As cheesy as it may sound, Valentine’s Day is always one of my favorite holidays to celebrate! I don’t know if it’s eating all the chocolates guilt-free OR the excuse for extra hugs & kisses, but there’s something so special about it! As February 14th quickly approaches, I’m sharing THREE Valentine’s Day MakeUp Looks that are not only totally romantic and wearable, but that are also inspired by three of my favorite Valentine’s Day gifts! Tune in each day as I add a new look here!
#1. The Candy Inspired Look
This first look was inspired by the romantic tones & the glossy finish of these sweet little treats. Designed to mimic the watercolor hues, Glossier’s cloud paint was used to dust the eyes, cheeks, & lips and the Dior Palette added the perfect sheen to the skin to match the glass-like texture of the lollipops.

#2. The Chocolate Inspired Look
There is absolutely nothing like popping the top off of a box of chocolates and admiring the rich, delicious colors of a timeless candy. This classic gift always brings out the warm & fuzzy feelings in me, as I remember my Grandfather going out of his way to get a giant box for my Grandma every year. This second look was created with warm tones to make you feel just as rich as that box of chocolates.
Key Products:
NYX Professional Makeup Epic Wear Liner Stick in "Deepest Brown"
Lime Crime Velvetines Liquid Matte Lipstick in "Teddy Bear "
#3. The Rose Inspired Look
The many hues of red within a dozen roses is absolutely mesmerizing. Not to mention, the color red itself… a color we instantly tie to love & the heart. So, what could be more romantic than lips that match just that? Carefully layering products will help you achieve that ombre look to mimic the shades within a rose! How’s that to finish off our final Valentine’s Day look?!
