When hunting for the sweetest baby pink lipstick, don't forget about the finish. The finish can completely alter the effect, which means you can feel less guilty for buying another millennial pink lipstick if it's in a different finish. This frost option is a fun change compared to the usual satin and matte finishes. It has a pearly, semi-lustrous look that will appeal to all shimmer addicts. Get it now and in a few years you'll be glad you were an early adopter of frost lippies after everyone else catches up.

Winky Lux Matte Lip Velour in Sweet Pea, $14
This lipstick is described as a modern baby pink and we definitely agree with that description considering it's a dead ringer for millennial pink. The formula has suspended pigments for a multidimensional, velour effect. Unlike some matte lippies, it's not heavy. It has a mousse-like finish and is made without gluten and parabens. It also comes in an Instagrammable metallic pill-inspired package.
