Look One: Somethin’ A Little Sultry – Brown Smoky Eye And A Luscious Nude Lip

It’s an irresistible classic and has long been a staple of the eyeshadow world: there’s no doubt that our love for the smoky eye hasn’t faded over time. However, if you’re looking for a fresh take on this soft glam staple that will astonish your Valentine’s Day date and flatter every skin tone and eye color, our brown smoky eye and glossy nude lip is our go-to choice.

Infused with smudgy-sexiness, this is the perfect pick for a cozy Valentine’s dinner – your date will be drooling over you.

tip #1: To give this look a contemporary revival, we’ve substituted the traditional black for more muted chocolate and taupe tones – think siren, but softer. To craft this easy Valentine’s Day look, our Forever Flawless Shadow Palette in the shade Nude Silk boasts a gorgeous range of cool and warm browns, creams and bronzes – everything you need to pull off this luscious look with ease.

tip #2: Gently pat a light neutral shade like ’Sandy’ or ‘Bare’ over your lid, and build the darker shades along your lash line and outer corner, then smudge it out with a small densely-packed brush to achieve that smoky look. Finish with a generous swipe of mascara!

Expert Tip: If you want an even more seductive Valentine’s Day makeup look, add a dash of eyeliner to your upper lash line – whether you want to wing it out is optional.

tip #3: As this Valentine’s Day makeup look is all about the eyes, we’re keeping the lips subtle here. To achieve the glazed nude lips of your dreams, line your pout with a lip liner that’s only a touch darker than your skin tone. Our Satin Kiss Lip Liners have an exquisite range of shades to help you find the right one.

tip #4: Lightly blot a lipstick in a matching tone over the liner, and top with a generous dab of our Pout Bomb Plumping Gloss in the shade Glaze for a kissable pout perfect for Valentine’s Day.

Look Two: Peachy Keen: Pink Monochrome, Fluffy Brows And Dewy Skin

If you’re searching for something on the sweeter side for Valentine’s Day, look no further than our modern monochrome look that features the warmest pink and peach tones. We’ve paired it with perfectly fluffy eyebrows and radiant skin. It’s sumptuous, soft and sweet.

tip #1: This look uses the same color for your eyes, cheeks and lips. Now, we hear you, the same color for the whole look? But trust us, this look delivers a statement that you’ll be obsessed with.

To achieve a delicious-looking blush, sweep the peachy-pink shades from our Ultra Blush Palette – Sugar & Spice over your cheekbones, the tip of your nose, and your temples for the perfect flushed, flirty look. Use our Revolution Pro Lustre Blusher Brush to ensure that the product is dispersed evenly. Blend the same shade onto your eyelids to keep it cute and coherent.

tip #2: Be sure to follow your blush with a generous touch of highlighter on the highest points of your face – your temples, nose, browbone and cupid’s bow above your upper lip are the places that will truly make this Valentine’s Day makeup look sing.

tip #3: Now, let’s tackle those brows! With soft, upward strokes, fill in any sparseness in your brows with a brow pencil or pen. Keep these little dashes soft and natural-looking, and lock those hairs in place with plenty of brow gel. Our Define & Fill Micro Brow Pencil and Extra Hold Brow Glue make a killer brow combo here!

Look Three: Go Graphic Or Go Home: A Stunning Stencil Heart And Matching Lip

We’ve had the sultry, we’ve had the sweet, now add a touch of drama with this stencilled bold-but-easy Valentine’s Day makeup look. For our third and final look, we’re going for the cutest red heart eyeshadow look with a matching red lip: it’s heart-eyes, for real!

tip #1: For this look, you’ll need to grab yourself a heart stencil small enough to fit on your outer lid. If you’re a crafty cutie, you could whip this up yourself, otherwise there are plenty stencils you can find online.

Dazzle your date or bewitch your besties by patting plenty of matte red eyeshadow over the heart stencil under your brow bone. Our Game of Thrones Mother of Dragons Forever Flawless Shadow Palette has a stunning range of ravishing reds to help you pull off this cute Valentine’s Day makeup look.

Expert Tip: To keep this looking clean, be sure to tap any excess product off your brush before applying it over the stencil.

tip #2: Add the finishing touch to your effortless stencil look by pairing it with a matte red lip – ideally the same shade as your heart stencil.

And there you have it! Our three cutest 2023 Valentine’s Day makeup looks to keep you bringing the romantic vibe!
