No doubt, Valentine’s will look a little different this year, with masks, social distancing and lockdown – you may be getting geared up for a zoom date night with your significant other or a virtual house party for a Galentine’s celebration. But despite all this, Valentine’s Day is still a good excuse to get your hair done, wear some makeup and put yourself in a good mood. One BellaStylista we love to turn to when we need fresh makeup inspiration is SA-based Celebrity Makeup Artist Lugile Thabethe.

From cute and playful pinks to striking and sexy reds, look no further than these beauty shots by Lungile to inspire your makeup for this weekend. Best of all? These colours and techniques go perfectly with the colours of the season.

You can find tutorials of her stunning makeup looks here.
