We Try On Nicki Minaj's Wildly Pink MAC Lipstick

BellaSugar — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 15:00:43 PST

Even before her collaboration with MAC, Nicki Minaj wore her pink lip color everywhere - and with everything. (She even managed to match her lips to her hair color.) With a new album and her own signature lipstick from a makeup giant, I suppose her dedication to the color proves the old adage: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. While I can't imagine coloring my hair pink any time soon, I did get to channel my inner Barbie with her new shade, Pink 4 Friday ($15). It's available only on Fridays, and of course I had to try it on.

Trend Alert: Pretty Pink Lips at the Emmys

BellaSugar — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 04:00:31 PDT

It seems like if you were a damsel of the fair-haired variety, you were bound to wear light pink lipstick to the Emmys. First off, there were peach-pinks like the color Jenna Fischer wore, which her makeup artist created by using Josie Maran Magic Marker in Mambo ($19) topped with Cover Girl Wetslicks Amazemint Lipgloss in Freedom of Peach ($5). Then there were those who opted for gold-pink, like January Jones in Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss in Confidence ($32), and women who went with classic baby doll pink, like Kristin Bauer (aka Pam on True Blood), who wore Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Belle de Jour ($24). Which shade family do you think is most becoming, and is this a color you'll consider for yourself?

Which Pink Lipstick Do You Like Best on Amanda Seyfried?

BellaSugar — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 12:00:37 PDT

Last night at the Mama Mia premiere in London, the typically makeup-free Amanda Seyfried arrived wearing bright pink lipstick. Because of her creamy, pale skin and slate blue eyes, I've noticed that makeup artists often put her in various pink lipsticks. I personally like the mauve in the middle the best, but the balmy-rose is also beautiful. What shade of pink lipstick do you like the most on Amanda?

Trend Alert: Bright Pink Lips

BellaSugar — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 15:00:38 PST

The last time we saw bright pink lips like this was on Elisha Cuthbert and before that it was at the 2007 Spring Diane von Furstenberg Fashion Show. Now, two gorgeous A-list ladies are looking fierce in fuchsia!

Natalie Portman matched her dress and her lips at the Mr. Magorium Wonder Emporium premiere, while Beyoncé sported a shiny pink pout at an autograph signing in Seoul, Korea. I love that stars are starting to experiment with color. How do you feel about this bright pink lip trend? Here are a couple of product suggestions for those of you who are willing to play with pink.

Dior Rouge Dior Replenishing Lipcolor in devilish pink ($26) is a long-wearing lipstick that provides full coverage, moisture, and unrivaled shine thanks to its new Color Reveal Complex. If you are looking for a rich pink to pamper your pout, this is a pretty great product!

For one more magnificent magenta lipstick,

I always love a little Natalie Portman, and what's better than seeing her match her lips to this hot pink number at the premiere of Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium? Even Dustin Hoffman can't help but give her some sugar!

Here are two other photos of her: with nude lips in Parade Magazine and with sheer red lips at the Darjeeling Limited premiere. Which lipstick do you find the most flattering on Natalie?

Love It or Hate It? Elisha Cuthbert's Matchy Pink Lips

BellaSugar — Mon, 14 May 2007 07:07:39 PDT

Bright pink lips are huge right now, but I think Elisha Cuthbert went a bit overboard at a recent poolside BBQ at LA's Roosevelt Hotel. The pink lips and pink outfit are just a bit too matchy for me. What do you think?

Beauty Spring Peek: Matte Fuchsia Lips

BellaSugar — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 12:35:45 PST

The Spring 2007 Diane Von Furstenberg Show was called "All About Eve," as in the first woman. It was meant to look simple, sophisticated and seductive. You can see this reflection not only in her clothes but in her makeup choices as well. She mixed a polished, yet clean and natural, fresh face with a pop of bright fuchsia, matte color on the lips.

Clearly DVF selected the mouth as the seductive focus and kept the rest of the face simple and sophisticated. Nice work. Be sure to check out more of my Spring Peeks.

Grammy Awards: Katy Perry

BellaSugar — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 16:24:07 PST

Katy Perry's been switching her hair color up all the time lately, but right now she appears to be enjoying this faded blue shade. With such an attention-grabbing hue, she wisely kept her lipstick and eye makeup simple: just her standard winged liner and bubblegum pink lip color. Her voluminous updo looks like a good faith attempt to minimize her edgy color as well, but with her exceptional hue, do you think such a traditional hairstyle works?Vote on all of our Grammy Awards polls here!
