Whether you plan on spending Feb. 14 at a romantic, candlelit dinner date, with your best friends (virtually), or on your couch with Ben & Jerry, a festive beauty beat is always a good way to celebrate the Hallmark holiday. If you're considering a special Valentine's Day look but don't have time to scour the internet for last-minute inspo, don't worry, because endless Valentine's Day looks await you. Trust me, you'll trigger the heart eyes Emoji reaction in anyone who sees you with these Valentine's Day makeup looks.

Your mind likely defaults to a bright red lip exclusively when you think about Valentine's Day beauty. And that's an undeniably, foolproof look. But this V-Day, why not try a beat that goes beyond the traditional red pout. Consider mixing up your look with multiple shades, textures, heart motifs, and, of course, glitter. If you're down for that, I've rounded up a mix of beauty looks that include all of those things, as well as ombre lips, multi-toned eye looks, lots of pink, and yes, even heart-shaped glitter.

Ahead, prepare to fall in love with the 10 Valentine's Day makeup looks that will definitely make your crush post a million heart eye Emojis under your selfie.

Valentine's Day Makeup Look: Seeing Red

A glossy, neutral pink color is the perfect pout color for Valentine's Day, especially when it's paired with this sparkly, light-and-dark pink eyeshadow look. Set off by sky-high lashes and the sharpest cut crease, this look may be more romantic than the holiday itself.

Valentine's Day Makeup Look: Ombré Red Lip

Mix up a bold, red lip by adding splashes of all of your fave shades of red lipsticks. To really set off the look, create an all-over bronzed glow and use a reddish gold eyeshadow that plays off the blended shades on your lips.
