Pretty Valentine’s Day makeup ideas
Soft Eye Makeup and Bright Rose-Hued Lips
Balance bright, rose-hued lips with soft, shimmery eye makeup for a dreamy, vintage-inspired look. First, apply a brown powder eye shadow or liquid one with a little shimmer to make your eyes sparkle even more. I like to use an angled eye shadow brush and dark brown eye shadow to create the wing instead of a pencil or liquid liner. Top with lengthening mascara and complete the look with a liquid lipstick that will last through dinner.

Lilac Lids with Shiny, Pink Lips
Pink and red get plenty of love around Valentine’s Day, but I think lilac is a gorgeous color that deserves more attention. A liquid eye shadow will give maximum shine here. Apply the shadow all over the lid, stopping above the crease, following the shape of your eye. Extend it just beyond the outer corner and top with black liquid eye liner. Pair with a soft peach or pink lipstick with a little shine.

Winged Eyeliner and Light Pink Lipstick
For this 1960s-inspired look, apply a light brown shadow all over the lid, then a darker brown on the outer corner and crease and blend. Create a winged liner shape using a black liquid eyeliner. Choose a pink blush and light pink lipstick for a sweet, retro look.

Light Gold Eye Shadow with Red Lipstick
Nothing draws more attention to your pretty pout than a bold red lipstick. To create the illusion of fuller lips, choose a creamy, shiny formula over a matte lipstick. Neutral brown eye shadow works fine with this look, but I prefer a slightly shimmery gold eye shadow for a bit more glamour.

Warm, Natural Makeup with a Nude Lip
Let your features shine with a more understated makeup look. Apply an ivory eye shadow all over the lid, then use an orange shade in the crease. Lightly line the top lash line with a deep burgundy eye shadow, then top with a few coats of lash lengthening mascara. On the lips, try a sheer rose or nude lipstick and a clear lip gloss.
