Last week’s Golden Globes proved the pink eye makeup trend is sticking around for 2020. Celebs even took it one step further with full millennial pink monochrome looks. Well, last night’s Critics’ Choice Awards 2020 brought out the pink makeup again, showing the trend isn’t slowing down. Whether a light wash of pale pink or a bright neon eyeliner, actors slayed their pink eye looks.
What’s so awesome about the pink eye makeup trend is how versatile it is. It works on everyone, regardless of skin type, tone or age. There are infinite shades of pink to play with depending on your comfort level or what complements your skin best. Though we love an ultra-contrasting hue of light pink on deep skin and dark mauve on paler skin, TBH. Stars showed up to the Critics’ Choice Awards really playing around with pink hues from both drugstore and luxe brands. Steal some of our favorite celebrity looks, below.

Leave it to Ronan to completely nail the monochromatic makeup look. MUA Kara Yoshimoto Bua used Chanel Les 4 Ombres Multi-Effect Quadra Eyeshadow in Warm Memories ($62 At Nordstrom) and Ombre Premiere Laque Liquid Eyeshadow In Quartz Rose 26 for the flush of pink on her eyes.

Zendaya
The triple-threat is always experimenting with her beauty look and we have to say, this is one of our favorites yet. Though her pink eyeshadow, lipstick, and chest plate don’t match perfectly, they complement each other in the best way possible.
