The Sex-Factor: Which Hot Look Will You Be Wearing This V-Day?

Whether you’re spending the night with your beau or going on the prowl with your lady friends to find Mr. Rightnow, you’re likely feeling the pressure to amp-up your regular look for Valentine’s Day weekend. At styleswept, we are equal opportunists when it comes to makeup. In fact, I bet I could form a strong debate on the merits of almost any beauty product on the market. My love and adoration for all things beauty, however, has left me unable to decide which is the sexier look this V-day: the smoky eye or the bold lip? It's the most epic battle of hotness to date. Give us your take after the jump.

I’ve read in a few magazines, that shall remain nameless, that seem to think guys are sometimes put-off by seriously bright lipstick. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had the opposite experience in my field research. My guy friends don’t quite know how to articulate it, but whenever I wear my favourite fuchsia lipstick one of them always points to it and says something the effect of “I like this.” Granted, they have no intention of making out with me, but it’s clear that their attention is being drawn to my lips. Never a bad thing when you're looking for a smooch!

Smoky eyes are drop-dead sexy, there is no denying that. However, if your guy (or your potential guy) is into the natural look, all that time spent blending and highlighting may not be worth the effort. (On that note, click here for smoky eye kits that make getting the look a cinch.) There is just something so sultry about a smoked-out eye application, especially in one of this year’s less expected shades like purple, grey or indigo. As an added bonus, you won’t have to worry about messing up your lipsticks when things get hot and heavy.

What do you think? Will you be playing up your eyes or lips this Valentine’s Day? What did you base your decision on? Have an entirely different plan? While you’re at it, tell us what your planning to do and—more importantly—what you're planning on wearing! Either one of these looks intimidate you? Got a foolproof trick for mastering either one? An amazing product we should know about when trying to get these looks? Sharing is caring my stylish friends.
