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 Valentine’s Day and beyond.Neon Pink Lips
Red lipstick is classic, but a jolt of neon pink adds an electric flair to your Valentine’s Day makeup. YouTuber @iluvsarahii pairs hers with a crisp black wing to add some edge to her ultra-girly lip color. Recreate the look with the (aptly named) Maybelline New York SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick in Romantic.
Embellished Eyes
With this look, you’ll be looking at that 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. Try it yourself using the NYX Professional Makeup Vivid Brights Liquid Eyeliner in On Red.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 Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof in Alkaline Eyeliner Pencil and smudging the color with an eyeliner brush.Glam Red Lip
A 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.Photo: @sandijarquin, Design: Juliana Campisi
