Who can wear pink lipstick?

Everyone can wear pink lipstick! It may not be as classic as red, or as unobtrusive as a nude, but the right pink can be the perfect pop of colour to put a spring in your step.

There are pinks to suit every mood, occasion and skin tone...
A soft mauve pink like Faux is the ultimate “your lips but better” colour on fair to medium skin tones, while Pink Nouveau is a proper Barbie pink with the same satin finish. Show Orchid is the ultimate hot pink (not for the faint of heart) while Saint Germain, with its whitened base, is the 1960’s in a tube.

As well as doing a huge array of pink lipsticks, MAC has the perfect range of Lip Pencils to go with them. Edge To Edge is the perfect dirty blue pink tone great for pairing with your slightly softer pink lipsticks like Brave, whilst Talking Points is great for those more daring fuchsia tones.

PRO TIP:
Don't forget to prep your lips first to ensure your chosen shade stays on for longer. Apply a thin coating of Prep + Prime Lip over the entire lip area as well as over the lip edges to smooth and refine them before popping on your colour, and voila, perfectly hydrated lips that last. There is something slightly dangerous and daring about a properly pink lipstick, but it also implies an air of not taking oneself too seriously. If you’ve always fancied yourself a pink lipstick wearer but been afraid to indulge, I highly recommend you take the plunge.
