music for lovers and lonely
MULB ACISSEJ YB NETTIRW DNA NWARD
Valentine’s Day is a holiday for lovers and a holiday to remind us single folks that we’re still single (for better or for worse). Regardless of where your love life stands today, nothing adds to the February 14th ambiance like a good soundtrack. Whether you’re like Beyoncé, Drunk in Love the entire night, or more of the sentimental Drake-type, the right songs can really help to put your feelings into words. For this reason, I decided to collaborate with Lisa Mottahedeh, currently interning at Crush Music and APG in Los Angeles, to put together some fire playlists for any stage you’re in, whether this means wooing a new lover, riding solo but proud, or throwing someone’s belongings out a window. All of these playlists can be accessed through Spotify as playlists with the following names:
Amour: Colour Young Lust: Colour Songs for the Dumped: Colour Ridin’ Solo: Colour You may be asking yourself, “Why music? Isn’t love just about finding someone you have a physical and emotional connection with through the conduit of roses and chocolates?” WRONG! Music is one of the most intimate ways you can learn about someone! You can tell so much about a person by knowing what kind of music they listen to. Not only the genre, but through artists within the genre. Just compare a guy whose favorite artists are Lil Uzi, Kodak Black, and 21 Savage to someone who loves J Cole, Chance, and Kid Cudi. It’s a glimpse into two different worlds. You’re learning about someone’s personality, culture, and taste. You might also be thinking, “isn’t it pretentious or snobby to care about someone’s music taste?” and to this I say maybe, but at the end of the day we all have our slightly-ridiculous deal breakers (sandals with socks or a terrible perfume and COLOUR | 7
he/she is gone). Personally, more important than a potential partner’s musical taste is his or her willingness to accept my own and appreciate it to the same extent as I do. As a woman who has told everyone Beyoncé is her idol since the age of seven, I know this is not a foolproof method, but at least someone like Beyoncé is easy to love. Our taste in music allows us to put our most complex emotions into words and to make sense of the things we value. It is what draws some people to Frank Ocean’s lyrics and others to Meghan Trainor’s. If you’re willing to date someone based on other commonalities, be it love of the outdoors or love of video games for hours, it only makes sense that we should consider musical preferences. Unless you met this person at a concert or he has a Pink Floyd shirt he wears every day, this territory is unknown. There’s always a possibility you’ll find out the sixth date in that he only listens to Bullet for My Valentine or Metallica. Now, of course it is important to be open to new experiences and sounds and the extent to which musical taste matters won’t be as important to you if music is on the margins of your daily life. Just remember that certain attitudes you have in one area of life often bleed into others and so it is not crazy to think that our taste in arts can affect and be reflected in an area as carnal as attraction. Regardless of whether you’ll now incorporate your music taste into your new Tinder or Bumble profile as a proactive filtering method, at least try using some music this Valentine’s Day to test the waters and see how your love interest reacts to your obsession with cover songs and acoustic versions of 90s rap. And if you’re spending this Valentine’s Day alone, use music instead to reflect on how amazing you are and give yourself a little love by treating your ears to some smooth tunes. I’d like to give a special shout out to Bianca Jamerson, Sumil Nair, Rishi Patel, Leigh Schreiber and all others who put their time and love into helping compile these playlists.

FAKE LOVE We're celebrating different kinds of love, some staged, some natural. Can you tell which is which?
As Valentine’s day approaches each year, I think a large majority of people find themselves wishing for love, specifically romantic love, full of huge, sweeping gestures and a disgusting amount of roses. Why wouldn’t we? We’re sold the idea of perfect monogamy in books, movies, ads, and the (ex) presidential couple. I’m not trying to judge, because I definitely do the same thing. And although we scoff in public about this perfectly packaged idea, we sometimes still long for it. Coupled with all the crippling doubts about the future (second-semester senior everyone!!) are fears of being alone forever. But, the more I think about it, I have never been alone a day in my life, and I never will be. I think about the important connections in my life. I think of the parents whom I call at least once a week, who live on another continent entirely but still remain excited to keep up with the details of my life, no matter how mundane (Yes mom, I had a strawberry yogurt today. Yes, it was delicious). Our time together is always brief, but always amazing. You have taught me and given me so much. I love you.
I think of my little brother, not so little anymore, gearing up to come to the US for his own college experience (You’re going to miss home! Have fun doing your own laundry!). You are so frustratingly annoying, eating all of the snacks and taking up too much space in the car, and you are my partner in crime (TAM!). I love you. I think of my incredible group of friends, together almost four years. What would I have done without you? You have helped me grow in ways I didn’t even know I could, and have made being at WashU so much more fun than I ever imagined (Here’s to Playa!!). I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I love you. I think of myself. You rock. You have all these people that love you, and you can add one more to that. I love you. Happy Valentine’s Day. Celebrate it with somebody that loves you. You’d be surprised how many there are. AUTHOR: MAYANKA MAHENDRAN PHOTOGRAPHER: TAYLOR BIRD MCGUIRE

