Although Barbie makeup seems like a thing of the past, thanks to the buzz of Greta Gerwig’s latest movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, this makeup trend is coming back. If you remember, in 2001, Reese Whiterspoon in Legally Blonde wore pink outfits and matching makeup. Then in 2004, the makeup trend was once again inspired by the world of cinema with the release of the film Mean Girls in which the Barbiecore aesthetic was widely honored thanks to actress Rachel McAdams (“Wednesdays, we wear pink”). In 2022, Valentino invited the girly color into its collection, and the rest is history. This summer 2023, there’s only one step to embracing the Barbiecore trend: makeup! So go for everything pink: lipstick, eyeshadow, blush, lip gloss, glitter, etc. But don’t worry! Barbie makeup doesn’t have to be kitsch. It comes in a range of versions to please even the most timid of women.

It’s official: Barbie is the face of this summer 2023! As a result, pink makeup will be everywhere this season, and it’s not for the faint-hearted. Pink is one of the must-have shades when it comes to looking your best. Its major advantage? Barbie’s favorite makeup looks are endless – rose gold, candy pink, fuchsia, rosewood, magenta, purple – to complement every skin tone and eye color. Choose a shade that will blend best with your skin tone, eyelids, and lips. If you’re fair-skinned, opt for pastel shades of pink, such as flesh pink or Dragee Almond Pink. For darker skin tones, coral and peachy pink are the best. Of course, the color of the eyes is also to be taken into consideration for a successful Barbie makeup. Green eyes are instantly enhanced by plum and rosewood tones. To accentuate blue eyes, opt for pastel pink. Finally, keep fuchsia pink and magenta to highlight brown eyes.

Nude or more pronounced makeup, pink satisfies every desire. How to apply it on the eyes, cheekbones and lips? For all those who want a healthy glow thanks to Barbie makeup, pink blush is the answer! A great classic in the world of makeup, this product is used much more than mascara, eyeshadow and colored eyeliner. In short, it is one of the essentials for a perfect beauty treatment. But be careful how you apply it! To make sure you don’t go wrong, smile and accentuate only the bulging area. When it comes to choosing the right shade, focus on your skin tone and eye color. But that’s not all. The choice of blush also depends on the choice of a lipstick. The two products must be coordinated for a successful pink makeup! So, which lipstick to choose? Choose matte for a full, perfectly defined pink mouth, or glossy if your lips are thin. You can also opt for darker shades on the mouth and lighter shades on the eyelids to make a nice contrast.
