Sabrina's Rose Petal Lip

Romantic makeup inspo incoming from Grammy Award-winner songstress Sabrina Carpenter *cue applause*. The bold red lip totally reminds us of rose petals sprinkled with dew, as alluring as the bouquet you'll be receiving on Valentine’s Day.

Brush on the Dasique Shadow Palette (Starry Night Collection) in 01 Moonlight across the eyelids for a bronze sparkle. The warm tones match the lip to tie everything together.

Sabrina’s glowing cheeks have us whipping out our newest favorite makeup bag staple, the Fwee Lip & Cheek Glowy Jelly Pot in JS01 Rose Glaze. One would think pairing such eye-catching cheeks with a bold lip is a beauty no-no, but Sabrina proves that both can coexist without drawing attention away from each other.

Finish off the rose petal look with the Romand Glasting Water Tint in No. 04 Vintage Ocean. Voila, you’re ready to head off to meet your date.

Wonyoung's Mauve Pout

Despite red being the predominant color of the season, it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. If red’s not your color, try a mauve fig tone like IVE’s Wonyoung that is less intimidating to wear but impactful in its own way.

We don’t have the exact deets of Wonyoung’s makeup rundown but given the dewy, jelly-like look of her complexion, an educated guess of her base would be the Amuse Dew Jelly Vegan Cushion SPF38 PA+++ – ICYDK, Korea’s it girl herself has been Amuse’s spokesperson since 2023.

Fun and flirty, a slick of liner frames the eyes to express a demure (and you can even say mindful) vibe. Our VANA Award-winning MERZY The First Pen Eyeliner will quickly become your go-to for all your liner needs.

Wonyoung’s mauve tint is practically kissable and we recommend the Fwee Pink Obsession Stay-Fit Lip Tint in G08 Tag Pink to get her lip look. The semi-glow finish keeps your pout soft and hydrated throughout the day.

Rosé's Muted Seduction

A red lip is a classic Valentine’s Day look but let’s be real: how many times has it been done before? Rosé shows us a new take on a sultry red lip that’s muted in tone and ombré-d with a nude base shade, complete with subtle yet striking makeup to complement her natural features.

One key point of Rosé’s skin is that it’s absolutely flawless, and that’s the look you get with the Fwee Pink Obsession Stay-Fit Lip Tint in G08 Tag Pink. It’s described to give a ‘boiled egg’ finish, meaning a smooth texture, even tone and concealed blemishes.

Take the soft hues of the 3CE Multi Eye Colour Palette in Dear Nude and blend a wash of color over the lids. Take the shadows down onto the lower lashline to accentuate your aegyosal.

The lips are the focal point of Rosé’s look and you’ll need the Muzigae Mansion Objet Liqiud in 011 Poison and 013 Appeal to get the ombré effect. First layer on your base shade all over the lips, then blot the deeper red in the center and blend outwards.

Glazed Blush

The glazed blush aesthetic looks great year-round, but even Cupid would agree it’s especially apt for Valentine’s Day – flushed cheeks and an ethereal radiance practically scream ‘lovestruck’. When you have the cheeks as attention-grabbing as they are, every other aspect of the look can be kept clean and simple, making this look easier to achieve than it seems.

While the blush is free-flowing and widespread, what anchors this makeup look are neat and structured brows. Keep your browhairs kempt and in place all day with the Unleashia Shaper Pomade Eyebrow Fixer.

Your radiant flush comes courtesy of the HOUSE OF HUR Moist Ampoule Blusher in Deep Plum. Apply the product in thin layers to build up your desired blush intensity, focusing the most saturation right under the cheekbones.

Amp up your glow with the Glint Stick Highlighter in 02 Milky Moon. When layering it on top of the blush, applying it to your fingers before dabbing it onto the cheeks can prevent the blush from lifting and smearing.

Madison's Bronzy Glow

A look can be stunning without overdoing it, as demonstrated by Madison Beer’s effortless glow that’s accompanied by full, fluffy lashes. Whether you’ve got a casual date or a night of me-time on the schedule, we guarantee you’ll be sporting this look even after the 14th of February.

Step 1: eyes. Fan out your lashes with the CLIO Kill Lash Superproof Mascara in 02 Volume Curling. Feel free to layer on the coats for extra length and volume. If the lashes end up too clumpy for your liking, comb through them with a spoolie for a more defined look.

If you’re in the depths of winter where you are and it’s impossible to achieve a natural tan, not to worry because the peripera V Shading in 02 Deep Brown will get you bronzed and chiseled in seconds. Sweep the color across your forehead and in the hollows of your cheekbones to make them pop.

We can’t take our eyes off of the glow and we reckon the blinding CLIO Prism Highlighter in 01 Gold Sheerwill do the trick. Madison wears her glow on the tops of her cheekbones and browbone; to go the extra mile, dust on a light layer on the tip of your nose and chin.
