Valentine's Day is right around the corner, which means love and everything pink or red is in the air. Whether you're basically the makeup artist of your friend group or you're only just now perfecting that winged liner, there's a makeup look for everyone to recreate here.

Pretty in pink

@marvels.makeup

This look screams Valentine's Day as it layers bright pink liner over a pink shimmery shadow. Easily achieve this look by blending your favorite matte pink shade all over your lid, and then create the pink wing with either a liner (we suggest Colourpop's Creme Gel Liner in Jubilee, $7, colourpop.com) or a pigmented eyeshadow. Lastly, don't forget to top your lids with a dusting of shimmery pink pigment (the best part, tbh).

Dainty hearts

@saharmova

If you can't be bothered to spend time and patience on a super detailed look, then this one's for you. It's as simple as grabbing your fave red lipstick (like Sephora's Cream Lip Stain in Always Red, $15, sephora.com) and creating red hearts on your lids with a small liner brush. Set the hearts with some translucent powder or setting spray to make them last all day.

Pink + rhinestones

@yourfavjennnn

Take your look to the next level by adding some rhinestones. You can even ask a parent or sibling to help you out in placing the gems on your lids. To get the look, first apply a soft pink eyeshadow all over the lid. Then, slowly add the rhinestones in the shape of a cut crease. Lastly, add mascara (we heart Benefit's They're Real Mascara, $27, sephora.com) to make your lashes pop.

White hearts

@lanayanette

This all-pink look is perfectly topped with white hearts—adding the *cutest* touch. For this look, play around with different pink eyeshadows (we're crushing on Colourpop's Secret Admirer Palette, $14, colourpop.com) and liners until you're happy with the look. As your last step, add tiny white hearts with a pigmented white liner, and you're good to go!

~Advanced~ hearts

@samanthartistry

This last look is for the creative artist in the group. Either attempt the look on your own, or call over your talented bestie for assistance. To get the look, outline red hearts on your lids (pro tip: use a lip liner for the perfect red shade) and then carefully add the pearls (check out BH Cosmetics Decorative Pearls, $6, ulta.com). And may we suggest a photo shoot after you master this lewk?
