15 Pastel Makeup Products For The Unicorn Obsessed
This time of year, it's only natural to break out the rich burgundies, deep plums, and muted nudes that have become staples of cold weather makeup. There's certainly nothing wrong with rocking darker hues, but pastel beauty buys have their own vivid allure. For rainbow loving makeup fanatics, blush pinks and baby blues are a must year-round.
It's safe to say that pulling off pastel makeup is no longer reserved for the spring. From non-traditional highlighters to iridescent lip colors, some of the most eye-catching beauty products with unicorn vibes have taken the makeup world by storm. Trading your beloved dark mattes and bold powders for lighter shades may be chartering into intimidating waters if you're not used to opting for light washes of color. But rest assured that pastel makeup isn't as clownish as it may sound. You can accomplish some of the most captivating makeup looks with blush tones, whether you opt for a subtle rose shadow or turn heads with a striking canary liner.
