4 Indulgent Valentine's Day Makeup Looks That Encourage Self-Love
You deserve to look and feel your best whether you’re bae’d up or bae-less.
Valentine’s Day is officially days away, and no matter your V-day plans, creating gorgeous makeup looks should obviously be in your rotation for the day.
We tapped celebrity makeup artist and Global Artist for Bobbi Brown, Mali Thomas to give us the ultimate insight on beating the face for yourself, your lover or luster. Much like the holiday season with glam looks that sparkle and shine, we’re looking towards golden bronzed skin, tonal pinks and juicy lips for V-day. If you’re looking to keep things more natural, any of the looks ahead can be toned down for the “Netflix and chill” girl-next-door look. Either way it goes, there’s something here for everyone.
So, whether you’re going out with your boo’d up, meeting friends or just wanting to get done up on a regular Tuesday, there’s always a reason to look like your best self, however you see fit. Keep reading on for a display of the sexiest Valentine’s Day looks to try this year.
Tonal Pink
Soft pretty pinks are in full bloom this season. Try using less foundation and pick up the tinted moisturizer and concealer. Thomas says, “Sheer luminous skin will always be timeless. For this look, I wanted to create a fresh soft glow and Tiana looks exceptional. I used Bobbi Brown Longwear Cream Shadow stick in “Incandescent” for the glow.
Flirty and Flushed Golden Skin
For those with warm, rich complexions, golden bronzed skin and earthy tones will have you looking radiant all evening. To cultivate the magic glow look, Thomas advises that you prep your skin before applying makeup. “Start with a generous amount of Bobbi Brown Extra Repair Moisture Cream and try using your highlighter on your cheeks and eyes. This combination takes my glow to the next level.” Thomas says.
Romantic Red Lips
Sexy red lips and effortless sheer skin is always a vibe. For this look, Thomas used Bobbi Brown’s Luxe Lipstick in “Parisian Red.”
Monochromatic Moment
Second skin, monochromatic looks are top tier. Here, Thomas kept the tones similar to the model’s complexion. Some of the key products used were Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin in shade 17W, Anastasia Beverly Hills “Rose Metal” Palette and Bobbi Brown’s Luxe Lipstick in “Boutique Brown.”
