Barbie, starring Margot Robbie, and an all-pink Valentino show were required to rekindle the world’s passion for the colour pink. And right now, everything connected to Barbie’s plastic fashion world seems to be attracting our attention, not just the colour pink. There are several sources of inspiration, including the Mean Girls, Tyra Banks in the movie Life-size, Marilyn Monroe singing Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend, Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde, and Paris Hilton’s various looks. Y2resurgence K’s in style has also contributed to Barbiecore’s success.
How to create a Barbiecore look?
Barbiecore is all about adding lots of pink to your appearance, and makeup is the ideal way to do this. “Pink makes everyone look attractive. All you have to do to create Barbiecore right now is turn up the pink everywhere. Barbiecore may seem unimportant, but on a deeper level, it’s forming as an organic response to how women are perceived and what femininity will actually entail in 2022, according to famous hair and makeup artist Daniel Bauer, who has worked with actors like Katrina Kaif.
The 2015 Moschino fashion show, in my opinion, featured the most amazing Barbiecore looks, claims Bauer. He continues by saying that you can go all out with pink hair and battle paint. Bauer claims that he has had a pink obsession his entire life. Pops of pink and lively fuchsia lips are popular now that masks are being removed. Although gloss is preferred, you can choose matte if you want to be safe. Apply a small amount of Laniege lip balm over a matte lip colour to produce a glossy lip that won’t budge. This will give you nourished, glossy, and stain-free lips. You have complete artistic freedom to use huge eyes and lips, but in the appropriate tones. To avoid appearing overdone, keep the base/blusher clean, advises Bauer. You can get doll-like lashes by using Selena Gomez’s most recent mascara trick, in which she uses tweezers to clump her lower lashes.
I prefer to line with a neutral or sheer pencil and then top with a creamy matte pink shade that is similar. Lip Injection from Too Faced is excellent for pouty, glossy lips. There are lovely baby pink glosses from Hourglass, Dior, Ruby’s Organics, Sephora, and Dior, according to Fernandes. You might choose a half-up, half-down hairstyle or a clean, bouncy ponytail for your hair. “The voluminous blow dry from the 1990s is ideal for Barbiecore. Consider stars from that era like Karisma Kapoor, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, and Kate Moss, advises Fernandes.
Pinks for Indian skintone
The monotone style has been popular for a while and is making a comeback in pink. It is Barbiecore if you use bright colours like pink, but you can also use more subdued hues. According to famous hair and makeup artist Pooja Rohira Fernandes, everyone is interpreting it in their own manner. Pink can have either chilly or warm undertones. For Indian skin tones, peachy pinks and dusty rose pinks are excellent. Very vivid pinks are not recommended for lips with pigment since they occasionally look ashy or washed out. There is a faint undertone of brown in dusty rose. According to Fernandes, popping pink can also look good on some people. Just a single colour wash and gobs of mascara will do. Try pink gel eyeliners as well. Barbiecore’s primary colour is pink, but you can also experiment with other gentle pastel tones.
