For a real boost of freshness, this lipstick has no equal. The good news? It is easy to adopt.
Forget matte lipsticks and overly defined contours that harden the lines. This year, on the Oscars red carpet, a completely different look stole the show from designer dresses. From Emma Stone to Anne Hathaway, stars have abandoned dark colors or sulphurous red for an ultra-fresh lip, which immediately gives a youthful look to the face.
The secret to this look spotted on Gracie Abrams or Kate Hudson? A tender color and a melting texture that simply enhances the natural shade of the lips, without overdoing it. No more “made-up” effect, we are now looking for this “bitten lips” side that is both romantic and modern. Easy to adopt, this beauty gesture illuminates the complexion in one pass, and good news: this trend focuses on softness and is already shaping up to be the most desirable of spring. Want to be a trendy girl? You just have to fall for the rosy lips. Standard of natural and sophisticated makeup, it does not seek to transform the face but rather to enhance it and gives an immediate “healthy glow” effect, especially after 40 or 50 years.
To try pink lips, several options are available to you. First, what we call “ballet slipper lips”. It’s a very soft pastel pink, inspired by the color of a ballet dancer’s slippers. Easy to wear, it suits all skin tones. For her part, Emma Stone opted for blurred lips, a technique popularized by celebrity makeup artist Nina Park. It consists of tracing the contour of the lips then blurring it with a brush or a cotton swab. Then apply a pink or nude shade to the center of the mouth, stretching the color. This tip gives the lips a soft and romantic side at the same time. The idea is not to have something very strict but that the color seems infused into the skin. Finally, actress Kate Hudson preferred a very glossy version of pink lips. Forget the drying matte, the star chose a tinted balm texture for a shiny finish and a plumped effect. The result is natural and radiant at the same time!
As you will have understood, the hardest part will not be adopting the trend, but choosing your side. Between the ultra-modern blurred effect or the more classic version, there is no shortage of options to succumb to this burst of freshness. One thing is certain: in 2026, we see life in pink and it does a lot of good to the complexion. Shall we get started?
