Flattering Pink Makeup

By Elizabeth Schatz Passarella

A sweet makeup color that manages to look good on everyone.

Wearing Pink

For those of you who think pink is a confection of your childhood (light-as-meringue tutus, plastic Barbie heels, sugary sweets), think again. The color that dominated your dollhouse can now be a staple in your makeup bag―in the form of eye shadows, blushes, lipsticks, and nail polish. “Pink instantly lifts and brightens any skin tone,” says makeup artist Bobbi Brown. You can either apply it subtly in places or go strong and play up one feature. Here you’ll learn doable, wearable looks and find the right shades for you. Meet pink at its best: pretty, practical, and all grown-up.
