How to achieve a pink makeup look for Fall

I used to avoid pink eyeshadow like the plague. I was scared if I didn’t apply it correctly, I’d look like I had pink eye. Adding a pop of colour to the lid, or the lips and checks, can instantly give the appearance of a fresh, healthy complexion.  Surprisingly, if applied correctly, pinks and peaches can be quite versatile. It’s a look that we saw all summer, and it looks like it’s going straight into fall. Whether you decided to show off your flawless skin with a bold dusty rose eye look, a lipstick shade to match your outfit, or a pop of pink on the cheeks, pink is making a huge statement for autumn and into the cooler months.

For concealer, it’s been all about the Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer. Nothing I was too interested in, considering I have dry skin, but it was surprisingly perfect for my dehydrated skin.
