In case you missed it, the much-anticipated live-action Barbie The Movie is coming out this month. It stars Margot Robbie in the title role and heartthrob Ryan Gosling as her male counterpart, Ken. Even since before the release of the trailer, people have been getting ready for a serious dose of 90s nostalgia. This has naturally led to the #Barbiecore trend, which has infiltrated both the fashion and beauty worlds. And, as you can imagine, it entails a lot of pink!

Pretty in pink
The colour that has long been associated with Barbie, from the bright packaging to the dolls themselves, is pink. For this trend, you can play with hues from soft bubblegum shades to bold fuchsia and add fluffy lashes and glitter accents. Ultra feminine and cheerful, the key to pulling off this look is to wear multiple shades of this fun colour together.

The most obvious take on the #Barbiecore aesthetic is to sport a hot-pink pout instead of your classic red. For those who want a more natural finish, a sheer light-pink lip stain or gloss works too. Overdrawn eyeliner that gives the illusion of bigger eyes is another way that people are paying homage to this cute, but arguably misproportioned doll, as well as a long, fluffy set of lashes.

You can also embrace this beauty trend by bringing some pink into your next manicure or pedicure. Finally, the last important step is to pair your Barbie-inspired make-up with a bouncy blowout or a flicked-up ponytail to complete your look. Now you’re everything.
