Makeup Tips for Pink Monochromatic Looks: How to Achieve a Fresh, Soft Look (3 of 4)

Step 2: Sweep a Layer of Pink Across Your Eyes

Use pink eyeshadow to tie the entire look together. Start with a lighter matte finish pink across the eyelid, then deepen your blend across the outer corner with a medium rosy shade if you want some extra definition.

A bit of shimmer can go a long way, so just place a touch in the center of the lid or at the inner corner of the eye to brighten your eyes without overshadowing the whole look.

Finish with mascara to define your eyelashes. For an evening look. You can throw in a soft plum or brown eyeliner for some drama, while keeping pink as the dominant color scheme.

Step 3. Add a Pink “Flush” to Your Cheeks

Blush is often the centerpiece of any monochromatic makeup look. Choose a pink blush that goes well with your skin and begin by applying it to the apples of your cheeks, being sure to blend in an upward sweep towards your temples. This will give you a lifted, youthful effect.

The product type should be intentional as well: powder formulas offer longer wear and a more buildable color, while cream blushes have a great dewy, natural finish. If you prefer a sculpted look, apply bronzer before you apply blush so that the pink remains the true focal point.
