With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I wanted to share this simple and romantic makeup look with you all.
Whilst I created this look with Valentine’s Day in mind, this makeup look is for anyone who loves playing around with makeup, whether in a relationship or single. I created this look for me and me only. If something makes you feel great, you should do it as much as you want to.
For a romantic vibe, I played around with soft pink tones for this look, which are my favourite colours. This look was very easy to create and I hope you all like it.

Creating the Valentine’s Day makeup look
For my Valentine’s Day makeup look, I opted for a dewy base and soft pink shades.
To achieve a radiant base, I mixed in the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter with my Giorgio Armani Power Fabric Foundation. The Hollywood Flawless Filter is truly amazing. If you mix it in with your foundation, you’ll get a stunning ‘lit from within’ finish.
I also opted for light bronzer and contour with a pretty pink blush. The Nudestix Nudies Bloom in Cherry Blossom Babe is a new addition to my makeup collection and I’ve fallen in love with it. It’s a pretty rosy pink that’s dewy, pigmented and easy to blend without removing foundation. I can see what all the hype’s about.
To stick with the romantic vibe, I opted for soft and fluffy brows. Glossier Boy Brow is exceptional at giving you full brows.
For my eyes, I took the Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerise in Jean and washed this all over my lids. This creamy eyeshadow deserves more attention because it’s pigmented, shimmery and easy to apply. Plus it lasts all day without creasing.
After this, I mixed pink shades from my Pat McGrath Labs and Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadow pinks in my crease and on my outer corners for a sultry look. To finish my eyes, I applied the berry-brown Pillow Talk Eyeliner and a pair of wispy eyelashes.
Finally, I applied a pretty nude pink lipstick and paired it with the Maybelline Lifter Gloss for a glossy pink finish.
My thoughts
I’m so happy with how this Valentine’s Day makeup look turned out. The pinks in my blush, lipstick and eyeshadow all complement each other nicely, which gives a feminine and romantic look.
Having a radiant base has been my go-to look recently, so I’m loving how this turned out.
As this look isn’t dramatic or complicated, it was so easy to put together too.
Also, the Maybelline Lifter Gloss is unreal. It’s juicy, smells like vanilla, and imparts a lovely shine without being glittery. The high praise is justified and it’s second only to the original Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb or Gloss Bomb Cream.
What’s your go-to romantic makeup look?
This look is so pretty, it’s romantic but still looks fairly natural, absolutely perfect choices for Valentine’s! I love that lip colour too x
Thank you! I’m really happy with how it turned out. I wanted to go for soft and not overly dramatic, rather than bold and bright for Valentine’s Day. This lip combo worked so well!
Your makeup perfectly suits to your skin. Actually, it made me easier to figure out if this makeup is for me because we have the same skin. Thank you so much for sharing!
If you’ve got oily/normal skin, you’ll love the Giorgio Armani Foundation! I’d highly recommend it.
This is such a beautiful yet simple look & the pinks look absolutely stunning on you! 😍
Thank you! I love playing around with pinks so I wanted an excuse to create a makeup look and Valentine’s Day provided me with this opportunity lol
You’re so pretty it’s upsetting. I love the pink that matches throughout this look with the eyes, cheeks and lip. I like that it’s not the typical ‘red lip’ look for Valentine’s Day too.
Oh stop it you! I’m so happy with how the pinks all coordinated throughout this look. It wasn’t intentional but it worked so well 🙂
omg I’m obsessed with how soft this pink look turned out. Plus, I love the soft pigmentation paired with the long, fluttery lashes!
Thank you! I’m really happy too. It was easy to do but all of the pinks complemented each other very well. The Morphe false lashes are seriously underrated. I have a few pairs and they’re all easy to apply and give lovely effects
The shades of pink in this are beautiful, as are you! I absolutely love this look and you’ve blended it so seamlessly.
