Girl Power: Pink Is the Hottest Color of the Season

Hot pink is the badass shade of the season, popping up on the spring runways in fiercely feminine incarnations and also in spring makeup collections from Chantecaille, Chanel, Lancôme, and MAC. “Fuchsia isn’t just strong—it’s undeniably happy,” says the makeup artist Jeanine Lobell, who created the look here using MAC’s VersiColour, a stain-gloss hybrid, in Let’s Stay Together. To keep the statement bold, and to avoid that “ring around the mouth,” she recommends filling in lips with a liner in the same shade before applying the gloss. Meanwhile, go easy on the eyes and cheeks. “Stick with one clean coat of black mascara and a sheer blush in a cool hue,” Lobell suggests. “Let the lips rule.”
