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

Step 4: Finish with a Coordinating Color For Lips

You finish the look off with a great lipstick, lip stain or gloss in a similar pink hue. You don’t need an exact match color wise, as a slight variation in shade can actually create more dimension and interest while maintaining the monochromatic effect. This could look like a mauve pink blush with a dusty rose lipstick, a bright pink cheek with a sheer pink lip stain, or a soft blush eye with a rosy lip gloss. The combinations are endless and part of the appeal of pink monochromatic looks.

Choosing the Right Pink for Your Skin Tone

Fair Skin

Soft baby pink shades, light blush tones or cool rosy hues are great for this trend without overpowering lighter complexions.

Light to Medium Skin

Warm pinks, soft coral colors or rose pinks are great for providing warmth while maintaining a balanced look for this skin tone.

Deep, Darker Skin

Berry pinks, magenta and fuchsia are great for a gorgeous contrast and rich dimension.
