that there will be no kissing, celebrating, or loving this year? No way!
We at UND GRETEL aren't skipping Valentine's Day, but are resolutely declaring war on the coronavirus blues. Under the motto #GETREADYTOKISSAGAIN , we're launching a movement that will wake Germany up and get everyone excited about life after COVID.
To do this, we're focusing on the most beautiful expression of love in the world throughout February: the kiss. Because one thing is certain: WE WILL KISS AGAIN. So it's time to properly prepare with great Valentine's Day looks and celebrate the anticipation.
No.1: The Romantic Look
This look thrives on a rosy glow. And we'll show you how to create it yourself.First up, of course, is our Lipstick TAGAROT ROSE 01 , an all-rounder for lips, cheeks, and eyes. To create a subtle rose tint on your lips, you can simply dab the lipstick lightly on your lips instead of applying it.
But your cheeks and eyes also get a little color with ROSE 01. Simply apply a little to your lower eyelid and cheeks with your finger and blend.
Now comes the glow part. This is where the perfect blend really makes the look perfect. Our IMBE Eye Shadow SEASHELL 04 and BRONZE 03 combine to create a beautiful rosy glow, which you can apply not only to your eyes but also to your cheeks over the light pink base of your lipstick. From a delicate champagne shade to a warm rose gold nuance, anything is possible.
You can set the highlight of the look with our KNUTZEN Lipgloss NUDE SHIMMER 07 , which you can apply to your lips or as a glossy finish to your cheekbones.
SPRUSSE, our eyebrow pencil , lives up to its name: The eyebrow pencil sets freckles as a flirty accent on cheeks and nose.
No.2: The Kiss & Keep Look
This look is all about beautifully accentuated ombré lips. Don't be afraid of it, because it's easier than it sounds.The best foundation for this look is a smooth face. Our TUNKAL Concealer and LIETH Foundation are your best friends here. Makeup first: Apply our natural cosmetics foundation with your hands like a cream. The warmth of your hands will allow the precious oils and pigments to melt into your skin. The result is radiant and even-toned skin. You can apply the concealer to dark circles under your eyes and any slight redness on your face, patting it in with your fingertips.
To keep the focus on the sensual lips, we're keeping the eyes understated. Our WINT Mascara alone creates a sensual look. Our tip: The dark brown shade CHESTNUT 01 also works perfectly as an eyebrow styler. So you have a two-in-one product.
Now for the heart of the look: the ombré lips. To do this, first line your lips with the dark TAGAROT lipstick in the shade DAHLIA 03. You can do this either directly with the lipstick or with a lip pencil like our DIENEN .
Now the vibrant fuchsia shade PINK BLOSSOM 05 comes into play. Dab it directly onto the center of your lips, then simply blend the two colors together—either with a brush or, even better, with your fingers. Once you've tried ombré lips, you'll want to keep the look.
Pssst, a little tip: These two TAGAROT lipstick shades are currently in our GET READY TO KISS AGAIN box . Feel free to spread the word. ;-)
No.3: To USE – Bold and Beautiful
The '80s lip is making a big comeback in 2021. While nude lips are a staple this year, it's also going to be bold and bold. We're celebrating the resurgence of the daring '80s lip with bright pink lips and a glossy finish. Admittedly, it takes a bit of courage to pull off this look, but hey: Those who dare win.
To optimally showcase the bold lips look, it's important to keep the rest of your makeup understated. The best complement here is the perfect frame for your face: WOW BROWS. Your eyebrows remain natural but are neatly shaped. Our SPRUSSE Eyebrow Pencil and FROH Brow Gel are ideal for this. SPRUSSE's brush positions your eyebrows, while the pencil side allows you to outline and fill in your brows. Finally, FROH styles and sets your brows once again.
The color combination of several light and dark brown tones, with their blend of natural minerals, adapts to any brow color. A natural shimmer adds a fresh look. By applying multiple coats, you can also visually fill in your brows. Our FROH in the shade NATURAL 01 strengthens, styles, sets, and conditions. Mascara isn't necessary for lashes.
And now they come – the kissing lips.
The best preparation is smooth lips. So feel free to apply an extra dose of lip balm beforehand. If the cold has roughened your lips, a light lip scrub might even be worth it.
You can easily make this yourself using 2 teaspoons of sugar and 4 teaspoons of honey. Then it's time to show your colors. Choose a beautiful, bold shade of your choice. We'll introduce you to two ideal lipstick and gloss combinations.
LOVE BERRY 07 is a statement in itself. The beautiful berry shade with magenta tones is the perfect base for bold lips. For the most precise application, use a lip liner or our DIENEN Lip Pencil . Top it off with our KNUTZEN in RASPBERRY SHIMMER 06 for a glossy finish. The matching berry shade, with its delicate shimmering pigments, will brighten up any face.
Another beautiful combination for bold lips is the TAGAROT shade PINK BLOSSOM 05 as a radiant base and our KNUTZEN lip gloss in APRICOT SHIMMER 05. The soft, glossy texture with elegant shimmering particles reflects the light and makes your lips appear beautifully full. For an extra boost, you can apply KNUTZEN a little over the lip line.
Whether at home or at a loved one's house, you'll be able to rock this look. We're 100 percent ready for it, too. Let's get ready to kiss again together!
