The beauty products above make great ways to introduce these colors into your routine. If you’re obsessing over the romantic look of Rose, try MAC Tined Lipglass in Dreamy for your pout or a rose gold shimmer for your eyes. If you want to keep the look feminine but bold, pair your pinks with a swipe of Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush in Soft Rose on your cheeks.
