With pink being one of the popular colors of Valentine’s Day, this makeup look proves that this color is to die for. Start with a pink shimmer eyeshadow on the inner part of your eye. Then, switch to a neutral eyeshadow shade to create an ombré pattern. Next, add eyeliner over the eyeshadows used. Feel free to add a thin line of eyeliner on the lower part of your lid for a more dramatic effect.

We definitely had to include a Valentine’s Day makeup look that featured hearts. For this look, draw a heart detail on the inner part of the eye using pastel pink eyeliner. The rest of the eye look uses a darker pink eyeshadow side. This creates a unique take on the color pink.

For another heart-detailed look, start with a glittering red eyeliner and add another thin line on the upper lid. For the eyeshadow, use a neutral glitter eyeshadow to create a contrast between colors. Then, you can either use face jewels or heart stickers to make it look more Valentine’s Day-inspired. If you’re feeling artsy, you can choose to draw the hearts yourself.
Sweet Hearts

Besides using pinks and reds, you can go for this look using multiple colors. To keep the Valentine’s Day theme going, this makeup look is an homage to the Sweethearts candy — a popular Valentine’s Day candy. Use colors like green, yellow, orange, and others and combine them to look like the candy hearts. Also, you can add a tiny heart on both sides of the cheek and use cute heart earrings to match.

To round off the list, this Valentine’s Day makeup look calls for red and black eyeliner. First, use the black eyeliner as the base for the eye look. Then, the red eyeliner is drawn on top of the black one. For a cute detail, red eyeliner can be used on the upper lid and the word “love” can be written for a swoon-worthy look this Valentine’s Day.
