I'm a Former Dancer—30 Balletcore Beauty Finds I'm Dreaming About

Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
I’m a former ballet dancer, so it’s safe to say I’m a little more than in love with the balletcore aesthetic. Baby pink is one of my favorite colors; satin ribbons, tulle skirts, and ballet flats are mainstays in my wardrobe; and my hair is in a bun 99% of the time. Naturally, my affinity for pretty things extends to my beauty routine as well. I’ve rounded up some gorgeous finds that embody balletcore to a T, many of which I’ve used to get dolled up for performances. Keep scrolling to see my balletcore beauty edit.
I’m on cloud nine thanks to this latest fragrance from Ariana Grande. It has the amber, praline, and vanilla orchid that I love in the original Cloud Eau de Parfum ($65), but it also has pink pineapple, dragon fruit, and berries.
