Dusty pinks: The prettiest beauty look from the VMAs

The MTV VMAs are a popular platform for self-expression, and this year was no different! But the surprising beauty star was the subtle, sexy shade that’s associated with princesses and My Little Ponies: the most feminine of pinks.

Just look at presenter, Katy Perry, who balanced her edgy pixie cut with striking pink shadow. Or Lorde, who went with a wash of pink shadow on her lids too.

To recreate the look, TRY Maybelline Diamond Glow Eyeshadow in Pink Drama (R149.95) from  clicks.co.za

Hailey Baldwin and Tiffany Haddish were bang on trend too, with cheeks and lips adorned in light washes of the same shade. For the quickest flush, dot your lipstick on the apples of your cheeks and blend, blend, blend. Then swipe the same colour onto your pout.

We adore Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede Lipstick in Silhouette (R219) from  redsquare.co.za.

There’s no need to stop at skin though, as Vanessa Morgan and Nicki Minaj rocked rose gold in their hair.

Not ready for the dye commitment? Simply #spritz on temporary colour using Label.M Powder Pink Spray(R331) from  retailbox.co.za and get ready to shine!
