Valentines Makeup Ideas!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Suffolk chapter.

Become the Ultimate Valentine’s Day Beauty! Valentine’s Day is right around the corner (tomorrow) and whether you’re taken by that special someone, single and ready to mingle, or just having a night out in the city with your BFFs you want to be looking and feeling your best! Here are some V-Day makeup ideas that will be sure to keep you turning heads and leave you looking your most irresistible self:

Eyes
Get flirty by a simple cat-eye. Apply false lashes too that give length to the outer corner of the eye making your cat-eye go from flirtatious to sexy. If you are still looking for more intensity, amp it up with a light smokey shadow.

Skin
Prep your skin with primer, this should always be a must. Then it’s foundation time! Use a concealer as well to cover up blemishes and dark circles. After, sweep a finishing powder over skin to set the makeup into its place. Contour skin by using a non-orangey bronzer across the hollows of your cheeks. Lastly, complete your skin with a highlighter above your cheekbones to give your complexion a luminous glow.

Cheeks
All you need is a light pink or rosy colored blush. No need to overdo it though just one simple sweep and you’re good to go!

Lips
Definitely go towards a subtle light pink, dark pink, or red lip color. I recommend using a lip stain or tint too. They’re both long lasting so you can stay kissable throughout the day and night!
