Pretty in Radiant Orchid: 2014 Pantone Color of the Year

03/13/2014 by Carolyn Anger

Radiant Orchid

Finally, a color we can get behind: Radiant Orchid is named Pantone Color of the Year 2014.

A departure from jewel tones of years past, 2014 is all about the bold and the beautiful orchid. Not far off from our signature Spa Girl shade, we couldn’t be more excited. Anointed by Pantone Universe as the Pantone 2014 color of the year, radiant orchid wakes up your makeup palette with a punch of joyful inspiration. Out with the skin-tone-limiting emerald and tangerine tango of the past two years and in with a color that brightens any complexion. The purple-pink hue splashed with a hint of star power takes sophistication to a whole new level and outs our 80s nostalgia for bright colors, big hair and a whole lot of glam.

Here’s a pretty start.

Givenchy Rouge Interdit Lipstick in Opalescent Fuchsia
