9 Romantic Makeup Looks to Try This Valentine’s Day

1. Eye Heart You

You’ve heard of wearing your heart on your sleeve, but heart-themed graphic eyeliner is the way to go this Valentine’s Day. Graphic eye makeup looks offer fun ways to add intrigue to your everyday routine and go bold with your unique style. There are many ways to pull off heart eye makeup with graphic eyeliner. All you have to do is choose a few colors that compliment your outfit for the day, and unleash your inner artist. 

This makeup look calls for Valentine’s Day themed graphics, such as flowers or dainty hearts in reds, whites, and pinks. You could also apply colorful eye makeup before drawing on the details, to add dimension to your look. For the bold-hearted (pun intended), embellish your graphic eyeliner with rhinestones and sparkles that will make your eyes pop.

2. Kissproof Velvet Matte Lips

Whether you’ve got someone to kiss, or you’re simply enjoying drinks and dessert with your friends—smudge-proof bold lips are a safe bet for the day’s adventures. If you want to skip repeated touch-ups, it’s best to choose long-lasting, colorful velvet matte lipsticks with waterproof formulas. This will guarantee fuss-free fun with bold lips that can kiss but won’t tell.

3. Eyes for You Only

Want to create a last minute Valentine’s Day makeup look but only have some eyeliner and lipstick? We’ve got you. Here are three simple and quick eye makeup ideas for Valentine’s Day when you’re on the go.

• Siren Eyes

Sharp, sleek, and sultry—this is a trendy eyeliner look that elongates your eye shape, creating a hypnotic shape that’s irresistibly sexy. Choose this if you’re looking to find your match at a Valentine’s Day party.

• Doe Eyes

Soft, sweet, innocent, and pretty—as far as romantic makeup looks go, doe eyes are perfect for staring lovingly into your partner’s eyes over a gentle candlelit dinner and wine.

• Cat Eyes

Feisty, fabulous, iconic—wear this look for a fun night out with your girlfriends or to a first date for a flattering makeup look that encourages eye contact and connection.

4. Naughty in Nude

For a natural yet flawless finish, you can channel this into your Valentine’s Day makeup look with a lightweight base that evokes radiance. To achieve this look, buy foundation that’s lightweight and breathable. This lets your skin show through your base, avoiding the possibility of a cakey and unnatural look.

Creating a dewy base also means investing time into skin prep and choosing nourishing skincare products. It’s a great idea to complete this Valentine’s Day makeup look with nude lips, kohl-lined eyes, and a dewy blush.

5. Smokeshow

Whether you’re grabbing drinks with friends, or going on a dinner date this Valentine’s Day, a classic makeup look you can recreate is an iconic smokey eye for your evening out. Using long-lasting eye shadow for your eye makeup will ensure that it stays smudge-proof all night long.

If you love how a smokey eye looks but prefer wearing vibrant colors, you can also create your own signature romantic makeup look with a smokey eye in different shades of your favorite color. From dark green to blue, red, and purple pigment, the options are endless.

6. Golden Goddess

If you want all eyes on you, turn heads effortlessly with a gold glam radiant makeup look for Valentine’s Day. Start by mixing liquid highlighter into your base and follow up with a luminous highlighter across your cheekbones, temples, eyebrow bones, and the bridge of your nose.

Depending on your undertone, choose a warm golden or a cool bronzy eyeshadow. Don’t forget to add a touch of sparkle at the inner corners of your eyes. Seal this romantic makeup look with a sheer golden lip gloss for a regal finish.

7. Pretty in Pink

Pink is a perfect option for a Valentine’s Day makeup look, with its soft, feminine, and oh-so-romantic energy. Blend a pastel pink eyeshadow across your lids and pair it with a delicate winged eyeliner or some mascara. Finish the look by dusting some pretty pink powder blush on your cheeks for a healthy flush.

A glossy pink lip will tie this sweet look together perfectly. But if your preference is a matte finish, choose a dark pink lipstick instead of a light one that may wash you out.

8. Shimmer Glimmer

Amp up the sparkle for an unforgettable evening! Create a statement eye makeup look this Valentine’s Day with glitter-infused eyeshadow in silvery or champagne tones. Add a light touch of shimmer on your cheekbones and cupid’s bow. Keep the lips understated with a neutral color to let your eyes do all the talking.

9. Lash Love

Throw in some added drama as you bat those eyelids at your special someone this Valentine’s Day, with false lashes that add charm to your features. No more stealing glances surreptitiously—instead, smile and lock eyes to show them how you really feel.

Get creative with these makeup ideas inspired by Valentine’s Day, and create your own version with your favorite eyeshadows and lipstick shades.
