On Your Lips

Wearing this shade of pink on your lips is one of the easiest ways to pull off the color. “I love a pretty pink lip with a classic cat’s-eye. It’s timeless and elegant.”

On Your Eyes

“Pastel pink eye shadow should be worn softly and sheer like a wash of color. I would pair it with a red lip for a cool, on-trend contrast.”

On Your Cheeks

“I adore a creamy pink cheek worn all on its lonesome with a great brow and a little mascara. Using brown mascara, try wiping excess product off of the brush and then skimming what’s left through your brows for a natural fullness.”

On Your Nails

“Opt for a pastel pink nail with a white tint to it. It’s very flattering, as the white brightens it and makes skin appear more tan. And who doesn’t want that?”
