Exhibit A: 11 Celebs Who Make a Case for Wearing Pink Makeup (and Lots of It)
Few colors look good on everyone, but there's one notable exception: pink. No matter your skin tone or undertones, there is a shade of pink that will flatter you. Pink brings out the natural flush in our skin, and it works to brighten and warm the face.
Many celebs have caught onto this phenomenon. Pink used to be reserved for the apples of our cheeks or worn as a lipstick, but now it's a red carpet heavy-hitter for all over the face. Hunter Schafer, Zendaya, Doja Cat and more have been spotted rocking the trend. Keep reading for the pink makeup looks we've been obsessing over—and find out how to re-create them yourself.
Our favorite pink makeup looks, modeled by celebs:
1. Jordan Alexander
This twist on a classic smoky eye is easy to re-create and will make everyone do a double-take.
Re-create it at home:
2. Lily Rose Depp
At first glance, Depp's makeup look is neutral and minimal, but a pop of pink placed strategically in the inner corners helps brighten the whole face.

3. Doja Cat
Doja Cat always has enviable makeup looks, but we can't stop staring at this pink shadow that brings all the attention to the eyes.

4. Dua Lipa
Draped blush is one of our favorite ways to wear pink makeup. Choose a vivid blush and blend it up toward your temples, and then toward your eyelids. Though it may seem out there, draped blush actually makes you look so fresh-faced (plus, it makes your cheekbones appear higher).

5. Hailey Beiber
Bright pink eyeliner offers a fresh, playful take on a staple. Use it in your waterline like Beiber for an eye-catching but subtle statement.

6. Hunter Schafer
Schafer's makeup is minimal while still packing a punch. To try this look yourself, keep the rest of your face neutral, and pack on a mauve shadow in your outer corners.
Re-create it at home:
7. Gigi Hadid
The best part about this shimmery eye makeup is that it only takes one product to complete. Pair with a matching lipstick for the perfect monochrome vibe.
Re-create it at home:
8. Zendaya
Take a page out of Zendaya's book and make the focus of your makeup the liner under your eyes. A light, shimmery pink creates depth and brightness.
Re-create it at home:
9. Lana Condor
Condor's eyes wow in this fun, daring look. Keep the rest of your makeup simple, and opt for twinkling shades of bright pink.
Re-create it at home:
10. Lizzo
Lizzo went all out in full glam for this dreamy rose-toned look. Put glittery shadow on the lids and glitter lipstick to match for a glamorous vibe fit for a red carpet.
Re-create it at home:
11. Issa Rae
Yes, you can still create a deep, sultry smoky eye using pink. Use a lighter color in the crease to carve out the look.
