If we learned anything from our favorite stars’ 2026 Oscars<\/a> makeup, it’s that ballet slipper lips<\/a> are here to stay. This soft, nostalgic look evokes the look of pink satin\u2014and it couldn’t be easier to try out for yourself. Looking for a way to freshen up your lip combo for spring? Red carpet-worthy inspo, right this way.<\/p>\n

The Academy Awards<\/a> marks the end of awards season\u2014and, for many, a true transition point from winter to spring<\/a>. This year, attendees are embracing pastel tones in both in fashion and makeup choices. While we’ve seen plenty of muted makeup trends like cloud lips<\/a> on earlier red carpets, the \u2018ballet slipper\u2019 look keeps the soft-focus effect while adding a bit of playfulness. It usually involves a cool-toned pink base and a frosted finish (a nod to the trend’s early aughts<\/a> roots).<\/p>\n

As these Oscars makeup looks prove, there are plenty of ways to modernize ballet slipper lips for 2026.
