A Red Touch Is All It Takes to Elevate Your Look @leletny / @ninapark

As someone who’s very into all things minimalism—I stick to my simple skincare routine , 10-minute everyday makeup , and neutral wardrobe—I don’t usually gravitate toward anything too bold in my beauty regimen. But every once in a while, it’s nice to switch it up, and lately that means adding a subtle pop of red into my look.

The color is having a moment right now, especially when it comes to beauty products and accessories. It's one of the easiest ways to make a simple, pared-back look feel completely elevated. A classic red lip can instantly pull any glam together, while a cherry-toned claw clip can make even the most basic updo feel chic with no effort. Truly, one red detail can transform your entire look, which is why I rounded up the best red beauty products and accessories to try right now.

Hair Pin in Red

If you hate having your hair in your face (me at all times) a French pin is such an easy way to hold your hair back. Not to mention, it's the ultimate cool-girl accessory right now, especially in this glossy deep red.

Soft Pinch Liquid Blush

A flushed cheek moment, courtesy of a red blush, is the perfect way to bring some color to your face. A touch of rosy or cherry liquid blush, blended into the skin for a sunkissed effect, creates a fresh and natural glow that works with any makeup look.

Powder Blush

And if you really want to make a statement, a pigmented powder blush will make your cheeks pop. I even love contouring my forehead and the tip of my nose for an all over tinted effect.
