Posted by It’s that time of year again – when the world overdoses on the idea of love propagated by companies like Hallmark. Personally, I don’t feel the need to dedicate one single day of the year to truly celebrate love in all its splendour. Neither should this celebration be restricted to one’s romantic relationships, but I understand the need for Valentine’s Day… after all, many people have good money riding on the showmanship of others! I too create Valentine’s Day content every year on my Instagram page, for the plain and simple reason that people enjoy watching it.
So, in this post, I’m going to be sharing three simple makeup looks that you could use as inspiration for Valentine’s, Galentine’s, self-love or just any occasion around the year! In a twist from the usual, I made sure to stay away from traditional reds and pinks to give you more offbeat options.

I really love the way you do your makeup. It is never overdone and looks fresh as ever.I can never do make up like you do.
Thank you! It comes with practice and you can certainly do it!
You look awesome in all three looks, Noor. I am partial to the 2nd look though, as I love the way you have done your eyes. Thanks for sharing the links of the make up products as well.
Thank you Mayuri!
I absolutely love the radiational glam look. you look super classy. thanks for the product recommendations too. would surly check them out
Thank you 🙂
Good post but my mind was pulled to the first line “when the world overdoses on the idea of love 🤣”
Hahaha!
Simple yet elegant style. Loved all the styles and in particular loved the playful makeup. I would like to try these lipstick, eyeliner off three brands u mentioned.
Thank you!
Oh yes, thanks for these quick tips, will try them soon!
🙂
First of all loved all your looks. You looked fabulous in every look but I like to create playful nd vibrant looks. This look steals my heart for sure.
🙂
Wow! they’re all glam but my favourite is look 2… it is actually playful and vibrant.
Thank you!
All three looks are awesome, but liked the third one, the traditional one the best. Valentine’s day is remember and spending time with your loved ones and that’s what exactly I did.
🙂
I really like your make-up looks. You are absolutely right. Celebrating love should not be limited to one day but it is nice to have special days.
🙂
I’m always in awe of the ease with which your create these beautiful looks. Will try to recreate the second one.
Great! Do share it with me if you do 🙂
I am not a make up person but love watching your videos. I particularly loved the wearable glam look. Maybe I can experiment with that 🙂
🙂
All the three looks are great and you have paired each look with beautiful jewellery. I shall try look two for any upcoimg occassion.
🙂
Bang on. I always like your makeup tips. And you carry makeup very well. It suits you. Loved the lipstick shade in the third look.
🙂
Wow such a prefect post for season . all three looks are looking amazing but I like the second one most. it is looking most elegant and classy. will watch Instagram video soon to know proper details.
🙂
I loved each and every look. Specially loved the neklace Noor. You look beautiful and even the make up looks easy.
Thank you!
You look great in all three but if I had to choose which one I’d try it’s the traditional one- really like the shadows in that. Jassa is a lucky man!
Hahaha… He certainly is lucky but not because of the makeup I think 😉
You’re spirited Noor…and beautiful
Thanks Sonia 🙂
All three looks are fabulous. You nail every look dear and my personal favourite is traditional glam , playful and vibrant
🙂
Very well done looks. All 3 of them. While I am just a lipstick-n-kajal kinda girl, I really enjoyed your 2nd look. And I just LOVE quirky jewelry – I loved your unique neckpiece in the 3rd one.
🙂
What a blessing in disguise this post is. I am a kajal and lipstick person for almost every occasion, the eye liner being my secret weapon. Your post made me check out the various products available and I loved all the 3 looks. My Nyka cart is filling up 🙂
Great!
Very cool looking styles. A definiitve go to guide for dressing up this season !!
🙂
Since covid, I have been reluctant to use makeup but the looks that you have created are all too good.
🙂
You look fabulous in all three looks, so tempted to try all these but I am not sure I can recreate any of your looks, I am not at all a makeup person I hope I don’t mess it up and wash my face ultimately 😜
You only get better with practice!
I love your makeup looks taht you post on Instagram and also your makeup hauls. Loved the three looks shared here
🙂
The glass skin like effect is something I have always wanted. I would surely follow same steps for the perfect base and recreate one of the three looks.
🙂
Your makeup skills are so good. Thanks for product recommendations. You look great as usual.
Thank you!
I really liked all the looks you have shown here. The traditional glam look has been done so perfectly by you. Also love the necklace you are wearing for the look.
🙂
After a long time I’ve read a good make up post. All your looks are refreshing and good. I haven’t done make up since a long time. I guess my Instagram is missing my pics. However, I haven’t used Nyx and Huda products till now. Have go check them out.
🙂
I do not like makeup that much but I liked the way you explained the things. By your post I got to know about many things in makeup. Thank you for this informative post.
🙂
I’m a complete klutz with makeup but your looks are gorgeous! Thanks, I might just give it a wonky try, haha <3
Good luck!
I have watched your video on Instagram honestly I loved your all three looks. I am also a kind of makeup person. There is no way to miss any of the look definitely going to try all three. Thanks for sharing the product links.
🙂
In awe with traditional look !!
Will surely try it and yes will look for the products u suggested.
From long i was in search of long stay foundation.
Thank u ..it was helpful
🙂
I quite liked the third traditional glam look of yours for Valentine’s day. Especially the pink lip colour which has a great lip line shade and the filling shade is also so awesome peanuty pink.
🙂
I love my Make up and i personally feel that a woman should do a basic make up like khol n lipstick atleast before leaving the house. I prefer subtly make up for my day time and a little pop of color in liners or eye shadow for the evening.
🙂
This is the most difficult part for me – Make up ! I usually go with very simple basic. Afraid to try something new. May be someday !!!
Good luck!
I love your writing style. thanks for sharing
Thank you!
wow it is very nice and impressive thanks for sharing with us
Thank you for stopping by and appreciating!
