Since Barbie is celebrating her 50th birthday this month, I just have to blog about the beauty icon! Read on to learn how you can pull a Barbie look!


* Think PINK – lots and lots of it. Afterall, pink IS the epitome of the “girly girl”, just like Barbie.

* Big doll eyes. This can be achieved by using light shimmery eyeshadows on the eyes, eyeliner on top and thick lashes. Rimming your lower lash line with a white or flesh-colored pencil will help make your eyes appear wider as well. For an extra pop, try a pair of circle lenses.

* Sweet pink cheeks. Swirl a medium pink blush like MAC Pink Swoon onto the apples/cheekbones with a big blush brush in a buffing motion so it really blends into your skin.

* Luscious pink lips. Remember to exfoliate your lips with an old toothbrush and apply a generous layer of lip balm before you apply any lip color.

* A confident attitude. We all know confidence = sexy.

My Take



What I Used

* Estee Lauder Nutritious Vita-Mineral Liquid SPF 10 Makeup in Intensity 2.0
* MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer in NC30 under eyes
* Anastasia Highlighting Eyebrow Kit to fill in eyebrows
* MAC Pink Freeze eyeshadow on entire eyelid
* Medium Pink eyeshadow from Sleek I-Divine Palette in Original on outer corner
* NARS Ashes to Ashes Eyeshadow lightly on crease
* NARS All About Eve Duo Eyeshadow under browbone
* Benefit Bad Gal Liquid Liner in Black to line on top
* Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Pencil in Pure White on lower waterline
* Taiwanese False Lashes on top and bottom
* MAC Mineralize Blush in Pleasantry along cheekbones
* Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Pink Champagne on lips with MAC Cremesheen Glass in Petite Indulgence on top

Remember to watch out for Barbie’s fashion show at the NY Fashion Week on 2/14 and a line of Barbie makeup and skincare products later this year!

  4. Karen says:

    Pink Freeze looks great on you… for some reason it looks totally wrong on me…

    The concealer looks really great on you as well… I probably should check it out…

  5. Nancy says:

    You look so gorgeous! This look is fun & playful…I might try it for Valentine’s Day because of all the pink :)

  6. Elle says:

    Wee. You’re super pretty!
    Sssh, but I wish I had your cleavage ^^

  7. Jacqueline says:

    You look sexier than Barbie hehe. :P

    This is THE pink lip color I’ve always wanted. Do you know if MAC has any dupes?

  8. Jenna says:

  9. Sam says:

  10. Lovely says:

    Hi Phyllis,

    Your makeup looks flawless as always! Can you tell me how you fill in your brow? Like what brush brand do you use?

  11. Cailin says:

    Fabulous! Great look, Phyllis.

  12. Tina says:

    love the look!!!!!!!!!!! where do you buy those eye lashes?

  13. Angela says:

    I think you should do more Barbie FOTDs!

    This one looks very cute!

  14. queenyee says:

    Love the look so much, so sexy especially the lip colour!

  15. Mimi says:

    hey doll,
    how do u like the MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer? is it all better than the select cover up and studio finish?
    and is the Studio Sculpt Concealer permanent?

    thanks

  16. Olivia says:

    This is one of my fav look from you, so pretty!!

  17. Phyllis says:

    Thanks ladies you guys are too kind =)

  18. Phyllis says:

    Tina,

    A friend of mine picked up those lashes from Taiwan for me and trust me, they are so much better than the American ones!

  19. Phyllis says:

    Mimi,

    I *love* the Studio Sculpt Concealer! It blends a lot better than the Studio Finish and the coverage is excellent. I do believe the concealer is permanent.

  20. skyle says:

    Um, Phyllis, you look GORGE. I don’t know what else to say. Pinks don’t work with all skin tones and sometimes too much of it will look tacky, but you completely pull it off. I love your pink eyeshadow and lipstick combo. I also have pleasantry in my collection, but since the lasting power isn’t so good, I’m putting it up for swap.

    I just bought studio scult concealer and it’s amazing as well.

    But I do have a question — I have Chanel’s Pro Lumiere in Claire 20, and it’s a perfect match for my skin. I also have studio sculpt concealer and foundation in NC20 + NC25, and that’s ALSO a perfect match for my skin. I know you’ve said you wear Chanel’s Pro Lumiere in Limpide? And you are NC30? It’s completely odd…are the shades off or does my face change colors? ;-)

  21. Karen says:

    Are those taiwanese lashes much better? I tried the coveted Princess Lee eyelashes and I feel nothing special about them. I still love my Ardells… lol

  22. Ms. Z says:

    Love it!

  23. Mimi says:

    thank you phyllis (=

    last question, the select cover up, i found it’s drying to conceal the acne…does the Studio Sculpt Concealer cover acne well? and drying?

  24. Phyllis says:

    Mimi,

    If you’re trying to cover up acne, a cream concealer would work better than a liquid. The Studio Sculpt Concealer covers everything and I don’t find it drying on my undereye area at all.

  25. anna says:

    hey girl..

    i was wondering do you have any swatches for the rimmel pink champagne itself ?

    if not..

    then is it frosty or ?

    .xoxo.

  26. Serena says:

    Omg your so pretty :)
    I dont know if it would offend you but I hope it dont. :S
    I was wondering if you ever got implants? Because your boobs are pretty big for an asian haha :)

  27. Phyllis says:

    Thanks Serena but those babies are natural (it runs in the family)

  28. Siyu says:

    hey i wanna buy ur false eyelash. Are u still selling them?

  29. isabel says:

    hey girl,

    nice makeup you really look like barbie can i borrow your fake eyelashes?

  30. Kristine says:

    I love the look. Especially the lips which were pink-my favorite color.

  31. Admirer says:

    Phyllis, you look so pretty, especially I like your eyes. I love them!

  32. Tia says:

    hmm yeah not Barbie enough… if you look at a photo of Barbie, her eyeshadow is a lot stronger with distinct lines!
