Inspo for Valentine’s day!

So let’s get into a few different looks one could try out for Valentine’s Day, and we can start with a few less obviously themed styles.

This first one is my favorite. It’s not the usual pink eyeshadow or red lip that I think most of us would jump to for this holiday. I also love that it could be worn with a variety of other colors. This look would look gorgeous with a red dress! It feels more purple than pink and I love this on brown skin!

A moody marroon look is another gorgeous choice I don’t think I would come up with on my own. A hint of red with this look but still feels neutral and sultry but not over powering.

Moving on to the more classic looks the infallible red lip can be worn in many forms!  It’s easy, it’s always appropriate, and it speaks for itself.

These last two looks feel bolder, a little bit artsy even…

I love this look by Rihanna, I’m easily impressed by anything she does and I looked at this pic and felt like she must be the person to ever wear red eyeliner! How is it that the liner is such a statement piece for this makeup but it doesn’t feel theatrical and that’s such a hard balance to achieve, and yet she did it.

Going graphic with your liner can feel like a risk but I feel like that’s always a risk worth taking.  A pop of color never hurt anybody! I love that this look feels editorial, yet soft. The eyeliner on the inner corner with the little flower gives avant-garde, the touch of blush paired with the wash of pink is a perfect balance needed to tie this whole look together without making it too eccentric.

So, how will you be celebrating this Valentine’s Day? I will be in the house, but I’ve been in such a pink girlie pop type mood, that I just might convince myself to get cute and attempt to paint the town red!!
