For all of the love-filled plans you may have.

Valentine’s Day is officially days away, lovers, lusters, and everyone in-between. Of course, that means ‘tis the season for red roses, scarlet lips, sultry perfumes, and handwritten letters sealed with a kiss. And much like the holiday season filled with glam looks that sparkle well past midnight, the love-filled February holiday is all about playing with makeup in boldly flirtatious, sensually sweet new ways.
From more abstract works of art that use kiss marks as a graphic eyeshadow, to barely-there glossy lips and lids that allow your inner self to shine through: It’s truly the perfect day to experiment with techniques and pigments you’ve never tried before. And TBH, Valentine’s Day is *not* a holiday that excludes those who aren’t in a relationship. In fact, it’s a special day to remind everyone that there is so much love to be found in the world — whether it’s from your gal pals, your family, a beloved pet, a stranger whose compliment makes your day brighter, or even within yourself.
So whether this V-Day is being spent with a lover, your tribe, or solo for some self-care and much-deserved pampering — here are 23 romance-filled Valentine’s Day makeup looks you may want to play with all the way up until the 14th of February.
