9 Beautiful Ways to Wear Pretty Pink Makeup

True, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. But eyes, cheeks, and lips in any other hue? Most definitely not. Rose is the color of excitement, anticipation, liveliness, vitality, and lest we forget, romance. And sure, with Valentine's Day right around the corner, you might feel even more inclined to dip into your pink powders or dab on a dusty rose lipstick than you might normally. But over here, we don't need a holiday to celebrate the full range of rosy hues — from the not-too-cloyingly cute powdery shades to the high-octane hot pinks. We love them all 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, and seven days a week. Here are just nine more reasons that we want to live la vie en rose — and we mean that quite literally (because really, is there any other way?) Nope, we didn't think so either.

Back when people used to make rules about what makeup you could and couldn't wear — this brand included — red heads weren't supposed to wear pink. Which was, obviously, total nonsense.Chastain's strawberry strands have a pinkish cast, which is only accentuated by her soft rose glow.

Putty pink doesn't sound appealing. But when you see it on Michelle Williams, paired with platinum hair and a whisper soft dress, then you might just reconsider.

Imagine the color of red rose petals that have blossomed, dried, and gracefully fallen from the stem. Now take a look at Joan Smalls's shadow. Uncanny, right?

You know those acid pink roses they sell at bodegas and grocery stores? That very artificial color looks cool and not the least bit tacky when drawn in wide cat-eyes and paired with a slinky black dress, like scene here on Emily Ratajkowski.
