Create Your Barbie Makeup Look With These Black-Owned Faves

Last Updated on August 12, 2023

These Barbie makeup items are giving “This Barbie is a baddie!” They look great on olive to dark skin tones.

Barbie is making a massive resurgence right now. It’s a few weeks now until the launch of the new Barbie movie. Everyone and their cats are probably seeing pink everywhere they turn. So, we’re bringing you our top list of makeup items to achieve your best #BlackBarbie look.

Step 1: Perfect Your Base

The first step to any makeup look is your foundation or tinted moisturizer. If you have one already in mind, move on to Step 2. Otherwise, we recommend UOMA’s Say What! Foundation, a fragrance-free hydrating foundation that comes in 51 shades. Or, for a lighter natural coverage, grab Fenty Beauty’s Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint. Be sure to wear a good hydrating primer underneath so that your foundation stays in place all day.

Step 2: Blush in Pink

We skipped contouring as this is optional (and pink contour sticks aren’t a thing…yet.) As for blushes, they truly do bring a beautiful wash of color to the skin. And for a Barbie look, pink blushes are non-negotiable. Here are our top picks of blushes to create your Barbie makeup look.

Step 3: Adorn The Eyes

Bring your barbie makeup look together with these eyeshadow items – from mauve shades to monochrome blush pinks to suit olive to dark skin tones. For full glam, decorate your eyes with Bling It gems from Thread Beauty.

Step 4: Prep Your Pout

Nothings screams Barbie than pink lips. Here’s our selection of three lipsticks in different formulas and degree of boldness.

Step 5: Don’t Neglect Your Nails

Head on out for a fresh pink set or get these black-owned nail polishes delivered for a D.I.Y session.
