Pretty in Pink - Add Colour to Your Life
A monochrome life can be a little boring, think of a world where you only see black&white but no other colour, how bad would it be? There are so many ways to add colours to your life, even if you are only into wearing monochromes it doesn't mean that you can't add some fun colours to your makeup, right? How about rose quartz or bright pink, it is good to be pretty in pink!
Spring&Summer should be all about bright and fun colours, even though you might like a good berry lipstick, it might be time to leave it behind and lean towards pinks, corals and even orange, if you're confident enough. You might not be confident enough to wear all pink makeup, but it is all about taking baby steps, one after another. You can give pink lips, eyes and blush a try, even if you don't like any it is all about experimenting and finding what you actually like. One of the easiest ways to change the makeup is the lipstick, so why don't you start pretty in pink with a pink lipsticks?
Pretty in Pink - How to Add Colour to Your Life
Pink Lips
Some people say "Every woman should have a red lipstick", it is the same for pink as well. There are so many different shades of pink, from nude pink to bright pink, there's one for everyone's taste. Pink lips look good with natural/minimal makeup too, so you can easily achieve your effortless chic look with one step. You can choose something that is recommended for your skin tone. For instance, for fair skins peachy pinks, medium skin natural nude pinks and for deep toned skins more purple toned pinks. If you have some time to kill then you can take a short quiz to find your perfect shade of pink.
Pink Cheeks
Who doesn't like soft pink coloured cheeks? Depending on your choise, you can have really natural look or dramatic one, it is all on your hands. Pink cheeks suit everyone and it goes perfect it almost every makeup, to make it more fancy you can add pinkish highlighter. For instance, baby peachy pinks are perfect for fair skin, just find your perfect pink cheek colour this season. Also glowy cheeks are in this Summer, so let's give it a try.
Pink Eyes
It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but there's no harm giving it a try. Pink eye makeup suits blue/green eyes more, however, it is all about experimenting and mixing different colours. If you're into neutral/brown eye makeup, you can use soft pinks as a crease colour and blend in well, so you don't need to wear all pink eye makeup. Also, if you get sun kissed skin, then it is one of the colours you should try out.
Pink Nails
Who doesn't like colourful nails? Wearing pink nails is the easiest way to add pink to your life, soft pink nails might be a good start point. If you already have some tan, bright pinks is your perfect colour. Just try some of spring&summer nail trends, they are really all fun.
We might all have our favourite makeup routine and colours, but there's no harm trying different things, doing things we are not comfortable of doing. Just break the boundaries and try something different, like pink, purple, green, whichever you feel like experimenting. You can be pretty in pink or green or any other colour, it is all about wanting it! What are your favourite pink beauty essentials?

I'm such a girly girl so pink is my favourite colour. Right now I love OPI's Can't Hear Myself Pink for my nails and also MAC lipstick in the shade Angel which has been a favourite of mine for years :) x
Angel is a beautiful shade, I need to try it on :)
Pink is my favourite colour! I love having pink cheeks or pink lips but pink on my eyes doesn't suit me sadly. It makes it look like I have a rash or something haha, probably because I have brown eyes as well. Pink is a fun colour! Sally - <a href="http://www.diagonsally.com" rel="nofollow">DiagonSally</a>
Pink eyes don't suit me as well, so I stick to pink lips, cheeks and nails :)
As you probably already know, I really struggle to find pinks which suit me ( I'm quite fair and, oddly enough, peachy pinks don't really suit me) yet I do agree that pink is the prettiest spring/summer shade! http://fannyanddailybeauty.com
Struggle is real with pink. It is a pretty colour however it is really hard to find the perfect colour which suit you.
I think that pink eyes can be good if you do them in moderation, my eyes are green so it helps bring out the colour
Pink suits green eyes a lot, I wish it would suit brown eyes too.
I think that pink eyes can look good on some skin tones. Pink lips and nails, however, are something that everyone can try :) It's all about finding the right shade like you said Rachel xx http://www.thedailyluxe.net
Pink eye makeup suits green eyes more, however the rest is perfect for everyone. Pink is the prettiest colour :) x
pink on my nails is about the only place I can pull proper pink off. I really suit a dusty pink colour, but proper pink ins't a good look on me, think rupauls drag race, and not in a good way lol Erin || <a href="http://www.makeerinover.co.uk" rel="nofollow">MakeErinOver</a>
There's shade for everyone :) I am trying to wear bright pinks, I do't think they suit me well, however makeup is all about fun :)

Pink eyeshadows don't suit me as well, however pink lips and pink cheeks are my favourite :)
Oh yes, I'm always on board with injecting more colour into life - and even more so when it's pink!

I'm so happy you included pink eyes! It sounds like such an unappealing look but I've found a bit of blush between my eyes and eyebrows really helps bring out my eyes! I'm glad to hear I'm not the only it works for!
Once you find your true pink colour then it looks appealing. I am still looking for mine however I love pink lips and cheeks.

Adding a bit of colour to life is good, even if it is just makeup :)
I just love pink! It is such a lovely colour, and I don't get why some people think it's 'too feminine' or whatever. I agree with you, pink is great for spring and summer and I tend to wear more shades of pink around that time! I love nudy pink nail polish, and pink cheeks! However I'm still a bit scared about pink eyeshadow, apart from the very lightly pink shades of the Naked palette 3. I'll have to try though, there is indeed no harm in doing so! :) Julia x www.juliaspeaksbeauty.blogspot.fr
Even some men rock in pink, so it is not too feminine ;) Pink eye makeup don't suit me, I guess I haven't found my colour yet however I love wearing pink lips and cheeks. Pink is a perfect colour for this time of year :) x
I love the sound of adding pink into your makeup, although I'm not a big fan of very pink lipsticks but pink nails in summer time is very pretty! x Ann-Marie | http://facetocurls.com

Ha ha, we all change so never say never ;) I was the same with berry lips however now it is my favourite thing and I can't wait for Autumn so I can wear it more often :)

I am really bad at working with pinks so I think my best bet is pink nails! I blended too much Milani blush in Rose D'Oro onto my cheeks for my liking the other day and I couldn't cope with it even though it was probably what is considered a "normal" amount of blush haha.

You should start with small amount or mixing it with other colours, it is all about getting used to it :)
