My Favorite Candy Pink Kisses
No Caroline Doll look could ever be complete without the perfect pink pout. In my opinion, lips without lipstick is like a cake without frosting — it just isn’t right! I truly believe that if you give a woman the right lipstick, she can conquer the world. Thats why I rounded up a few of my favorite lipsticks just for you, sweet Dolls! Who’s ready for their candy pink kisses to be looking their best?!
MAC Candy Yum-Yum
My signature lip color has always been MAC’s Candy Yum-Yum. With the word “candy” right in the title, this gorgeous shade had to make the list! This bright pop of hot pink fulfills all of my Barbie girl dreams.
MAC Saint Germain
This perfectly sweet pastel pink is another go-to for me. I love how smoothly it goes on and am forever obsessed with it’s long-lasting wear! You can’t go wrong with this gorgeous shade in your collection.
MAC @BarbieStyle
I know this one was a limited-edition color, but it has quickly become a favorite of mine. How could I go wrong with a Barbie and MAC collaboration?!
Too Faced Melted Matte It’s Happening
This stunning color is so special to me — this gorgeous shade is what I wore on our wedding day! This matte magenta gives me ALL the feels. It’s even kiss-proof making it the perfect bridal lip!
Too Faced Melted Matte 1998
Looking for a candy pink pout?! This bubblegum pink is so fun and leaves your lips looking like matte perfection!
Too Faced Melted Matte Child Star
This shade is so popular and I know why! Child Star is my go-to when I’m looking for a soft, neutral lip color. I love how long-lasting it is, too!
Pat McGrath Labs Pink Astral
This is a recent obsession and I just cannot get enough! From the luxe packaging to the lip detail on the tube, I am so in love! This shade is perfectly pink and pearlescent. I love that in just one swipe the rich color perfectly coats my lips.
Pat McGrath Labs Fuchsia Perfect
Okay, this may be the most over-the-top shine I’ve ever seen in a tube of lipstick! The shimmering sparkle of this shade is what originally attracted me to it, but the full-coverage, smooth finish is what truly sold me. This is a must-have for all glam girls!
Pat McGrath Labs Extravaganza
Another fun magenta for you, Dolls! I love how richly pigmented this shade is. It is so smooth and creamy when applied making it a new favorite!
YSL 49 Rose Saint Germain
I have always loved the luxe packaging of the YSL lipsticks and have quite the collection of favorites. This bright rose has a deep color that has my heart!
YSL 19 Le Fuchsia
The satin finish on this deep shade makes it hard to resist. I love how it warms up any makeup look with just one swipe!
YSL 9 Nude Sheer
This is a great neutral lip shade that has an incredible shine to it! I love the finish and find myself reaching for it all the time. Perfectly put together without being too over-the-top!
Christian Louboutin Very Prive
These are definitely more of an investment, but I am so in love! This matte shade is so velvety and rich. I love the luxe packaging and feel so elegant whenever I use it!
Christian Louboutin Bikini
This high-shine glossy shade is perfectly pink and perfectly luxe! I love the pointed applicator because it allows me to create my pout with precision. You’ll be ready to shine in this shade, Dolls!
Christian Louboutin Rouge
It is only right to have a signature red shade from the brand that is known for their red bottomed shoes! Although I typically go for a pink pout, I couldn’t resist this classic red shade. I love the silky, yet matte qualities this lipstick offers!
Now it’s only right that I share my tips + tricks for flawless lipstick application!
Have a great lip exfoliant and prep your lips. I absolutely adore my Bliss Fabulips exfoliant!
Put foundation on your lips as a base.
Line your lips! Start by making a V at your Cupid’s bow. Then slowly trace the shape of your lips. I like to fill in my whole lips with liner. Sometimes I’ll even over draw my lips to get a plumper look. Need some liner recommendations? I swear by MAC for lipliner!
Next, apply in layers. For example, today I did my sugar scrub and put on liner. Then I layered Too Faced Melted Matte Child Star with MAC @BarbieStyle on top.
For extra stay power, I like to use a setting spray. My current go-to is the Morphe x Jefree Star Set & Refresh Mist. I’m not a blotter and I feel like this step helps give my lipstick an extra boost to last me through the day!
Top it off with gloss! My absolute favorite is Chanel 131 Mica.
