17 Valentine's Day Makeup Ideas Worth Trying Immediately

I've said it once and I'll say it again: You don't have to be in a romantic relationship to celebrate Valentine's Day (!!!). Whether you're chilling with your friends, going on a Bumble date, or celebrating with your partner, there's no reason why you shouldn't have a little fun on February 14—and it all begins (IMHO) with the perfect Valentine's Day makeup look. Ahead, I rounded up 17 celeb-inspired looks that are pretty enough to even make V-Day haters celebrate. Plus, how you'll need to recreate 'em (you're welcome).

1. Valentine's Day Makeup: Margot Robbie's Crimson Lips

   Who says Valentine's Day calls for soft reds and pale pinks? This year, pull a Margot Robbie and opt for something vampier, like a rich crimson lip. Pair the look with a few swipes of mascara, brushed-up brows, and soft blush.
