We already have the playlists sorted, dinner spots reserved, and outfits planned, but what about the glam?
Since the narrative of Valentine’s Day has shifted from only being a celebration of love for couples to a more inclusive concept to celebrate friendships, sisterhood and women who show up for us daily.
If you are a part of the clique who will be celebrating Galentine's Day with their day ones, this is your chance to experiment with playful and bold looks.
This year, we are certainly shying away from simple glam to a face-beat that screams: celebrating life-long friendships!
This Galentine's Day, elevate your outfits by serving flawless glam on your day/night out with your friends.

Full glam with a dramatic eye
Like previously mentioned, we are creating fun looks, so what better way to do that than with eyeshadow?
There are creative ways to create an eyelook that is playful and daring at the same time. So it’s either you are gonna go with a pink eyeshadow with small red hearts on the lid. Or go for a pink eyeshadow with some glitter.
If you want to go way bolder than that, you can create a dramatic eye with a pink eyeshadow. On the outer corner, you can go for a sculpted heart-shaped detail outlined with rhinestones. The size of the heart shape all depends on you.
Another eye look you can go for is creating a stylish under-eye colour by keeping the eyelids natural with a brown eyeshadow, but choosing a red or pink eyeshadow so that your under-eye can have some pop of colour.
A heavy blush look will go perfectly well with your pink or white or red outfit on Galentine's Day.

Neutral glam with pink blush
Even though we are aiming for playful glam, it’s okay if you are more of a neutral or simple glam girl. So in this case, all you have to do is dab that blush!
All you have to do is recreate a make-up look with heavy blush. This is your time to shine with “blush blindness”.
In terms of the eyes, you can go as neutral as you would like and lips as well, but a pink lipstick or gloss, whichever you prefer, will complement the blush well.
Even though this is not a natural glam look, the lips pop out and you could re-create the lips this Galentine's Day.

Natural glam with a bold lip
If full glam or playful make-up is not your style, you can stick to natural glam - it’s not too busy or heavy for someone who does not like make-up.
However, you have to choose a bold lip that will stick out, such as a deep red lipstick or a soft pink lip.
For the lip gloss lovers, you use one with red or pink shades; however, it is highly recommended to use a lipstick, then apply the gloss on top to add the moisture and shine we all love.
A soft pink make-up look is what most of prefer to re-create when celebrating friendships and love.

Soft pink glam
This is the ultimate go-to look that most of us lean towards, especially if you are still a beginner in make-up and exploring what your go-to glam is.
Since it’s Valentine’s Day, everything needs a soft pink colour on your face - the blush, the eyeshadow and the lips.
It’s not too much or too simple, but rather a perfect balance between natural glam and full glam. It also pairs well with any outfit or occasion.
