How to wear pale pink lipstick?

I believe there is a pale pink lipstick for every mood, the feel of a pale pink lipstick could be glam, romantic, fun or rebellious. For that reason, it can be quite important to make the right decision when choosing the undertone, texture and what you wear it with to get the mood right!

Let’s talk about what shades and textures you might go for when including a pale pink lipstick in to your makeup look...
  • To me sheer pale pinks create a soft romantic look, the MAC lipsticks that you could choose for this would be powder kiss in the shade Scattered Petals a soft matte warm pink, lustre lipstick in Lovelorn a creamy cool pink and Under The Covers, a dusty rose love me lipstick. I would wear these shades alone, softening the lip line with 219s Pencil Brush.
  • Matte pale pinks are a go to for a full glam look, paired with a lip pencil for the perfect finishing touch to a makeup with the works. Favourite shades from MAC for this would be Please Me a warm petal pink and Date-Maker Powder Kiss Liquid Lipcolour a blushed nude. Pair these shades with a Lip Pencil a couple shades deeper than your skin tone and blend together with a 242s Shader Brush for a perfectly polished pale pink pout.
  • Pale pinks with coral tones can be fun and fresh, great for summer. Check out the MAC shades; Flamingo, a sheer neon coral pink, and Peach Blossom, or Love Me lipstick in Vanity Bonfire press these colours into the lip with a 239s Eye Shader Brush or a finger for a sunny lip that’s perfect for the beach.
