MAKE UP
In the genre of romance, they really focuses upon the facial features of the characters; as facial expressions are really important for the audience to identify so they can detect feelings exchanged between them. So with these close up shots we see a lot of their face, the characters can sometimes appear quite natural, only very light makeup is used to signify their confidence they have when being alone with that person. In other parts of romance films this look can often contrast with the use of red lipstick, which has connotations of love, supporting the genre. This look can also be purposely done to make the character look sexy and attractive, making her stand out from all the other girls around her, making the man approach her (this is how they could meet).

Show me: You now need to start thinking about costume for your main characters and what meaning you want them to convey.
