Romantic Beauty Looks to Try

Valentine’s Day might be over, but pink and red never really go out of style.

February calls for an array of pink and red candies, clothes, and makeup products to be in the window display of every store. You’ve probably received a ton of Sephora and Colourpop emails over the last few weeks detailing their newest products and sales. But, even with V-Day over, that doesn’t mean you have to let your Valentine’s Day-inspired products go to waste. Whether it’s one last night out with your girls, your rehearsal dinner, or your tropical honeymoon trip, you can play with the two colors to create some fun, romantic beauty looks. When it comes to your wedding weekend and beyond, it’s all about choosing looks that make you look and feel your best. If you’re looking for some inspiration, we’ve rounded up some pink and red beauty looks that are worth trying to bring out your inner romantic!

Candy Apple Lips

A fresh, sexy twist on the classic red lip is the glossy candy apple lip, rivaling the likes of Snow White. You can rarely go wrong with a red lip, it adds an eye-catching element to just about any makeup look. But, if you want to take it up a notch, layer your lips with red lacquer gloss for a shiny pout perfect for a rehearsal dinner or bachelorette night out on the town.

Pretty In Pink

Take it back to the ‘80s by placing pops of pink on your eyes, cheeks, and lips (think Molly Ringwald in Pretty in Pink). Whether you go for a dewy, light pink look that is soft and feminine or hot pink, matte look that screams romance, the monochromatic formula will make your features stand out. If you’re going for this all-pink everything look, make sure the rest of your makeup is fairly light. Opt for a CC cream and minimal eyeliner, to keep it simple, yet romantic.

Mismatched Lips

If you can’t decide between a pink or red lipstick shade, why not just wear both! Mismatched lips and eyeshadows have become a trendy way to express your creativity in the beauty world as of late, so what better time to try it out than on your honeymoon. You can opt for a red top lip and pink bottom lip, or go even more out of the box for a pink and orange combo. If you’re not into matte styles, you can mix glosses or lip stains for a more toned-down look.

Where Red Meets Pink

For an artsy, romantic rehearsal dinner look, opt for a pink or magenta eyeshadow paired with a red lip or vice versa. Depending on how bright you want the look to be, you can play with different shades of each color. For a more subtle look, use lighter shades of pink and red or add some gloss or glitter on top to tone down the color.

Pink or Red Eyeliner

Give your cat-eye a pink or red upgrade! This look can be tried with just about any color, but in the spirit of romance, choose your favorite shade of pink or red for a modern take on a date night look. This is great if you’re going for a laid-back look at a rehearsal or honeymoon dinner because you can keep the rest of your makeup super simple, but have this pop of color that will highlight your eyes.

Smokey Eye and Crimson Lip

Nothing says you have to use bright pinks and reds in your bridal looks to create a romantic ambiance. If you tend to go for a look that is a bit more dark and vampy, pair a smokey eye with a crimson lip. A dark lip can be beautiful on its own, but adding a smokey eye gives the makeup look a sultry vibe, perfect for your last night as a single woman. If you want to stand out, you can opt for a dark purple lipstick shade instead of crimson.
