Some Like it Hot Pink: The Prettiest Makeup Shades of the Season

 

Does any other shade contain multitudes like the color pink? Depending on the saturation, pink can take on any character from sweet to bold to sultry — and this season’s makeup options cover all the bases. 

 

 

Dior Tie Dye Ombré Effect Top Coat, $28

Layer this sheer pink-red lacquer on tips to create an impossible-to-screw-up fade effect, or wear it alone to give nails a transluscent blush.

 

NARS x Christopher Kane Lip Gloss in Mezmer, $26

This gloss looks neon in the tube, but goes on sheer to give lips a soft rosy glaze that’s fresh and youthful.

 

Bobbi Brown Pink Cheek Palette, $45

The cool-toned shades in this trio are so sweet and subtle, you might fool everyone into thinking you are that innocent.

 

 

 

NARS x Christopher Kane Blush in Starscape, $30

It doesn’t get much brighter than the shade of this blush in the pan. But since the color is buildable, you can customize an effect that ranges anywhere from innocent to electric.

 

Bobbi Brown Art Sticks in Hot Pink and Hot Berry, $26

Warning: These silky smooth lip pencils are not made for shy personalities. With a mouth this bright and bold, every word you speak is sure to attract attention.

 

 

 

Dior Addict Fluid Stick in Ciel Rose, $35

A hint of brown makes this pink liquid lip color perfect for a wide range of skin tones, and utterly romantic on your kisser.

 

Tom Ford Eye & Cheek Compact in Pink Glow, $95

Summer 2015’s most covetable palette contains an entire makeup look — blush, highlighter, and three eye shadows — that looks like a bouquet of multicolored blooms.
