Great Beauty: Tickled Pink

It's high summer, and truth be told, we're starting to wilt a little under the heat. Nothing like a pop of pink makeup to brighten us up! Whether it's lipgloss, blush, a wash of sheer shadow, makeup in pink hues always adds a hint of radiance and youthfulness to any look. From Kelly Rowland to Tika Sumpter, here are our favorite celebs rocking rosy hues -- plus makeup selections so you can get this lovely look at home!
