8 Valentine's Day Makeup Looks and Hairstyles

Rosy Cheeks and Peachy Eyelids Valentine's Day is a celebration of warmth and love, so what better way to express that than with this dreamy makeup beat featuring blushed cheeks and peachy eyes by Los Angeles-based makeup artist Robin Black. Even though this look was originally created on a fair-skinned complexion, Black says that those with medium and dark skin tones can give this look a try as well. "For medium-tan skin tones, try pairing a warm tangerine or copper eyeshadow color with a cool raspberry-colored cheek," she tells Allure. Meanwhile, Black says those with deeper complexions should go with "a cool burgundy eyeshadow" and "[a] warm red cheek."

Mermaid Waves and Foiled Red Lips "For this look, I was really thinking of The Wizard of Oz, the yellow brick road, and those famous ruby red slippers," says Lizzo's go-to makeup guy, Alexx Mayo. "I layered multiple shades of gold to give a metallic dimensional look to the eyes, and then, I used a loose red glitter over lipstick to create the ruby red lip." If the idea of loose glitter sounds too intimidating, try using a sparkle-flecked lipstick, like Pat McGrath Lab's Blitztrance Lipstick in Blood Rush, for a similar finish. Eye-wise, we recommend Allure's Best of Beauty-winning Make Up For Ever Artist Color Eyeshadow in the Gold Nugget Glitter.

A Messy Bun and Bejeweled Eyelids Give your Valentine's Day look an ethereal touch this year by adding jewels to your eyelids. Makeup artist Janice Daoud created this dazzling beat with "nail-art rhinestones from Amazon." When deciding where to place the rhinestones, Daoud said she "followed the bridge of [the] eye, [then] applied each stone with lash glue and a tweezer." Prior to placing the jewels on the lids, she prepped the eyes with her favorite primer, MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly. After creating the perfect canvas for a look to impress, she reached for Roen Beauty's Mood 4 Ever Eye Shadow Palette. She decorated the inner corners of the eyes with "the lighter shades" and the outer corners with "the deeper shades." The pink shade Elated was [applied] in the center for a pop of color that would tie into the green stones," Daoud tells Allure. Like with any makeup look that's all about the eyes, do not forget to add a swipe of mascara. "Finish off with mascara to watch the look come to life," she says

Textured Waves and Terracotta Lips If you're not a fan of traditional Valentine's Day colors, opt for an unexpected red lip moment instead. "Uoma Beauty's Badass Icon Matte Lipstick in Tina is a warm, smoldering red that brings passion to any moment," says Frederick, who created this dreamy look on Ciara. "This fiery color will definitely ignite Valentine's Day fun." To get this hair look at home, simply use a flatiron to create small bends throughout the mid-lengths and ends, as this will give you the texture you're looking for. Then, spritz the hair with some texturizing spray (all of these are great) to get that effortless, "lived-in" look.

Pin-Straight Hair and Metallic Eyelids A swipe of metallic eye shadow across your lids paired with a red lip can easily elevate your look for Valentine's Day. Just ask Michael Anthony, the makeup artist who created this dazzling beat for singer-songwriter Ava Max. "I find it helpful to use a matte taupe shadow in the socket line to give the eye some definition," he tells Allure about the look. "Then, if you use the Pat McGrath Labs IntensifEYES Artistry Wand with an iridescent holographic shadow (we're fans of Danessa Myricks's Twin Flames Liquid Eye Shadows) on top, it gives you a surreal light-catching finish!" To put it all together, Anthony loves adding a "matte nude lip" to the mix, specifically MAC's Lipstick Matte in Velvet Teddy.

Dewy Skin and Loose Waves If you're on Team Dewy Skin, then you're sure gonna want to consider recreating this glowing look by New York City-based makeup artist Kasey Adams Spickard. He washed the eyes using the shadows of pink from the Natasha Denona Mini Love Eye Shadow Palette. For the cheeks, Spickard used Jouer Cosmetics's Amelie Blush + Bloom Lip and Cheek, a dual-sided blush stick that he says has "a rich, rosy pink" on one side and "a beautiful, clear glow" on the other. Oh, and don't forget to top it all off with a red lip

Gilded Lids and Fuchsia Lips "Pink and red are both beautiful colors to use this upcoming Valentine's Day," says makeup artist Delina Medhin. "Opt for a magenta pink to line the lips and give them a more defined look. Then, place a lighter pink on the inside to give the lips even more definition." The Nars Velvet Matte Lipstick Pencil in Promiscuous is a spot-on color match for this look, plus it's great for both lining and filling in lips. As for the eyes, simply apply a sparkly gold shadow all over the lids, stopping before you hit the crease, and then finish by creating a thin wing with whatever liquid liner you have on hand.

Reverse Cat-Eye and Red Lips Bored of your basic winged eyeliner? Use Valentine's Day as an excuse to experiment with a reverse cat-eye instead. "It lends a fresher touch to an otherwise timeless glam look," says makeup artist Porsche Cooper. "Rather than lining the upper eyelid, I went for the lower lashline and flicked the eyeliner up and out once I reached her outer eye contour." After, layer on your favorite true red lipstick, and you can call it a day.
