Thinking pink? You’re not alone. With the Barbiecore hangover upon us, we’re all for pops of pink, especially for the summer. From fashion to makeup
to even home decor, it has taken over almost everything. So if you’re ready to put on your rose-tinted glasses (literally), but can’t figure out where to begin, we’ve got your back.
The easiest way to wear pink is on your lips. From a creamy light pink to a bold, vampy shade, here are our top recommendations that flatter diverse skin tones.
