Finally, pinks have arrived. The fashion world has declared spring 2014 the season of pink, so now’s our chance to paint nails, lips, lids and cheeks any shade of this girliest of colors. Especially irresistible are the pale, pale pinks for lips, which harken back to the mod days of Mary Quant and go-go boots. And with warm weather finally here, why not go with just a blush of color and let the sun do the rest?
