4 Pretty Ways to Wear Pink Makeup

Feeling bold? Even a little sassy? Grab one of these Make Up For Ever Artist Acrylip lipcolors ($24 each; MakeupForever.com), dab a few drops of the rich pigment on your bottom lip, and blend top and bottom with the cushion applicator.

Choose from ten striking shades.
