Valentine’s Day has always been one of my favorite holidays, whether I’m single or coupled up. There’s something special about taking time to celebrate love – including self-love! This year, I’m embracing the holiday’s romantic vibes with a rose-inspired makeup look using cruelty-free and clean beauty products.

The Inspiration

I created this romantic look using a red and pink color story, opting for a softer eye without my usual winged liner. I’ve been saving the gorgeous shades “Supreme” and “Wiggalese” from the ABH x Jackie Aina palette for a special occasion, and Valentine’s Day felt perfect for their debut.

As Tupac beautifully wrote:

“Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature’s law is wrong it learned to walk without having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.”

I hope you enjoyed this Valentine’s Day look! Whether you’re celebrating with someone special or treating yourself, I’d love to hear about your plans for the holiday.
