Love is in the Air (and on Your Face): 5 Valentine’s Day Makeup Ideas

Darling, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and we simply must ensure your admirer is utterly smitten! Forget Cupid’s arrow – we’re arming you with makeup brushes and a sprinkle of fabulousness! Here are five Valentine’s Day makeup looks guaranteed to make your prétendant swoon!

1. The Classic Romantic:

• The Vibe: Timeless, elegant, and utterly irresistible. Think Audrey Hepburn meets modern muse.
• The Face: Start with a luminous base (Armani Luminous Silk, darling, obviously!). A soft pink blush on the apples of your cheeks will give you that perfect, just-kissed flush.
• The Eyes: A wash of champagne eyeshadow across the lids, a touch of brown in the crease for definition, and a delicate flick of black liner. Finish with lashings of mascara for fluttery, doe-eyed perfection.
• The Lips: A classic red lip is the ultimate romantic statement. Choose a shade that complements your skin tone – a true red, a cherry red, or even a berry red, depending on your mood.
• The Extra Touch: A spritz of your favorite romantic perfume.

2. The Sultry Siren:

• The Vibe: Mysterious, alluring, and a touch dangerous. Think smoky eyes and a come-hither stare.
• The Face: A flawless base is key. Contour and highlight to sculpt and define your features.
• The Eyes: Smoky eyes are the name of the game here, darling. Blend charcoal or deep brown eyeshadows into the crease and along the lash line. Add a touch of shimmer to the inner corners for a touch of sparkle.
• The Lips: A nude or deep berry lip will balance the drama of the eyes.
• The Extra Touch: A delicate pendant necklace to draw attention to your décolletage.

• The Eyes: The focus here is on the perfect cat-eye. Practice makes perfect, darling! Use a liquid or gel liner for a precise flick.
• The Lips: A pink or coral lip will add a touch of sweetness to the look.
