Whether or not you are into celebrating Valentine’s Day, let’s agree that there’s something about this day that makes you want to dress up. And no dressing up sesh is ever complete unless it is accompanied by the right makeup look. Amirite? But if you are a makeup noob, applying and blending eyeshadows can be a little tricky.
But don’t worry, because we are here to help. Scroll down for five stunning yet super simple eye makeup looks that are perfect for all you makeup noobies out there. So grab your eyeshadow palettes and let’s get blending.

Purple eye makeup looks are trending in 2021 and here’s the simplest way to wear this lovely colour. We simply adore how quick and simple this eye makeup look is. Since this eye makeup does not feature an eyeliner, curl your lashes and apply two coats of mascara to define your peepers.

02. Coloured eyeliner

Coloured eyeliners are such a fun way to amp up your eye makeup, especially if you don’t want to apply and blend eyeshadows. Take any coloured eyeliner pencil (you could match it with your outfit for a more cohesive effect) and create a neat line across your eyelid and draw a tiny wing for some added drama.

03. Burgundy smokey eye

If you plan to wear an LBD and want to go the traditional smokey eye route, we highly recommend you to try this one. Ditching the black eyeshadow for a brown one softens the look and makes it a lot easier to work with. Additionally, this eye makeup can just as easily be paired with a statement red lip. Awesome, isn’t it?
BB picks: Lakme Absolute Infinity Eye Shadow Palette - Soft Nudes
04. Sunset orange

If your SO has planned a lovely beach-side sundowner date, then you need to try this stunning orange eye makeup. Blending this eye makeup look may need a little practice, but once you get it right, there’s simply no looking back. Swipe on some blush and nude lipstick to complete this look.
BB picks: Lakme Absolute Infinity Eye Shadow Palette - Coral Sunset
05. Glittery eyes

Irrespective of the occasion, a glittery eye makeup look always seems to work. A shimmery nude or golden eyeshadow helps to add a bit of sparkle to your eyes and make you look totally gorgeous. Remember to blend the colour properly to avoid harsh edges.
