Growing up, were you a Barbie girl? For some, the doll represents hours of happy childhood memories, whilst others have always found Barbie’s style a little too plastic-fantastic. Now, with the release of the Barbie film, directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie, Barbie fans old and new are getting ready to raid the dressing up box in celebration.
If you want to join in with the fun without going full-on fuchsia, use these ideas to bring a little glitz and glamor that won’t look out of place in the office.
Pink Nails
Deep magenta or ballet-slipper pink, the choice is yours. Depending on the shade, pink nails can look sophisticated, girly, slick or even grungy. You could even imitate Robbie’s recent manicure, which saw a base of pale lilac with funky fuchsia on the tips!
Pink Eyeshadow
Not for the faint-hearted, pink eyeshadow can look a little intense for a weekday. In clips from the Barbie film, Robbie is seen wearing just the faintest rose-gold shimmer, a subtly glamorous and gorgeous look.
Pink Lips
Last but not least, you can always opt for a classic pink lip. There is a pink lipstick shade to suit everyone, and it can feel less ‘business’ than a full-on red lip. Channelling your inner Barbie is meant to be fun, after all!