How to be Single (on Valentine's Day) J U S T Y N
Ah, Valentine’s Day. The day of lovers; a day of romantic love, rose petals on beds in heart shapes, champagne, sensual music. Heartfelt confessions of love whispered sweetly in your lover’s ear. Hours spent in the throes of passion while in between white silk sheets. Or, at least that’s the idea that’s been advertised through movies, books, etc. since we were children. Since I was young, I've anticipated a love-filled and romantic Valentine's Day spent with my significant other that included all of these things, but I've yet to experience that dreamlike Valentine's day. I will probably not experience it this year either, unless I unexpectedly get swept off of my feet in the 14 days left before the fateful day.
H I G G I N S
But, being single on Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be agonizingly lonely or sad. You don’t have to spend it crying on the white silk sheets with a tub of ice cream, singing “all by myself.” Instead of focusing on the fact you’re currently not committed, focus on these things:
"You have to love yourself before you can love someone else." That's old news, right? Yes, I agree with you, but it’s been told and retold for a reason it’s hella real. If you don’t feel comfortable in your own skin, how can you feel comfortable in a relationship? A relationship consists of two individuals who are both independent and separate beings, who ultimately come together because they both realize that they complement each other, rather than complete each other. You must take pride in being an individual, a whole puzzle, rather than a puzzle piece. Take the time to build your self image and love for yourself before you look for love in a romantic partner. Take yourself on a date this Valentine’s Day - cook yourself a romantic meal and watch your favorite show on Netflix while you eat. Treat yourself to a pint of Haagen Dazs caramel cone ice cream without the tears, and don’t feel bad about the calories you’re consuming. It’s a day of love, so love yourself and allow yourself to indulge in what you enjoy most.
As Hailee Steinfeld put it, “Gonna love myself, no, I don’t need anybody else.” So maybe not as extreme as not needing anyone else, but the foundation is worth thinking about. I'm sure you've heard this before:
While self love is by far the most important kind of love in my eyes, it’s also crucial to remember the other relationships that you have that aren’t romantic. While you may be single, you’re not alone! Turn to your friends COLOUR | 17
and family whom you love. Plan a Palentine’s Day, a Galentine’s Day, or just a normal Valentine’s Day and spend time in the presence of the love that already exists in your life. Because we’re college students, it may be a lot easier to spend time with friends than family while we’re away. In that case, call up your parents, siblings, your extended family, and tell them that you love them. For some of us, our family is made up of those we’ve met at college or during our school years - our closest friends. However you see it, don’t forget to express your love and appreciation for those in your life that have shaped you into the person you are today. Their love has been such an integral part of your life, it would be a crime to not acknowledge the impact they’ve made. You may never be able to convey just how much they mean to you, but you’ll get closer with each time you try! A huge part of being single during Valentine’s Day is seeing happy couples all around, doing cute couple-y things. It's hard not to feel envious of the love that radiates from them, but getting jealous just makes things worse, and will send you straight into self-pity mode. Not the best way to spend the day! Don’t enter self-pity mode! Instead,
channel the happiness that you’re seeing in front of you. At this point in time, there’s so much hate and animosity floating around, so it won’t help anything if you’re adding to the negative vibes. Welcome the love into your heart and choose to be happy.
Surround yourself with love of all kinds This Valentine’s day, surround yourself with love of all kinds: familial love, friendly love, self love, and make the most of the day. Eat lots of chocolate and laugh until your stomach hurts at whatever you’re watching or because of whoever you’re with. Smile, enjoy your company, and stay positive. And most importantly, spread the love.

