7 Celebrity-Approved Makeup Ideas to Try This Valentine's Day
Matte Red Lip
There's no denying that a red lip is a mainstay any day of the year, but a bold matte shade and subtle cat flick eyeliner, as seen on Gemma Chan, is will stand out in a romantic candlelit room.
HOW TO DO IT:
Makeup artist Alex Babsky created Chan's Old Hollywood-inspired look using L'Oréal Paris products. For a similar lip color, try the brand's Infallible Pro-Matte Liquid Lipstick in Red Affair.
Soft Glam Makeup
If you're in for a low-key V-Day making dinner and watching a movie with your S.O., Zendaya's soft makeup with a focus on glowing skin from the 2021 CFDA Fashion Awards checks off all the requirements you want in a makeup look for the night.
HOW TO DO IT:
Considering this look is centered around flawless skin, reach for a full coverage concealer with a natural second-skin finish like Lanc?me's Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Full Coverage Concealer.
Soft Smoky Eye
Despite its effortless appearance, a smoky eye takes a bit of practice. That's what makes this look on Dakota Johnson a great alternative for anyone who's an eye makeup novice – or has last-minute Valentine's Day plans. You get the same effect with just a single product: a black eyeliner pencil.
HOW TO DO IT:
To recreate the subtle smoky eyeliner, line the upper and lower lash lines, smudging it at the outer corners. (Try this creamy Gucci pencil.) As for the neutral lip that completes the look, makeup artist Georgie Eisdell used Kevyn Aucoin's Unforgettable Lip Definer in Divine in lieu of a traditional lipstick.
