Valentine’s Day is around the corner and aside from all the heart-shaped candy, giant stuffed animals and all that other lovey-dovey stuff, it’s a great excuse to experiment with your makeup look. From pretty-in-pink lips to glittery eyes, we put together some of our favorite makeup tutorials on YouTube to help get you in the spirit. Whether you’re spending the day with someone special, some of your best pals or have solo plans, get your makeup brushes and eyeshadow palettes ready for these stunning V-Day-inspired makeup looks.

Warm Smoky Eyes

Influencer @ambervcruz uses warm shades of mahogany and maroon to slay this soft smoky eye look. Full lashes, lots of blush and a classic nude lip make it wearable for V-Day and beyond.

Neon Pink Lips

Red lipstick is classic, but a jolt of neon pink adds a fun flair to your Valentine’s Day makeup. @iluvsarahii pairs hers with a crisp black wing to add some edge to her ultra-girly lip color. Recreate the look with the (very aptly named) Maybelline New York SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick in Romantic.

Embellished Eyes

Look at your special someone with a twinkle in your eye…literally. Influencer @tiffany.jones uses eyelash glue to place a cluster of pearls underneath her eyes for a smoky eye that sparkles. This is an easy way to get in on the embellished eye trend.

Double Wings

Graphic eyeliner is having a huge moment right now, and we love how soft and sultry it looks in burgundy. The reddish hue brings out the warm tones in brown and hazel eyes and makes blue and green eyes look even brighter.

Five-Minute Makeup

If you don’t have much time between work and your V-Day plans, this quick and easy tutorial has you covered. For a glam wing on the go, we recommend tracing your lash line with the dual-ended NYX Professional Makeup Epic Smoke Liner in Brick Fire and smudging the color with the included paddle brush.

Glam Red Lip

A warm smoky eye, slick winged liner and full flared lash are already a match made in heaven for Valentine’s Day. The cherry on top? A classic red lip, of course. If you’re still on the hunt for your perfect red, we recommend trying the L'Oréal Paris Reds of Worth Satin Lipstick With Saturated Color, which is available in six universally flattering shades.