COLOUR THE LOVE ISSUE
Why not read the book that absorbs you into its pages And the rest of the world disappears If only for a moment These treasure troves seem only to be found In the places where you least expect them In the stories that you never imagined reading In the pages of a well-thumbed book That isn't much on the outside But the inside is a world of wonder It's magical This is the book that you would never throw out The one that keeps you company in the glow of a flashlight Under the covers This is the one that comes before anything else When you think back To all the books you have ever encountered This is the one you know will always be by your side Because you can never escape the beauty it holds within Even when you tell yourself you'll be done You always convince yourself to read Just one more chapter And you fall You fall for the way the words tumble across the page In a wistful sort of way Like they have no cares for where they go next As long as you're there together Every page turn a surprise Sometimes sad, sometimes exciting But mostly you're just happy to have the experiences You long for the weight of it in your hands The spine holding together the masterpiece The cover a locked door and you have the key To unlock the hidden gems That make it all worthwhile Up down roller coaster of emotions Constantly thinking about what happens next And being a little scared Because every turn of the page is a risk A blind leap into the unknown Where the possibilities are endless But you've decided that now Now you are invested And being invested is having faith That the author knew what she was doingÂ
COLOUR THE LOVE ISSUE
And then one day you reach the cliff hanger The resolution The most important moment Just when everything is looking up Like happily ever after is approaching And you turn the page and the next chapter isn't there Only an epilogue and a few choice words about the author Maybe some questions to ponder for your book club This is where falling in love stops being like reading a novel See a novel always has a beginning a middle and an end On a loop contained within the boundaries Of its pre-determined page limits I don't want love to have a page limit I want to take a pen And in my best curly cursive Write out the remainder to my own story I want the relationship to last forever Where the book is only part one of an endless series I want to fill a library with the love that I have So that one day I am sitting down in a big comfy love seat An open book on my lap Reading the tales of How the best stories came from the most unexpected places How the cover had nothing to do with what was inside And how the love story of a lifetime can transcend The simple paper thin boundaries meant to contain us He sees the empty pages towards the end And he takes out his favorite pen with a knowing smile And asks me One more chapter?

After doing my brows and applying eyeshadow primer, I set the primer with a matte cream shade from the Maybelline The Nudes palette. Then I blended out this bronze shade, from the same palette, all over my lids. Make sure to blend well - we don’t want any harsh lines
I already applied my Bourjois foundation with a damp sponge, to give it a natural and dewy finish, and also applied concealer in my usual places, as well as setting powder. Now I’m brushing on some bronzer under my cheekbones, around the temples, under the jawline (basically in a “3” shape on your face), and for a little extra definition, I applied it to the sides of my nose and right under my lip.
2 I applied a brown pencil liner 3 After curling my lashes close to my lash line and uses a smudger brush to smoke out the line. This makes it look a little more natural and ~sultry~. Apply whatever’s left on the brush to the lower lash line.
6 Next, I’m applying a muted
mauve shade to my cheeks, but unlike last time, I’m starting from the back and blending it forward, so most of the pigment is concentrated near my ear and hairline. This technique allows you to “contour” with the blush, without actually having to use contour powder, which, if you’re like me, you find extremely intimidating.
and applying mascara to both my top and bottom lashes, I am applying a nude colored pencil to my water line to open up my eyes and balance out the darkness on the top.

Eyes are finally done, let’s move onto the face!
7 Now is the trendiest step - highlighting! I applied a subtle
highlight to all of the high points of my face - places that I want to lift up. I dusted some highlighter on my tops of my cheekbones, the bridge of my nose, my cupid’s bow (the top of your lips), my chin, and the inner corners of my eyes. After applying a mauve liquid lipstick, we’ve completed the second look! This is a little more glam than the first look, but still quite wearable!

Here I’ve already filled in my brows and 1 added eyeshadow primer. Then I took the

cream shade, Tempera from the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette, to set the primer and make my lids even for the next shades. I also took the shade Burnt Orange and fluffed it into my crease as a transition shade, making it easier to blend the brighter colors later on
Then, I mixed the pink shade, Love Letter, and the red, Red Ochre, together on my blending brush and tried my best to blend out the harsh edges, again, trying my best to retain that cat eye shape. (I got a little too happy with the blending and had to go back with Tempera to clean up under my brow.)
Next, I took the orange shade, Realgar, and with a flat shader brush to pack on as much pigment as possible, I pressed that shade into the inner third of my eyelid, keeping the very inner corner blank for highlight.
At the outer corner of my eye, I stamped the deep brown shade, Cyprus Umber, to add some dimension, and then blended it out into a sideways V shape into my crease - but not all the way in, so we can still see the reds/pinks/oranges!
7
I added the shade Venetian Red on 3 the outer two thirds of my eye and
tried (emphasis on the “tried”) to make it into a V shape on the outer corner, making sure to blend it into the shade Realgar, that we added earlier.
Finally, I took Red Ochre, and smudged it into the outer half of my lower lash line (and connected it to the outer edge of the upper lid) and smudged Realgar into the inner half of the lash line. I added Primavera, a gold, shimmery shade, into my inner corners and lined my eyes with the NYC Liquid Liner and gave myself a wing.
6
Finally, we’re on to the third look (featuring the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette)! I would recommend starting with your eyes, especially for this one out of the three, so it’s easier to remove fallout from the eyeshadow. After the eyes, I moved onto my face. I used a Real Techniques Expert Face Brush for my foundation, because it provides more coverage than a sponge, applied concealer to the usual places, and set everything with powder. Then I added bronzer and blush, but for my highlight, I used the shade Blushed Gems by ELF, by wetting my brush first (with the ELF Mist and Set) and then applying liberally to the high points of my face. Finally, I finished off the look with a bright orange liquid lipstick, Mama, from Colourpop - and we’re done!
