The make look features pink halo shimmery eyes, dewy skin, highlighted cheeks, and soft baby pink spotlight lips. The perfect hairstyle to complement this look is intertwined matted hair that leads to a textured, intricately-crafted bun. Of course, the nails get a makeover too, with a pink pastel base with glittery crisscross line art and pearl stone work.
