Pink to make the boys wink

We saw it first at the resort collections and then in the spring 2012 shows, so its official, Pink at its most shocking, is in! Whether it be magenta, scarlet, coral, or cerise, there’s something out there to excite the Barbie fan in all of us, none more so than pink haired beauty, Charlotte Free. It’s been seen on the runway and styled on celebrities in clashing brave colours, as it should be with your pink beauty choices.

The easiest way to add a shocking pink to your Make-up is on the lips. There are a huge range of luscious tones out there, just be sure to try out ones which will compliment your skin tone.  Pastel shades are more forgiving on pale skin and blue toned hot pinks are better for those with a naturally dark lip. If you are braving it with a hot pink (Pro long wear lipcreme, in Love forever, Mac, £15.50) keep the blusher natural rather than rosy, or it can end up very coco the clown. A matte pink lip is a great on trend evening look and the mac lip crèmes are a great range of moisturising colours, which will also help stop chapped lips.

There are also a wide range of other beauty products available in pretty pinks and the more of them you can get away with at once, the better. OPI’s ‘I’m not really a waitress’ (available in store at Selfridges, £13) is a great hot pink best worn on short manicured nails.

 

For those feeling bold, a bright pink eyeshadow is a great way to liven up your Make-up. (High pigment eyeshadow in passionate, Mac, £11.50) Its best to keep the rest of your Make-up fresh, with a nude lip to keep emphasis on the eyes.  Used for a thick line on your upper lid, no longer than the length of your lash line, this colour can make a great statement look.
