Pink–the girly girl’s favorite color, a universally flattering makeup shade, and the color synonymous with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCA). While everything in October seems to get doused in Pepto pink, this month you can show your support by simply going pink with your beauty routine. Try taking a page from our favorite celebrity darlings, Kelly Rowland, Tamar Braxton, Christina Milian and others, and snag their pink makeup looks with these BCA beauty picks.
