You could try using :placeholder-shown...

input {
  padding: 10px 15px;
  font-size: 16px;
  border-radius: 5px;
  border: 2px solid lightblue;
  outline: 0;
  font-weight:bold;
  transition: border-color 200ms;
  font-family: sans-serif;
}

.validation {
  opacity: 0;
  font-size: 12px;
  font-family: sans-serif;
  color: crimson;
  transition: opacity;
}

input:required:valid {
  border-color: forestgreen;
}

input:required:invalid:not(:placeholder-shown) {
  border-color: crimson;
}

input:required:invalid:not(:placeholder-shown) + .validation {
  opacity: 1;
}

  

Not valid

no great support though... caniuse
