Whether you’re lusting, lovestruck or planning a night with the girls, you’ll undoubtedly want your Valentine’s Day makeup look to be on point. And while a festive look might imply a feminine palette, pink can be pretty without feeling precious or cute. Here, 4 modern ways to add a rosy pop of color to your V-Day beauty regime—you’ll avoid clichés and nail a freshly romantic look.
Pink Sans Precious
Metallic Eyeshadow
Take a cue from Olivia Palermo and opt for an eyeshadow with a metallic finish to take a pink look from sweet to sophisticated.
Get The Look
Graphic Eyeliner
Make a major statement by lining the upper or lower lash line with an electric shade of pink, keeping the rest of your makeup look minimal.
Get The Look
Almost Nude Lip
Forgo a traditional (read: predictable) bubblegum pink lip in favor of a softer, almost nude hue à la Kendall Jenner.
Get The Look
Baby-Doll Blush
Break out of your blush rut with a makeup artist-approved 2016 trend: baby-doll-pink cheeks. Wear against bold brows and tousled hair for a fresh and sexy look.
