FYI: Pink Makeup Is Officially Trending at the Met Gala
As stars arrive at this year's Met Gala, beauty and fashion fans worldwide are glued to their screens. This year's theme is "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty" and the dress code du jour is "in honor of Karl." While anything goes in the beauty realm, we're beginning to detect an emerging trend.
