Pretty in Pink
Soliz says you don’t have to opt for a full Valentine’s Day look, but rather, go for a minimalist approach.
To achieve the ultimate pretty in pink glam: “Sweep a single pink eyeshadow from lash line to brow bone (like Cherished from the Huda Beauty Rose Quartz eyeshadow palette), then stroke Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Mascara for fresh and flirty eyes,” says Soliz. “Finish the look by brightening under the eyes with Hide concealer.”

Winged Liner & Lollipop Lips
“K-pop star Lisa from Blackpink does it best,” says Soliz. It’s all about the glossy shine on the lips paired with the perfect black winged liner. Soliz’s picks: YSL’s Water Stain Lip Stain in Fuchsia Tide, which is a vibrant but cool pink lip stain that drenches the lips with glossy high shine. For liner, his go-to is NARS Climax waterproof liquid liner.

Monochromatic Mauves
Want something easy for V-day that is also a signature beat of one of the world’s most famous pop stars? In the words of the singer herself, “Yuh!”
“Ariana Grande has mastered this look [Monochromatic Mauves] and it couldn’t be easier,” says Soliz. “Sweep a mauvy pink shade from the lash line. To crease, try Tarte’s Tartelette eyeshadow palette; it’s a mix of rose shimmery pinks. Then drape a mauvy blush like Pat McGrath Labs in Divine Rose from the temples to the cheeks.” For the lip, Soliz suggests a soft satin shade like Makeup by Mario’s lipstick in Rasa, which balances out the glam.”

Shine bright this Singles Awareness Day with all things glitter and gold. “Start with a liquid shimmer like Haus Labs Glam Attack Liquid Shimmer Powder, sweep it across your eyes, and blend it out,” explains Soliz. “Then, throw on a pair of lashes to really make the look stand out.” His favorite?

Bring the Heat
Orange is the new... red. “Bright orange packs the same heat as a bold red and we’ve seen Julia Garner ace this look,” says Soliz. “Gucci’s Agatha orange-red lipstick is one I find works well on everyone. Try keeping the rest of the face neutral with soft and subtle finishes and Pat McGrath Labs Dark Star mascara to help balance out and ground the look.”
