Pretty Pink & Glowy Makeup.

Call it what you will: ethereal, fairy-like, whimsicle... regardless, pink glowy makeup simply imparts a pretty feminine look that can make one seem almost dreamy and unworldy. Personally, I feel that the epitome of this look is along the lines of Elle and Dakota Fanning, Kate Bosworth, Lucy Boynton, etc. Look up their red carpet looks and you'll see what I mean: simple, girly, glowy... So, given my love for that look, I thought it would be useful to share a curated edit of products that I like to use to emulate that pretty pink, glowy makeup look. 

Glowy skin is a must-have, so atop a dewy base or some real glowy skincare, amping up the look with highlighter and blush furthers that look even more. For highlighter, a cream product is best to maintain that natural, ethereal glow, particularly the Glossier Haloscope Highlighter in "Quartz". Top it off with a glowy blush or blush topper that has a cool pink undertone (see below for similar). The effect is a naturally flushed glow that fairies would probably have if they existed. For eyes, simplicity is key, yet simultaneously inserting some subtle shine and colour. For a soft pink shimmer, the Stila Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eyeshadow in "Kitten" is a staple. You can easily sheer out the product by diffusing a small swipe of product on your lids with your fingers, or you can maximize shine by applying more and patting it with a brush. No matter the amount, the overall effect is a super pretty, glowy pink-champagne eye look that never looks too much. For lips, it's best not to compete with the rest of the face, so keeping in line with the soft and glowy look, a simple clear or pink-toned lipgloss would be perfect!
