Makeup Tips for Pink Monochromatic Looks: How to Achieve a Fresh, Soft Look (2 of 4)

Why does pink work so well with this makeup style?

Pink is one of the most flexible colors you can utilize in makeup because you can find it in endless shades. From vibrant rosy colors to soft blush pink hues, there is a variation that will complement just about every occasion and skin tone. Pink is also a great color for creating a healthy-looking flush that appears youthful and works year-round. Depending on the shade you choose, pink makeup can appear: soft and romantic, bold and flirty, elegant and lush, or fresh and natural.

Step 1: Create a Good Base

Every great look in makeup needs a good foundation: well-prepped, clean skin. Start with your regular skin care regime, including applying moisturizer and sunscreen for daytime wear. You can also apply a primer if you want your makeup look to stretch a bit longer.

Next, apply your preferred skin tint or foundation, and follow that with a concealer if needed. The goal isn’t full coverage as much as it is to create a complexion that appears even and allows the pink tones to stand out naturally.
