Pink beauty

Who suits pink?

Pink lifts and brightens pretty much any skin tone. Soft pink is the fresher alternative to brown-based nudes. The fairer you are, the paler you can go, but pretty much anyone glows with a wash of dusky sheer  pink on lips, eyes and cheeks.

Pink-lippies

Pink lippies

Never choose a lip colour paler than your skin tone. It should be a couple of shades darker.

For a bright pink look, prep lips first by exfoliating with a damp facecloth and then moisturising with a little balm. Leave on for five minutes, then blot off before applying your lippy. If you’re using a product with a matte finish, don’t moisturise first.

Tone down a too-bright shade by layering a lighter pink gloss over the top.

Get the look: Clinique natural lip colour, $40. Revlon ColorStay Moisture Stain, $30.50. Karen Murrell Lipstick in Poppy Passion, $29.95. L’Oréal Paris Glam Matte in Future Flare, $23.99. Avon Ultra Color Rich Lipstick in Bright Bellis, $22.99. Beauty Addicts Lip Addiction Gloss in Tease, $24.

Pink-blush

Pink blush

Choose a blusher by holding shades next to your cheek and seeing which adds brightness without looking too bold.

For your most flattering blusher shade match, aim to match it to the natural flush of pink in your cheeks after exercise.

Pink shadows

Green and hazel eyes really pop with shades of pink shadow.

If you find it a tricky colour to wear on the lids, go for gold-toned pinks or pinky-lilacs and define eyes with liner.
