Valentine’s Day is almost here <3 Whether you’re single, dating, married (or somewhere in between!), changing up your lip color is always a fun way to update your look!

Here is my Valentine’s Day Lip Guide …

The Classic Red Lip

Made famous by timeless beauties like Marilyn Monroe and Taylor Swift, the classic red lip is always in style.

The key to choosing the right red lipstick is to go with a shade of red which compliments the natural undertones of your skin. If you have fair to medium skin, you should go for a more blue-hued red lipstick, while darker complexions can pull off more orange-hued red lipsticks. A true red lipstick will also work well with medium complexions.

While these are guidelines for choosing your go-to hue, red lipstick is best worn with confidence. 

Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to go for this confident, yet classic look.

I am wearing one of my go-to red shades … MAC Ruby Woo. This blue-hued red lipstick literally looks good on everyone.

Here are some of my other favorite REDS …

Splurge : Christian Louboutin Rouge, D&G Dolce Fire, YSL Rouge Laque

Spend : NARS Vivid Orange Red, Bite Beauty Warm Red, Sephora Deep Coral Red

Save : Stila Candy Apple, NYX Pure Red, L’Oréal Raspberry Rush

Poppy Pink Lip

I LOVE poppy pink lipstick!

Poppy pink lips are often sported by celebs like Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry. This chic and bold lip color is a fun accessory to any outfit and adds a bit of sass and spice to your look.

A poppy pink color is the perfect lip to rock if you’re single and going out with the girls (#galentines) for Valentine’s Day!

I am wearing a beautiful raspberry-hued poppy pink … Stila Bella.

Spend : Smashbox Talk To Me, Too Faced Dragon Fruit Pink, Kat Von D Backstage Bambi

Save : Maybelline Berry Misbehaved, Revlon Stormy Pink, Rimmel London I’ll Call You

Light Pink Lip

A light pink lip is literally my very favorite of all time!

Light pink lips are subtle and feminine, yet perfectly pretty. I carry at least 6 different shades light pink gloss with me at all times (true story).

A light pink lip can be natural for a day-time look but is also perfect to pair with a deep, night-time smoky eye.

Whether you’re staying in or going out, a light pink lip is sure to be pretty for Valentine’s Day.

I am wearing a soft light pink gloss … Fusion Beauty Flirt. This light pink gloss adds a bit of shimmer while plumping your lips with Lip Fusion’s micro-injected collagen technology.

Here are some of my other favorite LIGHT PINKS …

Splurge : Dior Addict Kiss Me, Guerlain Morning Rose, Chantecaille Moonlight

Spend : Buxom Shimmering Cloud, Laura Mercier Bare Pink, Tarte Lucky Light Pink

Save : Burt’s Bees Whisper, Essence Nude Candy, Ulta Baby Doll Pink
