Pantone Colour of the Year for 2014:Radiant Orchid Part 1 Makeup

Dear Readers,

I know it is already April but  as I have just recently started blogging again I had to do a colour of the year post. As most of you already know the creative movers and shakers of the colour industry come together ever year at a clandestine meeting in European capital every year to choose what shall be the colour of the year.. This year they have chosen one of my favourite colours..radiant orchid as can be seen above.

The colour of the year will be seen in clothing, accessories also in in furnishings, and interior decor items, make up and in the print in industry.

You can incorporate this gorgeous colour into your life, see how below:

Luscious lipstick shades in radiant orchid can be found to suit all skin tones and budgets as compiled by the lovely lady at lipstick dupe, I personally love Lancome Violette Coquette and YSL's Fuschia in Rage both suit Asian and Arab skin tones particularly well.
