33 Valentine's Day makeup looks to fall in love with

Publish date: 2024-05-07

Whatever your plans are for V-day, there should always be room for a gorgeous Valentine's Day makeup look. You've got to love yourself first, right? So playing with products and feeling yourself  is a smart way to start. When it comes to self care, you can't beat 40 minutes of solo time with your makeup bag if you ask us. So, whether you're going out with your significant other, meeting friends, adding some sparkle to a regular Tuesday or simply staying in to complete Netflix, we'd recommend looking like your best self – however you see fit – while doing it.

As for Valentine's Day makeup inspo, we've already started spotting a few themes that are standing out. Off the back of the monochrome, or tonal makeup look, tonal pink is having a real moment. The trend sees variations of the shade applied across eyes, cheeks and lips for a pretty, cohesive and co-ordinated makeup look.

If cutesy's not your vibe, we've seen the grunge glam trend get a Vally day makeover with smudgy, smoked-out liner and audacious red lips offering up an aesthetic that's a little rebellious and romantic. And since, her character Wednesday Addams is the trend's poster girl, it makes sense that Jenna Ortega is helping lead the charge.

Want to keep things more natural? We've seen plenty of low-key, girl-next-door makeup moments get a subtle glow-up, whether it's glossier skin or extra definition around the eyes. And if you fancy a red lip (classic, for a reason), we've seen some cool remixes that keep it feeling modern and fresh.

Here's some of our favourite Valentine's Day makeup ideas to get you in the mood…
