Whether you're in a relationship, wish you were, or are happily single, there's a good chance you have an opinion about Valentine's Day — and, hopefully, have plans. It doesn't matter if that means hitting the town with your significant other, heading out on your own, or partying with friends.
Though many feel that Valentine's Day is about loving others, we prefer to focus on the holiday as an opportunity to love yourself — by feeling beautiful, that is. From Galentine's Day dinners to a low-key night in with your long-term boyfriend, we think Feb. 14 is simply a great excuse to dress up and #treatyourself.
We've rounded up some real-girl Valentine's Day looks guaranteed to help you feel like a queen come next month . . . for whatever your Valentine's Day plans may bring.

Hot Date
Shake up a years-old relationship or start off on the right foot with a night out for dinner, drinks, and (of course) dancing. If you're going big for the holiday, rock a dramatic winged liner and lip to achieve a sultry, smoldering look sure to wow your date (and, more importantly, yourself).
Galentine’s Day
We'll just say it — thank goodness Galentine's Day has become a thing over the past few years! For those single ladies spending the day or night celebrating with friends, it's the perfect opportunity to go for a playful style that has fun with the pink, purple, and red holiday color scheme.
Stupid Cupid Party
If you're spending your Valentine's Day out with friends at a party, you'll want to land somewhere in between full-on-sexy night out and fun girls-only celebration. Achieve this balance by trying a bold lip or eye. Alternatively, you can add flirty, colorful highlights to neutral hues.
Low-Key Night In
Spending your Valentine's Day laying low? That definitely doesn't mean you can't get creative. For this occasion, try out a maximalistic statement piece (like dramatic lashes), a neutral color palette, or a fresh, dewy complexion that accentuates your natural features.
Solo Swag
There's no better way to love yourself on Valentine's Day than going solo and showing off the badass, independent woman you are. If you're going to spend this holiday on your own, make sure you're feeling 100 percent confident in your look by sticking to classic, sexy, and empowering elements.
