Get Valentine’s Day Ready with These Beauty Looks
Glossy Red Lip

Is there anything more iconic than a red lip for Valentine’s Day? I think not! No matter what your skin tone is, I truly think a red lip can brighten your complexion, adding a gorgeous healthy glow. This holiday, opt for a glossy red lip so you not only get a touch of vibrancy, but it also adds dimension to your makeup. To achieve this look, I start by tracing my natural lip shape with the Fenty Beauty Trace’d Out Lip Liner, followed by the U Beauty Plasma Lip Compound that provides the most gorgeous high-shine finish.
Red Wine Makeup

For a sophisticated pop of red throughout your look, this easy-to-follow red wine makeup tutorial is for you. Start by sweeping a rich red eyeshadow across your eyelids and on the lower lash line. To add definition, create a soft wing at the outer corners using eyeliner, subtly elongating the eyes for a lifted appearance. For a touch of luminosity, tap the Makeup by Mario Crystal Reflector onto the brow bone to catch the light.
To complement the bold eye look, dust a wine-colored blush onto the apples of your cheeks, blending upward for a naturally flushed finish. Lately, I’ve been obsessed with the Dior Rouge Blush. Finally, complete the look by lining your lips with a red shade and topping them with a shimmering gloss for a luscious, high-shine effect. This red wine-inspired makeup is the perfect way to elevate your date night look.

Whatever you do this Valentine’s Day, don’t forget to complete your look with the perfect romantic manicure! This year, I have been all about the at-home nail treatments because it’s easy and affordable. Luckily, I discovered the epitome of a classic red nail polish from Essie just in time for the holiday weekend. Just be sure to seal it with a top coat to ensure your DIY mani lasts!
Raspberry Monochrome

Not exactly a classic red fan? Don’t worry. I’ve discovered berry tones are just as effective. This Valentine’s Day, explore raspberry monochromatic makeup to add a playful punch to your look. Glossier’s newly launched Balm Dotcom happens to be the ideal shade of berry. This multi-use product can be used on your lips, as well as your cheeks for the ultimate coordinating look. To accentuate this raspberry makeup, I love adding a few faux-freckles!
