Crystal Eye Makeup

ICYMI, embellished eye makeup is in, and Valentine's Day is the perfect opportunity to add a little light-reflecting sparkle to your look. Reach for the e.l.f. Cosmetics Face and Body Gems in Crystal ($3) to give this trend a try. According to the brand, they're best used on dry skin or on top of non-oil-based products.

The Classic Red Lip

We couldn't put together a Valentine's Day makeup guide and not include a red lip! If you prefer a slightly shiny lip finish and want to prioritise hydration, we suggest going with the e.l.f. Cosmetics SRSLY Satin Lipstick in Cherry ($3). If matte is more your speed, try the e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Matte Lipstick in Red Vixen ($6)

Lots of Blush

Between blush contouring and just more dramatic placement and application, blush is having a serious moment. The e.l.f. Cosmetics Putty Blush ($6) is a great choice for trying either trend. The creamy, lightweight formula blends with ease, is available in eight different shades, and turns into a semimatte powder finish once on the skin.
