10 Easy To Achieve Celebrity-Inspired Valentine’s Day Makeup Ideas

Pick up the search for that foundation and concealer shade that works just for you and get ready for your Valentine’s day glow up! If you or your makeup artist are up for some exciting experiments, here are ten African and Afro-American celebrity beauty looks to spring you into action. (These are arranged in no particular order)

1. Vanessa Mdee

Or Vee Money always has a flare for the dramatic when it comes to her beauty looks. This particular one is very subtle and unique. Blue eyeliner matched with lip gloss and a curly hair look gives you that glow and enhances your sex appeal without trying too hard.

2. Bonang Matheba

This South African celebrity TV host’s beauty look is a breath of fresh air juxtaposing the cramwork that is Black and Red. In this photo, she’s clad in a beautiful  floral dress harmonized with a daisy pink matte lip, blended black and maroon eyeshadow and a straight waist-length wig to go with.

3. Adut Akech

Reigning from South Sudan, this supermodel has shown the world the beauty that is having a dark skin and embracing it despite the negative stereotypes. This look by Pat Mcgrath for Versace’s Men’s show 2019 is very achievable and to die for. The brown sugar lip is everything.

4. Sheilah Gashumba

a.k.a Lil’ Stunner; always turning heads with her good sense of fashion and Gash glam beauty looks. What says Valentine’s more than an ombre scarlet red lip? I love it because it enhances your full lips. You can never go wrong with a red, for sure.  

5. Tiwa Savage

Tiwa with the Diva looks. Steal her style with this gorgeous pixie cut hair-do. It works really well with round and oval faces. Unlike Bonang’s hairstyle, this one gives you more freedom so you do not have to deal with flipping the hair away from your face all the time.

6. Anita Fabiola

Make up goddess, Mona combined a super glossy pink lip with a signature feline eye, gold eyeshadow and ultra-long lashes. Is it extra? Yes. Is it enough extra? Yes. Way to go Fab!

7. Yara Shahidi

Here’s a look that’s as youthful as it gets. The Grownish star gives off a romantic beauty look that allows her flaunt her clear natural, glowy skin. Sometimes, less is more. Shimery eye and healthy, bouncy natural curls to match is definitely a go-to beauty look for Valentine’s.

8. Duckie Thot

I know for a fact most dark skin girls fear bold lip colors such as the one Duckie is wearing but that’s just a stereotype. I think it makes you look edgy and young and helps you stand out.

9. Rihanna

The C.E.O of Fenty Beauty is seen promoting her makeup collection wearing a Fenty Matemoiselle- a deep burgundy lip color. This alternative to go for a bold look fits perfectly for a romantic evening dinner.

10. Justine Sky

Anyone else obsessed with purple like the singer is? Well, here is a bob in black and purple highlights that really is a hairstyle for any season.
