My Favorite Pink Products in Honor of National Pink Day.

Did you know that today is National Pink Day? I bet you didn't. I didn't even know it until I read it somewhere yesterday. The significance is something I cannot put my finger on, so in my mind, it is a day to simply celebrate the pretty color that is pink. In honor of that, I have compiled together some of my favorite pink beauty products.

For blushing in pink, I have a few favorites. The first is a blush from Make Up For Ever, called Sculpting Blush ($24). It comes in 7 pink shades, but my favorite is #6, a fresh flushed pink in a satin finish.  It is just so pretty! For the cheek stain lover, try Tarte's Natural Cheek Stain ($28) in A Perfect Whirled, with a beautiful coral and seashell pink that are swirled together. And my good old staple in the form of pink blush is Dandelion ($26) from Benefit. With this, you just cannot go wrong.

For the lips, there is plenty of pink choices whether you want to go with a lip gloss or a lipstick. I recently tried FACEatelier lipstick ($18) in Pink Cashmere. It is the prettiest pearly mid-toned pink. If you want to add a little plump to your pink pout try Sephora's Plumping Lip Gloss ($10) in #03, a beautiful Rose with silver glitter infused.  And for a long lasting pucker, Tarte's Rise & Shine Waterproof Lip Stain & Plumping Gloss ($21) in Pink will do the trick. The stain sets in just about 15 seconds and simply apply the gloss over it for a finishing touch. It will last you all night!

For my nails, pink is always in. My favorite pink polishes are Lumene's Quick & Chic Nail Polish ($4.99) in Smiling Night from your local CVS, Essie's Pinkadelic Polish ($8), OPI's Fair Dinkum Pinkum ($8), Very Sexy Makeup Nail Lacquer ($9), in Nibble, Estee Lauder's Pure Color Nail Lacquer ($18) in Ballerina Pink, and Chanel's Nail Colour ($18) in Pink Satin.

Shu Uemura’s Painting Gel Liner Collection.

Shu Uemura’s ultra-smooth, highly pigmented, long lasting gel eyeliners are just what this wanna-be makeup artist longs for. The new Painting Gel Liner Collection is a variety of artistically selected shades and textures, making it fun to mix and match colors for unlimited possibilities.

 

The colors are all beautiful. Nine shades range from the darkest shades we normally expect, plus some vivid accent colors, and some with glitter and full wattage shine.

 

 

 

The liners apply beautifully and glide on without tugging. You have about a minute or so to play with the liner once applies. After that, the line is there and there to stay, as my favorite part about these gel liners is just how resistant they are to sweat and tears. The formula does not allow for fading, flaking, chipping or smudging.

 

The Painting Gel Liner shade lineup:

 

  • Black
  • Night Blue
  • Brown
  • White - which I use to soften the darker or brighter colors for my own custom look
  • Vivid Blue
  • Green
  • Purple
  • Gold
  • Silver

The Painting Gel Liners are available now on counters, Shu Uemura boutiques as well as online.
