Help with finding the Perfect Pink Lipstick!?
Posted in Makeup by: adminDecember 31st, 2007
I’ve been on a two year hunt to find the perfect baby pink lipstick and I STILL haven’t managed to find them! I see photos of models all the time with this shade of pink and I can never ever find it in department stores. Can you tell me what shade of pink or recommend a brand to me that might give the same results? Here’s a photo of a girl with the shade of pink lipstick I would like: http://home.rasysa.com/snob-excute/style/image/18531_1.jpg

Wait a few weeks and ask Paris Hilton what she uses!
She seems to have a handle on Pink Lips…

I have a hard time finding good pinks and reds as well, but I’ve always had some luck with MAC cosmetics. If they don’t have the right shade of lipstick, I’m almost positive that they’ll have it in their lipglass or lip lustre (lipglosses).
I wish you well in your search!

Your problem is that your looking for a lipstick when you need to be looking for a tinted gloss. Go to the Mac cosmetics web site and look at the strange hybrid collection

she looks like she is wearing more of a sheer gloss. You’d be surprised that if you try glosses that don’t necessarily look pink in the tube might look pink on you. Try Chanel, Estee Lauder or Lancome’s Juicy Tubes. Go to Macy’s or where ever and just start trying them on!

If you have the exact same skin tone as this model, then this color will appear this way for you. If you are even a little darker, it will make this color look totally different and may seem wrong. I think she is just wearing light pink gloss. Try Clinique lipstick in “baby kiss.” Then dab on clear gloss. Clinique has a good line of baby pink sheer lipsticks, check them out.
Also recommend using an ivory toned make up (not anything bronzey, yellow based or rosey or peachy) in order to give you this baby pink color definition. Good luck, I am sure you will look hot!

You need a gloss so that you get a more defined coverage and more color.
Get a pink gloss. I have a mary-kate and ashley lip gloss which smells great and looks like that. Look at walmart. It’s in a tube and has “Juicy shine | flavored lip gloss” under their names. I have sugar cookie. It looks more tan, but its semi see through finish mixes with the lip tone, and gives a flawless pink.
Who said the shade had to be expensive? It was a couple dollars. One flaw though is I’m not a big fan of the “stickiness” of lipgloss. Maybe try their lipsticks?

You should just go to MAC and show them a picture of this model, tell them that you want something similar to her lip gloss.. I’m sure that there will be something for you… they have lots of color, lots of shade of pink as well and i do mean A LOT!
lolz.. so yeah, just do that and you should be able to stop your search… At the mean time, check out their website and see if you’re able to spot anything you like..
P.S. Always apply a layer of lip balm or lip conditioner before your lipstick or lipgloss, it helps to prevent your lips from peeling…

I was going to say the same thing about the lip gloss - I really love the lip gloss that comes with the christina sullivan natural look kit - it’s an all in one, and I don’t know why people thumb it down when I recommend it. I really really can’t stand lip gloss, yuck, but this one I’m really really impressed and it just goes with everything.

Pink Diamond by Lancome is exactly what you are looking for. It’s totally worth the price. I discovered it a year ago and it was what I wore to my graduation last week. It is gorgeous!

Have you tried Cinema Secrets? I bought a pink lipstick there. They have different shades of pink to choose from. I used that pink lipstick on different models with different skin tones during my photoshoots before. I really love their lipsticks. Their lipglosses are also one of a kind.
