FYI: Pink Makeup Was Officially Trending At the Met Gala

As stars arrive at this year's Met Gala, every beauty and fashion fan is glued to their screens. This year's theme is "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty" and the dress code du jour is "in honour of Karl." For beauty, however, anything goes—but we're starting to sense an emerging trend. 

In the beauty realm, the colour of the hour is undeniably pink. The best part of this materialising colour trend is that stars are taking the classic colour and subverting it in the most interesting ways to make their makeup stand out. Stars have pops of neon pink blush, rosy eyelids, and pale pink lips. Keep reading to see the best uses of pink at tonight's Met Gala.
