I’m so happy to see this gorgeous vibrant dusty mauve-y fuchsia meets lilacs shade as the new Color of the Year; it’s so perfect for just about any season!  Even though I’m not crazy about using it as an eye shadow or an eyeliner, both of which we are undoubtedly going to see a lot of in the upcoming months, I can’t wait to sport it on my lips, cheeks, nails and maybe even pick up some clothes and accessories to go along with the trend.

So, without further ado, meet Radiant Orchid!

“Sephora + Pantone reveal the highly anticipated Color of the Year. This just in: the Sephora + Pantone Universe Color of the Year 2014 is Radiant Orchid, a versatile flush for eyes, lips, cheeks, and nails. This universal shade is inimitable in its ability to complement all complexions. How ever you wish to wear itโ€”from saturated to sheerโ€”Radiant Orchid will delight. Coming Spring 2014.”

Here are some gorgeous products to get you started:

  • Obsessive Complulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Hoochie
  • NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Never Say Never

    AW YEAH! I love this color! I don’t really like greens, so Emerald didn’t do much for me. But this…this is prettyful!

    I’ve never worn a color like this, but I know I’ll wear a nail polish in this shade! So Pretty!!

      Nail polishes are probably going to be the most wearable products in this color ๐Ÿ™‚ Oh, and blushes, of course!

    RE: nail colours, Illamasqua’s Velocity is much closer to Radiant Orchid than Grab.

    I had a sneaking suspicion they were going to do some shade of purple this time around. I’m definitely excited to see this color for lips and nails!

      Nice guess! I was actually thinking about some sort of a lilac color, or maybe even rose gold-inspired shade, but it’s nice to see a pink for a change ๐Ÿ™‚

    I love this color palette.
