Are you a member of the generation that baby boomers love to say grew up on participation trophies? Do you stand on tables in restaurants — just to photograph your Eggs Benedict? Have you considered quitting your job to start a meme? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then boy, have we got a color for you.
In case you missed it, The Cut wrote a hilarious article about how millennials (especially women) are all obsessed with the same muted shade of pink. Seriously, it's everywhere: in advertisements, on clothing racks, and even in our makeup bags. That's right — regardless of whether or not you realize it — we've been swiping and smearing this trendy color all over our faces for a while.
Ahead, we've rounded up our favorite products that match the millennial aesthetic. Pink is back, ya'll — and it's more Instagrammable than ever.
One coat of this polish gives nails a hint of healthy flush; two is sweet, milky perfection.
Jin Soon Nail Lacquer in Dolly Pink, $18, available at Nordstrom.
The peachy hue gives cheeks a gorgeous, natural-looking glow. What's more, it works on a wide range of skin tones.
Colourpop Eye Shadow in Shop, $5, available at Colourpop.
A salmon-toned pink makes for a cool statement lip that's less expected than red, orange, or fuchsia. Pair it with a coat of mascara and you're set.
MAC Lipstick in Crosswires, $17, available at MAC.
The matte finish of this NARS shadow is what keeps it from looking too twee on your lids.
NARS Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow in Kari, $29, available at NARS.
It's fitting that our go-to blush when we were in middle school was the OG millennial pink.
CoverGirl Cheekers Blush in Natural Rose, $4.99, available at Ulta Beauty.
Even our color-correcting products are getting in on the action. This tube from Armani brightens dark undereye circles on fair-to-medium skin tones.
Giorgio Armani Master Corrector Color Corrector in Pink, $40, available at Giorgio Armani.
Even though this is technically lipliner, you can swipe this rose-toned hue all over your lips for a dusty-pink pout.
Stila Stay All Day Lip Liner in Rosé, $20, available at Sephora.
