You’re not wrong for thinking you look even cuter in pink-tinted glasses. Whether you love the way they give you the effect of blush without makeup or filter blue light, pink tint sunglasses are a cute classic look.


Pink tinted prescription sunglasses might help improve your mood. You know the expression “looking at the world through rose colored glasses?” That means that you see things in a positive way or are always happy. While that expression became popular in the mid-1800s, it still holds true today. There’s something about looking at the world through pink tinted lenses that seem to put people in a better mood. Incidentally, here’s a fun fact. Some people think the idea of rose colored glasses making you happier refers to red or rose wine. But let’s stick to the eyeglasses for now.

Pink tinted sunglasses always look great, but they’re red hot (pink hot?) right now. The live action Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling has hit theaters. And with everything Barbiecore and Barbie being red-hot (pink-hot?) right now, pink is definitely having a moment. And in case you’re wondering, pink tinted can be found on men’s glasses too!

Pink tinted glasses could protect you from harmful UV rays. If you’re planning on spending a lot of time in the sun, you might want to treat yourself to a pair of pink tinted glasses. Not only will they look cute, but they might also protect your eyes and the delicate area around your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays that can damage your retinas or cause wrinkles.

Celebs love pink tinted glasses. We’re always on the lookout for the cool trends on famous faces and have noticed that pink tinted lenses are a celebrity favorite.  We peeped at Hailey Bieber in trend-friendly glasses with a coral-pink tint, while Rihanna has been spotted in glasses with pink lenses in different sizes and shapes. We love the way pink tinted sunglasses flatter every skin tone!

Pink tinted glasses can help protect your eyes from blue light and help prevent eye fatigue. We promise not to lecture you about staring at all your screens for too long. But we will remind you that staring at your screens for hours means you’re potentially exposing your eyes to the harmful blue light from your TV, tablet, and phone (read more about blue light here). Glasses with pink tinted lenses can help filter out all that blue light. They’ll also help you look and feel less fatigued.
