Take a note from Jasmine Tookes, and swap out your go-to inner corner highlight for reflective silver glitter. The shimmery accent will take your smoky look from sultry to next-level sexy.

Sometimes all you need is a crisp cat-eye. For such a little line, Bella Hadid's black liquid liner makes one big, smoldering impact.

The most foolproof way to look put together? Stick to the same color everywhere. Emily Ratajkowski's copper eye, metallic nude lips, and bronzed glow (not to mention gold dress) make for one hot monochromatic look.

At first glance, Janelle Monae seems to wearing her usual retro makeup. Now take a closer look. A swipe of unexpected pink across the lower lash line is the perfect nod to the holiday.

Run carbon black liner all the way around both lash lines and add an extra coat of mascara. Lashy, defined eyes — à la Olivia Palermo — make for some romantic eye contact.

Can you think of anything more V-Day worthy than pink and glitter? Combine the two and tap it on your outer corner (or "V") like Rita Ora for an updated shadow look worthy of the day of love.

One part pink to one park red, Gigi Hadid's bright lips were made for talking (and kissing!).

­­Ciara found a way to incorporate V-day's signature color all over without looking like a walking candy heart. Her pink gloss, rose flushed cheeks, and matching shimmery eyes are equal parts pretty and hot.

Pop a soft peach blush on the apples of your cheeks and finish with a matching lipstick like Emma Stone. The universally flattering color will warm up your winter complexion and mimic a sun-kissed glow.

Who says you have to stick to either pink or red? Priyanka Chopa proves that a violet lip can be just as smokin'.

Give your eyelids a break and bring attention down under (to your bottom lash line, that is). Run metallic shadow under your lower lashes, then blend it out for a soft, daytime smoke like Soo Joo Park.

Kendall Jenner shows that understated makeup doesn't have to be boring. Play up your lashes (even throw on some falsies), then swipe on a clear gloss. Totally gorg!

Two steps to Margot Robbie's vampy look: Groom your brows, then paint on a deep lip. Just be warned, have some makeup wipes on hand before any smooch sesh.

Red and green bring out the best in each other, but they can sometimes look a little too Christmas-y. But Jamie Chung's blue-toned red lips and teal liner are much more Feb. 14 than Dec. 25.

Zendaya knows that a smoky eye can be any color you want. In this case, the plum tones she went with are so flattering, they're basically a neutral.
