Yes, I know that seems like a dramatic declaration, but really, who doesn’t love a gorgeous pink lipstick? It’s one of the most universally flattering makeup looks out there, and like its cousin red lipstick, it can glam up an outfit in seconds. Celebs are already in on this beauty secret: I’ve seen more fuchsia lip looks at fashion shows and awards shows this fall than ever before. So why the hot pink? Makeup artist Anetta Klemens tells me that the new lip trend is all about “brightening up and looking more alive”—a grin-and-bear-it response to this tough and wacky year. The trick to pulling off a sexy pink lipstick like Mischa Barton’s (who, by the way, is wearing Nars Lipstick in Funny Face semi-matte fuchsia in this snap) is to go easy on the eye makeup. Just stick to a neutral shadow and add a few coats of mascara. Another good trick? Try bronzer instead of blush. When you restrict the pink hue to your pretty smile, it’ll make your bold lip look stand out even more. If the straight-from-the-tube color seems too bright for you, try blotting it down gently to create more of a stain, then finish with clear lip gloss. -Glamours Andrea Pomerantz Lustig
