Valentine’s Day Makeup Looks

Valentine’s Day Makeup Ideas

The best part about valentine’s day isn’t the chocolate or the flowers – it’s the chance to look glam and feel fierce, whether you’re celebrating alone, with friends or a significant other.

You’ll probably be celebrating at home this year, so we’ll leave the choice of entertainment and chocolate up to you, but know we’ve got you sorted for makeup looks below.

No Makeup, Makeup

We’re in love with natural looks at the moment – there is something effortlessly elegant about a neutral look that highlights your best features. Stick to a lightweight foundation, or leave your skin bare, and apply some black liquid liner and a nude lipstick shade. If you want to add an extra bit of colour, opt for a flirty pink blush to add some natural flush to your cheeks.

We love how quick this look is to put together for valentines or a date night.

Dewy Skin

Embrace your inner angel and add some glow to your skin this winter with a dewy foundation and a smattering of highlighter on your cheeks, the bridge of your nose, your forehead and your cupids bow. You can beat away any winter skin dullness this with look – pair it with a nude lipstick to give a flirty, girly look. We recommend the metamorphosis velvet semi-matte lipstick in Fes, a pale peach nude for an understated natural finish.

If you want something a little different, opt for a golden shade of highlighter which pairs with absolutely everything in your wardrobe.

Crimson Lips

While red lipstick is a staple of any romantic look, we’re in love with vampy crimson lips. The colour is so intense and striking that you don’t need to add too much to it – the glam lips speak for themselves. Take it up a level and create a multi-dimensional look with a slightly darker lip liner to add an extra “wow” factor and make your lips extra pouty.

We love the intensity of the shade Nigeria – a berry plum red that will last the entire evening.
