The models at the Moschino Spring 2015 show were like Barbie dolls coming to life. With a bubble gum flirty pink lip, soft make up and flirty exaggerated lashes, this look was as girly as it gets. Don't have fair skin and platinum blonde hair? Here are a few steps to make this look work for you even if you thought you could never pull off pink lipstick with dark hair and olive complexion.
This look is all about lips! Pink lipstick can be tricky so keep in mind your skin tone and the rest of your make up. If you are doing a smokey look for evening you can go for a soft nude lipstick like Tom Ford's Nude Vanilla. For a hint of shine add MAC's Snob Lipglass gloss The wrong light pink shade could wash you out so make sure you experiment with different shades. An easier way to wear a pink if you have darker features is to go bright and vibrant. MAC recently collaborated with Miley Cirus on a sexy hot pink hue for VIVA GLAM, along with a matching gloss. This shade is great if you are wearing minimal make up and want to brighten up your look. One of MAC's best selling colors this year was Candy yum-yum. If you want to go all out with your "Barbie" pink Moschino look, this is the shade for you. Keep in mind the brighter and darker the pink the easier to pull off. Step outside your comfort zone, this might even become your favorite lip color for spring!
Now that we have your perfect pink picked out lets start on your base. How do these models look so perfect and doll like? Start out with a perfect foundation to match your skin, like NARS Sheer Glow Foundation coupled up with NARS Radiant Creamy concealer. Benefit's High Beam is really easy to use as a highlighter because it comes with a brush applicator that kind of looks like a nail polish bottle. Apply this above your cheeks and a little bit on your forhead in the center towards your hair line to get a radiant happy glow. The models looked like they only had bronzer on their forehead almost like an ombre dark to light look. Stilla stay all day 10 in 1 HD bronzing beauty balm is a cream bronzer, apply a very small amount and warm up your hairline with this.
Beware! Pink lipstick with the wrong blush or eyeshadow can be a make up nightmare. The next two steps have to be very light to avoid looking like you just left the circus! A light pink natural looking blush like Stila's Convertible color duo lip and cheek cream in Gerbera is perfect. Using your ring finger, dab on Dolce & Gabbana Beauty Perfect Mono Pearl Cream Eye Color in Gold Dust on your eyelids. Skip the eyeliner and go all out with your lashes. If you're feeling extra flirty, get a pair of false lashes like MAC's #43. Brush up your brows with MAC Brow Set in Beguile.
The hair in this show was all about volume and shine. A softer more natural minimal look works well with a bright pink lip but if you want to go all out on this sexy bombshell look, grab your curling iron. On second day hair, when you hair is a little dirty and will hold better, curl your entire hair. After doing this grab a comb or you fingers and start combing up or teasing from the end of your hair to the top. This will create more volume. Set this sexy look with Serge Normant Meta Lux Hair spray. This look is fun and joyful so make sure to leave your Barbie dream house with a smile.
