There is a startling urban beauty legend concerning brown skin and pale pink lips. According to some, Nicki Minaj is to blame for black women wearing harsh shades of matte pastel pink lip color. With Nicki Minaj’s new Viva Glam Nicki 2 Lipglass hitting MAC counters, this beauty trend is unstoppable. Where’s a high-fashion pink pucker done right when you need one?
June Ambrose Does the Pretty Pink Rock
Enter June Ambrose. The respected style maven invites her followers to exclusive peeks of her BeautyBar. Among her snapshots, there are several of the stylist wearing picture perfect posh pink. Not surprisingly, every single choice is super flattering on her smooth brown skin. For example, June shared a snap of herself applying lip liner as lip color. “Staining my lips with Bobbi Brown Candy Color Lip Pencil[.] It gives me a long-lasting pink pucker,” she revealed. Get the look with Bobbi Brown Lip Liner in Ballet Pink, Brownie Pink, Pale Pink, Pink Mauve or Rose.
I mistakenly thought Mrs. Ambrose was a lipstick-only type of spirit but alas, I was wrong. Rude red lips aside, she’s been known to gravitate to lip wear on the softer side of sheer. Take this barely there, blush balm June models with aplomb. The way it enfolds the lips is charming and feminine, all the while providing adequate sun protection too! “Due to the boldness surrounding my look today[,] I’m sporting Colour Riche Pink [Satin] Lip Balm with SPF 15.” Get the look with L’Oreal Colour Riche Balm in Pink Satin.
“Pairing my Maybelline Perpetual Peony lip color with my melancholic state of mind,” reflects Ambrose. Even when wallowing in despair, the “Effortless Style” author is working a pretty in pink mouth. This particular product seems to mold to every fold and crease in the lips, so it’s mandatory to prepare the mouth with a nourishing lip treatment. Some of June’s favorites include Rosebud Salve, Clarins ‘HydraQuench’ Moisture Replenishing Lip Balm, and Lucas PawPaw Ointment. Get the look with Maybelline Super Stay 14 Hour Lipstick in Perpetual Peony.
June stays on the move with a “pouty pink lip” such as MAC Lipstick in Pink Nouveau, a bubblegum pink that made Nicki Minaj famous. This Barbie-approved shade can read harsh and flat on some, but to see Pink Nouveau complement richer skin tones with ease is refreshing. Paired with fashion-forward shades and stylish diamond studs, the chic factor for Pink Nouveau rises considerably. Shop Pink Nouveau Lipstick and Tinted Lipglass at MAC Cosmetics.
This is the moment where all the devoted Barbs of the world are converted to super feminine StyleSocials. Ambrose’s BeautyBar lip secret is Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick SPF 15 in #30 Faubourg Peach. In her Juniverse, “dark hard contrast colors” are paired with soft lips with throwback 40s inspired eye makeup. As promised in the description on Sephora.com, the Rouge Volupte drenches the lips with a satin veil of sensuality as only a signature lip can.
