I see myself buying more of this color...   I know it was getting a lot of flak, one article was calling it menses blood color.   It will be fun to see what ppl come out with.  girl please, I look great in Marsala, and wine type colors...  it wasn't only made for fair skin...  
Amen! Always thought this color was MORE stunning on any deeper skin tones! Suffice to say, I love this color! Always drawn to it. Couldn't be more pleased

I definitely saw a lot of uncomplimentary things said about it. I think that people have gotten used to very clear, saturated colours in the last few years, whereas this one is muted relative to orchid, emerald and tangerine. Personally, I like variation, so I think it will be fun to see how this is interpreted. Honestly, I can't think of a colour that I categorically dislike in every situation. A lot depends on context. I'm not find of pastel shades, but used correctly, they give a wonderful sense of lightness and freshness.

I'm shocked by the vitriol over a color. If you don't like it, you don't have to wear it. Besides which, who made Pantone the 'Gods of color' anyway.

The 'color police'

are not coming to anyone's home because they don't like or purchase something Marsala. I'm open minded and purchased a few items that Sephora hinted as being
Marsala-appropriate, including a Guerlain KissKiss lipstick. I used this as an opportunity to finally try one!

This is starting to grow on me :sigh: At first, I was thinking "Oh no, Kylie Jenner" but it's actually not. It's more of a browny/ox blood color, at least from the Sephora picture. I think it would look gorgeous on everyone. I'm ready for the blushes to start rolling out!! :stars:
I am ready too! I actually like the color a lot!

When I first saw the swatch picture I was thinking, meh, so not my color. Then I saw the Sephora color ad and was much more intrigued, I could see a nice lipstick and blush for sure, even eyes. I think one of the more well-rounded color choices actually! Compared to the last couple years.

Ok Ok, I won't go dye my hair. But I might do a purple streak ;-)


I'm getting excited reading everyone's responses. Meddy, we definitely have to throw in a marsala week or two... I actually need another round of reds. LOL

Such a beautiful colour!
I dyed my hair like that when I was around 16 and I loved it. My natural hair is chestnut reddish-brown, so the change wasn't that drastic. I'd post pics if I could find them.

Am I the only one who now wants a pair of marsala coloured suede pumps?

Would look nice with a black dress.
And I need to check my stash for a marsala blush, or else I need one.

I think red week went super fast. I wasn't ready for it to end. We've agreed to a week for Marsala, but I don't mind two weeks if it's ok with everyone. I think it would be fun. I'm already preparing for it. I posted the link below in the Theme Makeup Thread. Sephora identified several products that could be 'MARSALA' appropriate.

I'm with you on the shoes. Booties or just normal heels. I think they'd be gorgeous!!

I picked up a few of the "Marsala Appropriate" items from Sephora's list. Two are old items and one new. I got NARS blush in Outlaw, YSL baby Doll Kiss & Blush in Nude Insolent 10, which is a
rosy tan, and actually darker than I thought it would be, and is quite nice, and Guerlain 'KissKiss' Shaping Cream Lip Color Air Kiss 30, which is a mid-tone burgundy lipstick.
