14 Pink Lip Colors for Valentine’s Day

There’s something about wearing pink lips on Valentine’s Day that just feels *right*!

If you’re looking for the perfect pink for your pout, consider one of these 14 pink lipsticks and glosses.

Bright pinks

Sometimes a bold, bright pink lip is the only way to go. Pair any of these dramatic lips with thick black cat eyeliner and some false lashes for a show-stopping look.

One of my favorites is MAC Hello Kitty Lipglass in Sweet Strawberry ($14), pictured above. Sweet and sexy at the same time!

Or, if you’re in the mood for something less shiny, how about Milani Velvet Lipstick Creamy Lipcolor in Royale ($5)?

For those who want to bring the bling, consider N.Y.C. New York Color Ultra Last Lip Wear in Blue Rose ($2).

Rosy pinks

Okay, so maybe a bold pink lip isn’t your thang; think about rose shades for a more conservative spin. I dig ‘em with shimmery browns or pink shadows and blushes.

Budget lovin’ beauties might love Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Inspired by Carmindy Comfort Lip Color in Pink Blossom($10)…

…or Sally Hansen Moist & Matte Liquid Color in Taffeta ($8).

If you’re in the mood to splurge, Givenchy Rouge Interdit in Maharani Rose ($27) could tickle you pink…

…as could Yves Saint Laurent Pur Gloss in Pure Fuschia ($29)!

Cool pinks

Perhaps you’re thinking about wearing something cool on your eyes. How about one of these cool pinks?

Clarins Joil Rouge Perfect Shine Sheer Lipstick in Pink Sugar($24) would look fab with gray smokey eyes or pale shimmery greens or blues.

Clinique Long Last Glosswear in First Blush ($14) might look pretty with pale frosty pinks or purples.

If your heart desires a cool pink with shimmer and shine, take a look at Sally Hansen Diamond 12 Hour Lip Treatment in In Love ($6).

Warm pinks

Want a warmer pink? N.Y.C. New York Color in Rose Gold ($2) , a fantastic budget bargain, pairs perfectly with washes of warm gold or bronze eyeshadow.

Nude pinks

Last but not least — the nude pink lip! She’s always smokin’ hot with smokey eyes.

Paul & Joe Lipstick in Opening Night ($20) goes well with blue, black or gray smokey eyes.

If you crave more shine, Sally Hansen Natural Shine Lip Gloss in Sweet Pink ($8) will bring the bling to that pout.

And finally, my favorite: Nars Lipgloss in Sweet Revenge ($24). Can’t you see her looking elegant with a warm and shimmery bronze-brown smokey eye? LOVE IT!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

   this is such a great post! thanks Karen! that Clarins one really caught my eye…and the NARS!

7. 7. Glosslizard said, on February 12th, 2009:

   Ooh, Sweet Strawberry looks nicer than I thought! I also really like the Sally Hansen Taffeta and the Maharani Rose (there’s a surprize)!

   I was at MAC this morning and tried a combo with Lavender Whip lipstick topped with Hello Kitty Fast Friends lipglass! It was amazingly beautiful! I still didn’t buy any of them, but Lavender Whip now has my attention for its layering possibilities…..

8. 8. Elena said, on February 12th, 2009:

   I love Milani’s lipsticks! Almost as good as MAC, for about half the price! I also loved your blog post about Craigslist this morning. You cheered me up before a long day.

9. 9. Joanne said, on February 12th, 2009:

   I loved this post! I liked most of the colors. I wasn’t too sure about Sweet Strawberry for HK mac when I saw it in person, but I never tried it in the store. It looks pretty! I especially like the Clarins pink sugar because it looks similar to my favortie discontinued lip color from Aura Science.

    Sweet strawberry is awesome! Just got that with my pre-order from Macy’s yesterday. I even have some stuff being sent from the MAC site. Yeeeee!!!

11. 11. Susan said, on February 13th, 2009:

    So pretty! I love the pinks…I just bought Clinique lipgloss (with SPF) in Fireberry and love it, too. It has a bit of gold shimmer to it, along with the pink.

12. 12. Karen said, on February 13th, 2009:

    Hi Meredith,

    That Nars gloss is the SHIZZ! If you don’t have it you better run out and get it, asap!

13. 13. Karen said, on February 13th, 2009:

    Hi Nadrah,

    I like that one, too. It’s so edgy and different, and the blue makes it really pop!

14. 14. Karen said, on February 13th, 2009:

    Hi Maggie,

    You can’t go wrong with pink lips for V-day!

15. 15. Karen said, on February 13th, 2009:

    Hi Vampy Varnish,

    Heya! How did your interview go?

    Oh, and Clarins lipsticks are *fabulous*! I think you’ll heart Pink Sugar.

16. 16. Karen said, on February 13th, 2009:

    Hi Kate,

    Yay, another Sally Hansen fan! I love their lip stuff. They work great and cost affordable.

17. 17. Karen said, on February 13th, 2009:

    Hi Charlene,

    You’re welcome. Those are two of my faves, so I hope you try ‘em both!

18. 18. Karen said, on February 13th, 2009:

    Hi Glosslizard,

    Yeah, Sweet Strawberry turned out to be quite a hot lipgloss. It looked soo dark in the tube so I wasn’t feeling it at first. Oh, if you try it you’ll have to look for the tiny blue flecks.

19. 19. Karen said, on February 13th, 2009:

    Hi Elena,

    Milani is new to me, and I am feeling the line so far.

    Glad to have cheered you up after a long day. At the time that was written years ago my heart felt like it had been stomped on — it’s good to know that something good came out of it!

20. 20. Karen said, on February 13th, 2009:

    Hi Joanne,

    Bummer that your favorite lip color got discontinued. I hope that Pink Sugar is a good replacement color.

21. 21. Karen said, on February 13th, 2009:

    Hi Lehea,

    SWEEEET! Have you tried any looks yet?

22. 22. Karen said, on February 13th, 2009:

    Hi Susan,

    I heart Fireberry! It’s one of my go-to Long Last Glosswear shades.

23. 23. Vampy Varnish said, on February 13th, 2009:

    Hi! Actually I didn’t interview after all. I decided it just wasn’t going to make me happy either because it’s still not really what I like doing so I backed out. I am happy with that decision.

    I have never bought anything by Clarins, amazing huh? Guess I need to branch out!

    I will have to see pink sugar in person. But I don’t usually spend that much on lipstick. but if its similar, it might be worth the price =).

    Oh! And I haven’t gotten the chance to play with my “too dolly” eye palette. I’m somewhat intimidated by the colors

25. 25. Amanda said, on February 13th, 2009:

    i love them all! great post-I will be doing some pink tomorrow for sure.
