Pantone, the global authority on color, announced its Color of the Year for 2014 to be “Radiant Orchid.” Pantone describes it as a color that “blooms with confidence and magical warmth that intrigues the eye and sparks the imagination. It is an expressive, creative and embracing purple—one that draws you in with its beguiling charm. A captivating harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid emanates great joy, love and health.”
It is absolutely beautiful! I’ve been wearing a lot of purple lately. Today was one of those days. So, I decided to honor the Color of the Year by doing orchid-inspired makeup.
Steps:
- Light beige base color
- Radiant orchid eyeshadow shade in crease
- Highly pigmented light blue in the inner corner (blended out)
- Regular application of eyeliner and mascara
I used Urban Decay’s Feminine Palette, Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow Box, and Marc Jacob’s eyeshadow palette in Tease.
On my lips, I muted out a hot pink lipstick by blotting the color with a tissue.
