No matter your status this V-Day, whip out those makeup brushes and palettes and try these gorgeous looks bound to sweep your man off his feet.

1/10
Old Hollywood Glam
You can never go wrong with a classic red lip. Pair the bold lip shade with softly defined eyes and curl your lashes. Draw your brows a little stronger to complement the lip shade.
2/10
Pretty in Pink
Be pretty in pink like Katy by using a variety of pinks in one look. Start off by using rose pink shadows on your lids and adding a winged liner. Use a mauve pink blush to add a flush of colour and finish off with a matte dusty rose lip shade for a pretty pout.
3/10
Sultry Goddess
Embrace your natural features and add a pop of mysytery to them by using cool toned shadows. Simply add the eye shadow to your entire lid and blend using a fluffy brush. Add a pop of highlight to the inner corners and finish off with a nude gloss.
4/10
Pastel Eyes
If you're stuck with choosing the colour palette on this special day, why not try Pantone's colour of the year - Serenity. Apply it to your moving lid and blend with a white shadow to create a diffused effect.
5/10
Blush of Pink
While you might be blushing naturally from the day's happenings, this is the perfect look for someone who doesn't like to wear excessive shadows. Load up your blush brush with a pink blush shade and sweep upwards. Blend to ensure there's no harsh lines and finish off with a lip stain. Rock this look during the daytime to appear fresh and happy.
6/10
Plum Toned
If you're not into the pinks and corals, opt for a mysterious shade such as plum. Not only does it help to make your teeth whiter, a heavily defined eye look paired with plum lips helps to draw more attention to your features. Keep the rest of your base matte.
7/10
Copper Hues
Copper is such a beautiful shade to try this year. Simply wet your eyeshadow brush ever so slightly, pick up the copper eyeshadow and apply it to your entire lid. This helps to create a foiled eye look which will look lovely when paired with a nude peach lip.
8/10
Nude Glow
If you are all about the glow this V-Day, keep your base matte and apply a powder highlight on top of your base. This helps the product to stand out more and last longer. We would recommend using a blush with golden shimmers and a gloss to seal the look.
9/10
Polished Makeup
If you are not a frequent makeup user, try opting for a simple makeup look - something along the lines of "my skin but better". Start off by using a light weight dewy foundation to draw glow to your skin, making it look healthy. Add highlight on your cheekbones, cupid's bow and eyelids to draw light. Finish off with a nude lip stain and you're good to go.
10/10
Smudge Kohl
A beautiful LBD's perfect makeup companion is a smudged kohl look. Use a variety of deep shades such as black, navy blue or even grey to add depth to your eyes. To extend the longevity of your eye makeup, set your kohl liner with a eye shadow of the same shade.

Valentine’s Day is around the corner and whether you're looking to celebrate with a significant other, a group of friends or even yourself, take it as a day to try a new makeup style out of your comfort zone.

It is not always about the red lip or pink blush. Scrutinize your makeup collection to pick products you’ve not used in some time. It could be a bright coloured liner or even a nude gloss. If you’re celebrating during the daytime, keep your beauty look fresh and flirty. Focus on perfecting that base and finish off with a pop of colour on a feature of your choice – eyes, cheeks or even lips.

If a romantic dinner is on the menu, try experimenting with different looks. Pair a bold red matte lip with a sparkly eye makeup look. Or go neutral with warm toned e ye shadows. This will help to bring out your features even more.
