Pink Makeup is a reoccurring trend and it is again in for the season to freshen us up in the midst of summer. Favorite color by many(Karl Lagerfeld to name one) there is no shade containing multitudes like the color pink. In Beauty, it can strike as innocent and fresh, but also bold and fierce. Depending on the saturation, pink can take on any character.
Think you can’t rock this hue? There is a pink out there that will play up beautifully with every skin tone, you just have to know how to find it. Read on for tips, tricks, and product picks to get every skin tone in the pink.
Fair Skin
As certain pinks enhance natural pink undertones in the skin, for lighter skin stick with light, sheer or shimmering pinks. You will want to keep it subtle enough to make a soft, feminine statement. You can also choose shades that lean to lilac or peach.
- Add just a wash of dusty pink eyeshadow on the eyelids. Leave eyeliner and mascara out(if you can’t do it without, opt for a brown one for a more natural look). Black and pink are a big NO, as you easily you may have an ’80s flashback on your hands.
- For natural-looking lips, simply add a hint of pink gloss. Pretty petal pink is the way to go for fair skin. Place the majority of the gloss in the center of your lips to make your lips appear fuller.
- A beautiful, subtle way to incorporate sheer pink into your makeup routine is to get highlighter with a pink shimmer. Apply it to the areas of your face that naturally catch the light. You wouldn’t believe the glow! Try this Shimmering Skin Perfector, which is a combination of cool pink and warm peach.
- For a natural look also is great to use cream blusher. Try Tata Harper Volumizing Lip and Cheek Tint in Sweet

- If your pink is too pink and it brings pink undertones in your skin, don’t be afraid to mix and try layering it over a warmer apricot tone.
Medium Skin Tone
These in-between types of skin tone as with most color trends can pull off almost any shade. Nevertheless, our top picks go to the rose shades that have a bit brown or mauve in it.


Dark Skin
Dark skin tones are free to experiment with bold and hot pinks. This means rich, rosy fuchsia, berry, and rose gold. Sure you can wear innocent sheer pink, but why don’t go with some drama when you can. The easiest way to pull off is by wearing an intense lip color. For eyes, if you want to go all-out use hot pink in the form of a statement liner across your top lash line, or all over your lid and smoke it out with a kohl liner like Maybelline Master Kajal.

Barbiecore Meets Vegan Beauty: The Pink Revolution Taking Over 2025
The Barbiecore Effect: Stats, Trends & Cultural Impact
The Barbie movie didn’t just dominate box offices—it fundamentally shifted beauty culture. What started as movie marketing has evolved into a legitimate aesthetic movement that’s reshaping how we think about pink makeup. The numbers tell an incredible story: beyond the 500% spike in Google searches, social media platforms have become saturated with pink-themed content, celebrity endorsements, and user-generated looks that celebrate bold, unapologetic femininity.
“The Barbiecore trend represents more than just pink makeup—it’s about self-expression and breaking beauty rules.”

The cultural impact extends far beyond individual expression. Barbiecore represents a Y2K revival that embraces maximalism over minimalism, playfulness over perfection, and bold color over neutral tones. It’s a direct response to years of “no-makeup makeup” trends, signaling a collective desire for joy and visibility in beauty choices. The aesthetic celebrates plastic-fantastic finishes, high-shine glosses, and that unmistakable hot pink that dominated the 2000s.
What makes this trend particularly fascinating is its democratization through social media. Unlike previous beauty movements that trickled down from high fashion or celebrity culture, Barbiecore has been shaped by everyday users experimenting with pink makeup and sharing their discoveries. This grassroots evolution has made the trend more inclusive and adaptable, encouraging experimentation rather than rigid adherence to specific looks.

The timeline from Barbie movie to beauty aisles demonstrates the speed of modern trend adoption. Within months of the film’s release, major beauty retailers had dedicated pink sections, brands were launching Barbie-inspired collections, and makeup artists were developing signature techniques for achieving that perfect plastic-fantastic finish.

Vegan Beauty: The Hotter Side of Pink
The intersection of Barbiecore and vegan beauty isn’t coincidental—it’s a natural evolution driven by conscious consumer choices. Today’s beauty enthusiasts, particularly Gen Z and Millennials, refuse to compromise between looking good and doing good. This generation understands that true beauty doesn’t require animal testing or animal-derived ingredients, and they’re putting their purchasing power behind brands that align with their values.
“Vegan beauty isn’t just a trend; it’s the future of conscious cosmetics.”
— Melissa Butler, founder of The Lip Bar (Elle Interview)
The vegan beauty market is projected to reach $20.8 billion by 2025, with pink makeup products leading much of this growth. This isn’t just about avoiding animal products—it’s about embracing formulations that are often gentler on sensitive skin while delivering the bold pigmentation that Barbiecore demands.
The environmental benefits of vegan beauty extend beyond individual ethics. Plant-based pigments often require less resource-intensive production processes, and many vegan beauty brands prioritize sustainable packaging and carbon-neutral shipping. When you choose vegan Barbie pink products, you’re participating in a supply chain that considers environmental impact at every stage.

“I thought I’d have to choose between ethical and high-impact makeup, but vegan Barbie pinks are honestly the best of both worlds.”
— Rachel T., Cosset Moi contributor
The formulation science behind vegan pink makeup has advanced significantly. Modern plant-based pigments deliver the same intensity and longevity as traditional formulas, often with added benefits like antioxidant properties from botanical ingredients. These products prove that ethical beauty choices don’t require performance compromises—in fact, many users report that vegan formulas feel more comfortable and look more natural on their skin.
