Deborah LaMia Denaver, Hollywood makeup artist, has teamed up with NIVEA, the official beauty partner of the upcoming all-star rom-com Valentine’s Day, to share her list of top beauty tips this Valentine’s Day. As the head makeup artist for the film, opening nationwide on February 12th, Deborah knows what it takes to look and feel your best.

“As a makeup artist working with Hollywood elite, I am constantly asked about my top beauty secrets for great looking and feeling skin,” she says. “My number one rule is to moisturize from head to toe to give you soft, smooth skin. When it comes to makeup, your skin is like a canvas and the foundation of any great look. The worst thing is to have that canvas be dry, cracked or not looking its best, especially when it comes to special events like a big date on Valentine’s Day. That’s when you want to be your touchable and kissable best!”

Speaking of ‘touchable best’, I recently got the chance to test out some new NIVEA’s products, including their hydrating NIVEA Touch of Sparkle Cream Oil Body Wash. It suds up without a poof, which is super convenient for taking along to the gym. It also has a nice white calla scent and ‘diamond powder’ that leaves skin soft. I didn’t notice much shimmer, but I really liked this stuff! It’s very moisturizing, lathers well, rinses clean, and smells great. Perfect! Suggested Retail Price: $6.49 / 16.9 oz

To stay my ‘kissable best’ I’ve also been using NIVEA’s A Kiss of Moisture and A Kiss of Flavor Lip Care. Enriched with natural beeswax and shea butter, these lippies range in flavors from cherry to passion fruit to pearly shimmer. They hydrate and offers long-lasting protection for soft, kissable lips. Best of all, they’re really nice, high-quality for a super low price. Suggested Retail Price: $2.99!

NIVEA has your gloss needs covered too. Enriched with natural shea butter and vitamin E, NIVEA’s Glossy Lip Care ranges from Natural to Pink to Red. They come in convenient and sanitary squeezable tubes and leave lips smooth with a sheer shine of glossy, moisturizing color. Love! Suggested Retail Price: $3.29
