We’re very much aware that Pantone declared Veri Peri as the colour of the year for 2022. But can we please make a controversial comment out here? We’d like to change that colour to the colour of the season— PINK! This striking hue is everywhere lately, isn’t it? From dominating the fashion runways to our Instagram feeds, we’re seeing it all over and not complaining about it at all. We think compared to every other aesthetic, the Barbiecore aesthetic is definitely here to stay for a while.
I think we’re all aware of what led to the resurgence of this apart from Valentino’s groundbreaking runway show. Well, it’s the new Barbie movie that’s slated to hit the screens only sometime next year. Look at all of the impacts it’s having on the world from now! Every time I walk into a clothing store like Zara or H&M, it’s bright pink galore everywhere, and I personally love it. Should I let you in on a tiny secret? The pink bug has certainly bitten me too because at this point half of my wardrobe, my laptop and my phone cover— it’s all pink! However, like any other trend on the block, we’re here to give this one a classic beauty twist.
So here are a few pink makeup products that will make all of your Barbiecore aesthetic dreams come true!
Debasree Beauty, D/Fine Eyeliner in D/Ssert
We all love a homegrown beauty brand helmed by a beauty influencer in this house. Debasree Bannerjee, the internet’s favourite makeup influencer ventured into the entrepreneurial space with her own beauty brand Debasree Beauty. Known for their vivid and striking eyeliners, there isn’t one colour amiss with them. The D/Fine Eyeliner in D/Ssert is the perfect shade of popping pink you need to make heads turn, trust us! Being a water-activated eyeliner it’s so easy to use, that you don’t need to worry about making a mess or using too much product.
POPXo, 12 Eyeshadow Kit in Vibe Check
NGL, what first convinced me to snag the 12 Eyeshadow Kit by POPxo in Vibe Check was the vibrant colour story. I mean how many eyeshadow palettes offer you multiple shades of pinks and neutrals at the same time? A mix of 6 matte and shimmer shades that range from pinks to corals to soft browns, this one’s got it all. The pigment will not disappoint you at all because it shows up even without a primer and blends like a dream! The best part is that this particular palette is kinda versatile, meaning you can use it to highlight and contour too!
Kay Beauty, Creme Blush in Rosy Romance
Blushes have certainly been having their moment in the spotlight for a while now. It was time they received the undue importance they deserved! After all, blushes are one product that has the power to transform your makeup look. Sometimes using a pink blush can be extremely tricky because of how pigmented they happen to be, we’re all afraid of looking like a clown now, no? That’s where the Creme Blush from Kay Beauty comes in. Rosy Romance is a dreamy pink hue that comes in a mousse-like formula that ensures the application isn’t streaky or patchy at all.
Pixi Beauty, +Rose Glow-y Powder
Pink highlighter? Yep, that kinda took me by surprise too! Pixi Beauty’s +Rose Glow-y Powder is a very unique highlighter, after all, it’s pink and sparkly! A radiance powder that is infused with rose extract to nourish and treat your skin. It’s a natural mineral powder that creates a luminous finish. While it may look a little too glistening and over-the-top, we assure you it adds the ultimate Barbie vibe to it.
Manish Malhotra Beauty, Hi-Shine Lipstick in Fuchsia Fantasy
As the name suggests, the Hi-Shine Lipstick from Manish Malhotra Beauty is a classic head turner with its intense colour pay-off. In just one swipe you’re guaranteed the most lovely colour coating your lips. Did we mention that this one has a curved bullet for detailed and crisp application? Smudged lines no mo! A creamy, smooth finish which will definitely give your the pout of your dreams, the shade Fuchsia Fantasy is a vibrant pink colour.
