In the dazzling world of the Barbie Movie, directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie as endearing Barbie and Ryan Gosling as the hilarious Ken, we must not forget to pay tribute to the brilliant artists who brought these iconic characters to life. Ivana Primorac, the creative force leading the movie's hair and makeup teams, created Margot's Barbie pink makeup look that appeared fresh and modern. The 'Barbie' costume designer Jacqueline Durran played an equally crucial role in fuelling the 'Barbiecore' fashion trend with the iconic Barbie looks featured in the film. Hello Barbiecore summer of 2023 — everywhere you looked, it was all about PINK!

Among the film's many breathtaking fashion moments, the iconic pink gingham dress stole the hearts of fans. However, one look, in my opinion, outshone the rest — the unforgettable roller skate Barbie ensemble!

When paparazzi pictures of the cast filming at Venice Beach surfaced, featuring neon outfits reminiscent of '90s roller skate Barbie, I was inspired to create the entire costume for Halloween, complete with a makeup transformation that is not only faithful to the film but also entirely wearable.

In this blog post, I'll be your guide to recreate Margot Robbie's exquisite pink Barbie makeup look, drawing inspiration from the movie and using my cherished Barbie collaboration products. Additionally, we'll delve into the art of crafting your eye-catching roller skate Barbie costume. So, come on, Barbies — let's get glam!

Get The Glamorous Barbie Makeup Look

Preparation

Before we begin, make sure your skin is hydrated. This collaboration isn't available any longer, but the product itself is still on shelves! The Glamglow Glowstarter Mega Illuminating Moisturizer leaves a super radiant, Barbie-doll base. If you're looking for plump lips, the Lawless Forget the Filler Overnight Lip Plumping Mask is a must-try and a top recommendation I give to beauty lovers!

Foundation

Opt for a lightweight foundation perfect for summer. I recommend the Beautiful Skin Foundation from Charlotte Tilbury or the L'Oréal True Match Hyaluronic Tinted Serum. Both fabulous picks depending on your budget.

Contour and Bronzer

I achieve Margot's signature look with some subtle contouring and cream bronzer, creating more structure to my face. I'd recommend enhancing your natural features rather than going against them — especially if you are wearing this look out in daylight. Less is more!

Powder and Blush

Set your makeup with your favorite powder to maintain a matte yet natural finish. My holy-grail powder is from Florasis, a Chinese beauty brand. You can find them on Amazon and their powders never look too cakey or powdery, yet set and softly magnify. Margot's rosy cheeks can be replicated using the Pur Malibu Barbie Blush Set or Benefit's Boxo Powders.

Brows

Keep your brows soft and natural like Margot Robbie's Barbie. Lawless Shape Up Soft Fill Brow Pencil is great, but you can always go drugstore with Winkylux or L'Oréal Paris.

Eyeshadow and Eyeliner

For the eyes, we are going to go with subtle pops of pink, shimmer and definition. This is a perfect time to use shades from the Colorpop Malibu Barbie Collab (still my favorite collection) or you can always use blush in the crease to cut down on products.

If you are a fan of cute makeup with a beach aesthetic, Flower Knows Beauty also has an adorable palette I featured in the tutorial. The seashells scream Malibu.

Lashes

Time for a Barbie collab product I use daily — the Revlon × Barbie Lash Curler! After a curl, swipe a coat of your favorite mascara.

Highlighter

Add shine to your nose, cheeks, and chin for that Barbie skin glow. The Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand in Spotlight remains a favorite, but now many drugstore brands have recreated the iconic product. Flower Beauty also has a fabulous wand in various shades.

Line and fill your lips with the Colourpop Lip Liner in Grunge — this shade is deeper than the brighter pink lipstick we will use. It'll give nice dimension to the lips, creating a fuller shape. Keep the cupid's bow in a strong V like Barbie. Top it off with a bright pink shade like Leader from Hourglass. I filmed this video prior to the movie release, but check out NYX's makeup collab with Barbie for more pink lip combos!
