Beauty mantra: Beauty trends to keep in mind to sizzle on Valentine’s Day

If you are looking for makeup inspiration to kick the night off with a bottle of bubbly and your significant other, here are some trending looks to play around this V-Day:

Whether you are heading out on an intimate dinner date or planning to paint the town red, neutral hues always look on point. A super easy and understated look for the night, subtle nude is one of the biggest trends making a comeback from the 90s and looks flattering on anyone.

Dramatic with a pinch of extra, smoke show is a gorgeous look for a wild night out. A well-done smoky eye never goes out of style. Keep your ensemble and hair simple to match the bold black hues of the eye shadow.

To achieve that inner radiant beauty use hues of pink. Bright, flirty and full of sugary fun, pair a sparkly light pink eye shadow with a vibrant pink lip colour. Highlight your cheekbones in a C to complement your shimmering eyes.

A classic red and pink makeup is always a safe bet because it works really well. However, for an offbeat mix of colours, use unconventional shades such as purple. While bold purple and burgundy lips may not be everyone’s cup of tea, it sure is a striking colour theme.

For a head-turning bold look, don’t shy on going all out with your makeup. The combination of a dramatic winged cat eye and bold dark red lips is just drop-dead gorgeous. Keep your face clean and blush minimal. Highlight your cheekbones and nose for a stunning V-cut. Use a creamy red lipstick that will stay with you as you pout through the night.

Who doesn’t enjoy a bit of glamour on V-Day? But instead of going the extra mile with all things glittery, stick to a modern romantic, metallic look. A soft pink palate for the cheeks will pop under the highlighted cheekbones. Use the same shimmer near your tear ducts to make them pop. A soft pink and brown metallic eye palate will accentuate well against a deep black liner on the upper eyelids. Use a glossy pink lip-gloss to finish off your modern Valentine’s Day look.
