The contemporary poet Nicki Minaj once said, "I can't see myself without pink lipstick. I can go without it for a couple days, but if there was no more pink lipstick in the world, I'd be useless." That's the power that a rosy lip look holds. It may not get as much credit as its classic red counterpart, but do not get it twisted! Pink still gets the job done.
We've had quite a few guests on Cosmo Queens that knew how to utilize this color all too well. So, for your viewing pleasure/future makeup inspo, we've compiled some of the hottest pink lip colors ever used in the series. Let it be known, however, that many of our guests love this lip look (rightfully so.) So many, that that we needed to split up our 'Best of' compilation into two parts! There was just too much greatness!
Tune in to part one of this roundup, because you've got to see how queens like Miz Cracker, Mariah Balenciaga, and more were able to make pink their color.
