Valentine’s Day will be here before we know it and it’s well worth it to plan your beauty looks ahead of time. Whether you have a hot date or plan to celebrate with a Galentine’s Day dinner, adding on-theme products to your glam routine has the power to make the prep even more enjoyable. Since there are so many options on shelves this year, we did the hard work for you and found the best makeup, fragrances and more to scoop up before February 14.
Many of the best Valentine’s Day-themed beauty products include pops of reds and pinks that you might not typically lean into. Luckily, these items will still be welcome additions to your daily routine long after this romantic holiday ends. There’s so much to L-O-V-E in this bunch, from creamy blushes and hydrating lip colors that will have you ready to pucker up to must-have skincare products and a scent that leaves behind a lingering smell of cherries.
Ahead, see 10 Valentine’s Day-inspired beauty picks (and a few gifts) we’re buying ASAP!
Best Valentine’s Day-Themed Beauty
1. A Rosy Blush: Lumene’s buildable liquid blush achieves the look of a natural flush in seconds. Aside from luminizing pigments, it includes hydrating Nordic ingredients, like arctic spring water and cloudberry (rich in antioxidants), that leave you with an all-day dewy glow. Now that’s something to blush about!
2. An Affordable Fragrance: Need a signature Valentine’s Day scent? Grab a bottle of Not Another Cherry from Fine’ry, which features notes of wild cherry, Turkish rose and almond amaretto. Even better? It’s paraben- and phthalate-free.
3. Swoon-Worthy Nails: Skip the expensive manicure in favor of Kiss’ press-on nails. We’ll be stocking up on a $9 Love Rain set that features medium-length nails with a French manicure design. The nails also have an almond shape and include a sprinkle of tiny hearts to prepare you for Valentine’s Day.
4. For the Skincare Lovers: Treat yourself this V-Day with new skincare from Tatcha, a brand that’s known to smooth signs of aging on the face and lips. Its exclusive set comes with one Kissu Lip Scrub, a Kissu Lip Treatment, a Kissu Lip Tint SPF 25 in Plum Blossom, one Kissu Lip Mask, the Liquid Silk Canvas, the Luminous Dewy Skin Mist and a Kissu keychain — all the essentials you need for a relaxing, DIY spa day!
5. A Splurge-Worthy Beauty Gift: The NuFACE Mini+ Starter Kit makes a sweet treat for Valentine’s Day since it works to deliver a sculpted complexion. By harnessing the power of micro-currents, the Smart On-the-Go Facial Toning Kit will work to smooth lines, lift brows and contour cheekbones in minutes.
6. Scrunchies for Silky Hair: How adorable are Slip’s Petal Large Scrunchies While a bit bigger than the brand’s other bestselling scrunchies, they are still crafted with a soft slipsilk fabric that doesn’t cause breakage and leaves strands looking flawless.
7. The Setting Spray That Keeps You Date-Ready: Valentine’s Day or not, the On ‘Til Dawn setting spray keeps your date-ready makeup looking its best. The waterproof, rub-proof and transfer-proof formula feels lightweight on the skin and never leaves a filmy residue behind (AKA that annoying pilling that happens with other options). While the green tea tightens the appearance of pores and witch hazel absorbs oil, it’s the flex-hold polymer blend that locks makeup in place for up to 16 hours, so you won’t have to worry about touch-ups.
8. Kissable Lips: Covergirl’s Outlast All-Day gives your lips a kissable color that stays put all day. Unlike the drying finish of lipstick, it has a balm-like texture that hydrates your pout. Add the Admire shade to your cart while it’s just $7 right now!
9. A Must-Have Cream Eyeshadow: If you prefer a no-fuss makeup look for Valentine’s Day, reach for the Eyelights Cream Eyeshadow from RMS Beauty. The eyeshadow delivers a crease-free look packed with a memorable stunning color payoff.
10. A Bestselling Lip Butter for Chapped Lips: Keep Summer Fridays’ sheer light pink balm in your bag the next time your lips need a revival. The formula includes shea and murumuru seed butters to soothe and condition your pout.
