Call it the summer of Barbie, with Barbiecore reigning supreme everywhere from TikTok to the red carpet. And as Brides reported earlier this spring, Barbiecore weddings are having a moment, with nods to bold pinks in everything from dresses to décor. When it comes to Barbiecore bridal makeup, multiple shades of pink, ranging from bubble-gum to hot pink define the look, which is offset by an onyx eye with defined lashes. We love this look, if not for the big day, (although, plenty of brides are going Barbiecore, like this creator on TikTok) for your bachelorette party. Bachelorette Barbie? We are here for it.

Pink has been in the fashion zeitgeist ever since Valentino's Pink PP Collection by Pierpaolo Piccioli for Fall/Winter 2023. In early 2023, when Pantone announced Viva Magenta as the color of the year, we bid farewell to the blush and Millennial pink hues that had been popular over the past five years. Fast-forward to the release of Greta Gerwig's Barbie film, which opens in theaters on July 21, and stars Margot Robie in the titular role, and we're ready to embrace a new era of pink.

While soft pinks, berries, and mauves have long been hallmarks of bridal makeup, Barbiecore adds fuschia, magenta, and bubble-gum pink to the color palette. This look is empowered, festive, and fun—and makes for a gorgeous bachelorette night makeup look. Ahead, we rounded up all the best Barbiecore bridal makeup products from iconic pink blushes to luscious lip oils, sparkly highlighters, and dewy cheek stains.
