Pantone's 2014 Colour of the Year... RADIANT ORCHID

[katred]

The last few years, it seems that the Pantone colour of the year has been getting more attention (if only from Sephora with their themed sets), so what do we think of this year's selection "Radiant Orchid":

Is this a colour you'll be rocking in 2014 (and beyond)? Do you already have shades in your stash that are close to Radiant Orchid?

Personally, I'm happy to see a purple selected. It's certainly a shade that has potential in makeup, more so than last year's Emerald Green (which never really translated into blush for some reason).

I love that the 2014 pantone colour is purple! I am definitely looking forward to seeing more of this colour. I'll have to check my stash to see if I have a purple close to this shade.

It's a nice colour, but I don't think I would wear it other than as a blush. Also fashion wise I can't see myself wearing it. I think it's just too girly for me personally. I really liked the emerald this year though, never thought I would but it grew on me.

Love the colour for makeup! I have a few purples, mostly lippies and I think they look gorgeous as blushes too when applied lightly. This sort of bold, cool-tone, purples only got my attention this year when I started following the Korean makeup style. They look stunning against pale complexion, but I think they work on medium and dark complexion too. I'll be searching my stash to see if I have this exact shade.

For me personally it's not a shade that suits me nor moves me in cosmetics or fashion. I'd prefer a deeper purple.

I can't wait, I love purple color =) In makeup I wear it only as eyeshadows though, I just can't get myself to try purple blush or lipstick! lol

2014 is going to be all purple eyeshadows, lipsticks, and berry blushes! I love this!

 

[Bcteagirl]

Yay!! I want to see the purple nail polishes

I am predicting the "All About Purple" really does happen this year from MAC!!

I think Radiant Orchid is beautiful! Saw the Sephora post on their tumblr about it and I already know that lipstick is coming home with me. Well, maybe. -hops over to low-buy thread-

It honestly wouldn't surprise me. Like orange, it's perceived as a bit of an edgy choice, but it has hardcore devotees as well.

This is how my low-buys normally end... "Hey, when I said I was on a low-buy, I wasn't thinking that companies would launch things I wanted!"
