Is ranking really essential when every item from the collaboration between Patrick Ta and Mattel’s Barbie can be regarded as essential additions to any makeup collection?
While there is an abundance of pink blushes and lip plumpers available, the allure of this particular pairing has made it a must-have in countless Sephora carts since its debut. Ultimately, the decision on ranking hinges on individual taste, so here’s our take!
2. Major Headlines Double-Take Creme & Powder Blush Duo
Though there was immense excitement surrounding this collaboration, some followers of Patrick Ta have noted that the Barbie-themed blush palette bears a resemblance to a previous holiday blush collection from the brand. That earlier Major Holiday Palette featured a mixture of four vibrant pink blush options along with four sparkling shadow choices. Notably, the two vivid pink blushes from that palette closely resemble the newer hot pink shades inspired by Barbie. The earlier blush colors featured a cooler undertone. Beyond that, distinguishing the shades may be somewhat tricky.
The shade “She’s a Barbie Doll” is characterized as a warm blush duo—think of a sun-kissed Barbie with her vibrant pink complexion. However, this shade can still complement cooler skin tones since the blush allows for buildable application. A light touch can provide a fresh glow to your cheeks, just in time for the cooler winter months.
1. Major Volume Plumping Gloss
The “Malibu Dreamhouse” lip plumper might have fared better as a glittery lip gloss. After all, it’s challenging to separate Barbie from the iconic shiny pink lips she sports. Nevertheless, this lip plumper encapsulates the essence of Barbie, featuring a lively, bright pink housed in a chic design. It’s elegantly understated, making it an ideal choice for daily wear.
