If you're looking for a sweet, bright, and super easy-to-pull-off makeup look, the Bubblegum makeup is the one for you! Inspired by pastel shades, this look is perfect for Valentine's Day. This makeup revolves around one color: pink. You can choose to create a uniform look where pink lights up every part of the face, or focus on a particular detail, such as the cheeks, eyes, or lips, for a more editorial yet irresistible effect. Essential products to recreate this look are the Cloud Crush Blush by Too Faced and the Bubblegum Sheer Lip Color by & Other Stories.
Smokey Eye
If you want a more intense look for your Valentine's Day, a smokey eye is the perfect choice. For a softer and more romantic effect, opt for a lighter version with neutral or dark pink tones. Start by applying a light base on the mobile eyelid, then blend a darker eyeshadow along the crease and outward to create a smoky effect. You can use deep pink, mauve, or even dark brown tones to add intensity, while a touch of light in the inner corner of the eye or under the brow bone will add a fresh touch. Complete with a volumizing mascara to enhance the gaze. The Pure Beauty Eyes palette by Astra Make-up is perfect to recreate this look.
Red Lipstick: Effortless, Yet Undeniably Chic
For a more chic and effortless look, red lipstick is undoubtedly the key. The beauty of this look lies in its simplicity: fresh and glowing skin, achieved with a light foundation, and eyes defined only with a touch of mascara for a natural effect. The real star? An impeccable red lipstick, which instantly adds class and a bold touch. Choose a red shade that perfectly matches your skin tone and apply it precisely for an elegant and sophisticated result, with minimal effort. Try the Lip Blush by Pixi by Petra for a kiss-proof lipstick.
Geometric Eyeshadows

If you want to add a creative and modern touch to your look, geometric eyeshadows are the perfect choice. This trend combines bold shapes and colors in an original and daring way, creating a graphic effect that grabs attention. Sharp lines, precise angles, and contrasting color combinations are the key elements of this look, which can be as minimal or as elaborate as you like, depending on the style you want. If you're looking to break out of your routine and experiment with makeup, geometric eyeshadows are the ideal option for a fresh and innovative look. Use colored eyeliners to create sharper lines, such as the Intense Ink by Sephora.
