Ever since Pantone announced their decision on the new 2014 Color of the Year: Radiant Orchid, I can't stop noticing violet purple everywhere! From interior decor, to commercials, to magazines, to fashion and beauty products, to even food. I wouldn't usually wear this bright violet color in clothing or even makeup but I feel that 'Radiant Orchid' will be an exciting iconic theme for the new 2014 year.
It's a vividly blooming color that brings out confidence and charm. Related colors range between light lilac and lavender softness, to medium pink violets, and to deep plums and burgundy. Being a purple shade with both cool and warm undertones, this color is expected to last brilliantly throughout the changing seasons in the year, and most importantly, is still flattering for all hair, eye, and skin tones.
Here's a linked list on popular 'Radiant Orchid' makeup and beauty products to try!
