Meet You at The Ballet Barre

Pretty IN PINK

A ballet girlie always nails the dewy look. “Think of this as a combination of two other beloved viral beauty trends: strawberry makeup and glazed doughnut skin,” Kyle shares. Keep your base lightweight and glowy, then blend pink cream blush onto the apples of your cheeks and across the bridge of your nose. “For the eyes, I love to emulate the satin finish of a ballerina’s signature flats with pearly shadows,” says Kyle. Use the same cream blush as a base, then add a shimmery shade to the center of the lids and the inner corners of the eyes.

Sweep a touch of highlighter across your cheekbones, then finish with pink lipstick. “Apply it to the center of the lips, then use a fluffy makeup brush to blend out, creating a just-kissed touch of color,” Kyle advises. Finish with a gloss for extra shine.

There’s just something so dreamy about the off-duty ballet dancer aesthetic—it’s the perfect mix of ultra-girly and athleisure.
