Why are we so drawn to pink? It might be the Barbie effect but there’s some science at work here, too. Makeup icon Charlotte Tilbury’s bestselling Flawless Filter and Pillow Talk range is inspired by the pink-toned lighting used in Hollywood – designed to make everything and everyone look prettier. Plus, in terms of colour psychology, pink has long been associated with love, optimism, affection and vitality.
