Pink just might be the new black when it comes to a good smokey eye look. You can combine beautiful shades of pink to make a gorgeous pink smokey eye look suitable for date night, or any night at all.
Pink can look soft and feminine or you can raise the intensity for a high fashion look. Mixed with shades of mauve and purple, pink eyeshadow is a total vibe.
If pink is your thing, read on to find inspo for your next pink makeup look.
Intense Pink Smokey Eye Makeup Looks
If you want a high fashion look, go for intense shades of pink eyeshadow that really pop. Bright and vibrant hot pink and fuchsia should top this list.
Make it matte, make it shimmery, or make it both. Have fun mixing and matching different pink shades until you find your ultimate pink smokey eye look.
These pinks look gorgeous paired with bronzy gold and orange colors.
If you want to make it a little funky, why not try pink eyeliner instead of pink eyeshadow? It’s totally unique and gives a fun and playful high fashion look.
Done right, it even looks office ready.
You don’t have to cover your whole eyelid with pink if you don’t want to. You can still get a dramatic effect if you pair it with shimmery white.
Use the pearly color for the base of the lid and add pink to the outer corners of the eye. You can also add some pink to the crease either slightly or all the way.
I normally don’t like pink and purple together, but if you have the right warm shade of purple to go with your chosen pink it looks amazing.
For a fierce pink smokey eye makeup look, try using purple to line the eyes and add pink to upper eyelid.
Mauve Over, Black
Pink looks amazing next to mauve, so using the 2 together can create the perfect pink smokey eye makeup look.
Mauve is almost like a cross between pink and purple, so it’s no surprise it fits in perfectly well with these looks.
It will look beautiful if you cover the entire eyelid with mauve and blend a dark pink into the crease.
This look is perfect for literally anything. Work, play, fancy events, even couch time.
You can’t go wrong.
Another look you can try is a shimmer pink with lots of mauve in it on the entire lid with a dark shimmer taupe for the crease.
You can also put some in the corners and create a wing with it. The dark outline will emphasize the gorgeous shade of pink on the lids.
And if you really want to go all out, combine it all. Wear pink on the lids, mauve in the crease and outer corners, and line with a shimmery purple.
It sounds like a lot, but together it all just works and you will have your perfect pink smokey eye look.
There are so many different pink eyeshadow palettes out there that come with mauves and purples, and they look so pretty blended together.
With multiple colors in a palette, you can create many different looks just from one palette alone.
Pair shimmers and mattes together and get creative. Makeup is supposed to be fun!
Don’t be afraid to try new things.
And if you are, do it on a day when you don’t have to leave the house.
That way if your experiment turns out bad or you don’t like it for some reason, you won’t have to worry about washing everything off and reapplying your makeup in a hurry.
Simply Pink
If you don’t like to draw too much attention to yourself and like things more on the simple side, you can find beautiful shades of pink that are perfect on their own and go for a more subtle pink smokey eye look.
You can go with something that’s barely there or stick with a more vibrant pick, whatever your preference is.
Pale shimmery pink with a little bit of eyeliner always works. It’s soft looking, simple, and looks more natural.
You can blend the eyeliner in to give it a softer appearance.
Add some mascara and it’s all you need. You are ready for anything.
You don’t have to use multiple shades of pink or add any other colors to enjoy pink eyeshadow looks. If you like it simple but want a little extra glam, find a pink that has some shimmer to it.
You could even find a shimmery pink that has a dusting of fine glitter in it to really make that shimmer stand out.
Bonus if you could find a matching nail polish.
You can bring it under the eyes as well to give the eyes a little lining, which will be faint since pink is light but that adds to the simplistic beauty of it all.
Even without mascara, this look is both pretty and interesting. Minimalism is trending as well.
And if you don’t like shimmery colors, a regular light pink without shimmer works just as well and has an even more natural beauty look.
Matte eyeshadows are always in and have a certain sophistication about them.
They give you a soft, feminine and romantic look. Perfect for date night or any other time you feel like wearing pink.
No eyeliner necessary when you apply it around your whole eye. The eyeshadow gives the effect of the eyeliner but in a much cooler color than the normal ones that we are so used to seeing.
I hope this has inspired you to try some new pink smokey eye looks. Pink has always been a favorite but has recently become more popular than ever.
There is a shade of pink for every mood and personality. Make it look like you’re about to walk down the runway if you please, or keep it on the minimal side.
Once you find the right pinks to go with your skin tone, you have so many options with how you wear them.
So, what do you think? Would you try it? If so, pin these looks for later!
