FYI: Pink Makeup Is Officially Trending at the Met Gala
As stars arrive at this year's Met Gala, beauty and fashion fans worldwide are glued to their screens. This year's theme is "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty" and the dress code du jour is "in honor of Karl." While anything goes in the beauty realm, we're beginning to detect an emerging trend.
In the beauty realm, the color of the moment is undeniably pink. The best part of this materializing color trend is that stars are taking the classic color and subverting it in the most interesting ways to make their makeup stand out.
