I really like the Purple Pick and all it's variations too

However, and I'm not trying to say one way or the other.But, I've been reading and watching a lot of Sound-Bites about the color, "White"... Seems, from what I've gathered, that we will be seeing a lot of it on the eyes very soon. And as for the Summer time, Blues for eyes. And I look hideous in Blue, no matter what shade or how I do. But, I know that Anything "Retro" is "In", for the moment. And I'm old enough to know about the late 1960's and 70's Blue shadow's on many. -What do you all think?

I love blue es .. and I am not "supposed" to wear it cause of my age..

but I do! I use white chromaline (MAC) as a base and then an old Clarins es which is a light periwinkle and get a nice effect.

I have also been wearing a LOT of white es -- with minimal contouring and red/orange lips.

here's me xmas day.. err, this was taken at 4 am..lol

HG! I finally got to see your pic! You are hot!

I wear blue eyeshadows, but don't wear them as much now but I love them. I have dark hair and eyes so I can pull them off more easily. I want to wear white but I probably need cream instead of powder since white powder eyeshadow are more like highlighters and don't show up much.

Miss QQ

you are too kind..

the best white creams I know of are the MAC Chromaline in white, or the Shu Uemura cream es in white also --

white es can be tricky as many times they are quite chalky (MaC Gesso). My personal fave is White lies from Jordana!

I saw this in a magazine. I Love this color in clothing. I have a few dresses this color and everyone compliments how it looks against my skintone. But idk how i feel about this color for lipstick and shadows. I prefer different shdes of purple to this one when it comes to makeup

 

[Gorgeous40]

Love it!!!

 

[sheROCKS]

I really love how Sephora got Pantone into makeup world - or made it more popular! Combining my loves, Graphic Design + Makeup together. LOVE IT! I can't wait for more of this Radiant Orchid color!

Did anyone here get that pantone lipstick from Sephora before it sold out?

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'm excited to see the themed sets Sephora will come out with for this color

inglot lipstick 149 is a amazing orchid and so is 148. If u look on Beautylish.com the editorial section they have the lipstick reviews and theres one for purple pink lipsticks good article and swatches

 

[indiekicks]

Loves it. I have a lot of purple lip colors of all shades, and don't NEED anymore but... maybe a few more won't hurt!

This is what I think of when I think of radiant orchid:




I would definitely love to sport this on my lips, but probably not on my cheeks.

Since I'm a huge fan of Estee Lauder lipsticks, I might try Pure Color Vivid Shine in Violet Electra (third one):




I would like something even more opaque than that, but the color matches the flower in my mind perfectly!
