There’s nothing more relaxing than sitting infront of a mirror with your favourite podcast or show in the background and getting ready. It could be a full glam or a no-makeup-makeup look, but the feminine urge to take your time and do your makeup just hits different.
This Valentine’s Day, celebrate YOU with romantic makeup looks for your next date night or Galentine’s evening in. From soft, glowing skin to bold lips and fluttery lashes, we’ve curated 5 easy-to-follow makeup looks for every occasion, with expert tips from makeup artist Alana Alper.
Flirty Blush and Subtle Lips
“It’s no surprise that blush is having a moment. If you want to go for a more subtle lip it’s a great way to bring colour to the makeup in a flirty way!” - Makeup artist, Alana Alper.
Bold Winged Liner
“A flirty wing is such a flattering way to accentuate your eye makeup! You can play with the size of the wing and also giving it an even more intense cat eye affect by applying your liner in the inner corner.” Makeup artist, Alana Alper.
Classic Red Lip & Dewy Skin
“A red lip is the ultimate Valentine’s Day look. Playing with dewy skin and a softer eye is a great way to have the focus be the lip.” - Makeup artist, Alana Alper.
Keep it Flirty with Lashes
“Lots of mascara and fluttery lashes! If makeup isn’t something you tend to play with regularly this is a great way to emphasize your eyes while keeping things simple!” - Makeup artist, Alana Alper.
Smoke it Out
“A soft Smokey eye is always a great option for Valentine’s Day date night. It’s sexy but doesn’t need to be heavy or over the top!” - Makeup artist, Alana Alper.
