If you don’t already know, Pantone’s 2015 colour of the year is Marsala (yes, named after the fortified wine), and we love it.
Compared to colours from the past three years – Radiant Orchid, Emerald and Tangerine Tango – this shade is so much easier to wear, especially on warm skin tones. Swipe it under the cheekbones for a subtle contour, over the lips for a beautiful red-brown tint, or over the eyes as a single-coloured smoky eye at night.
Pantone recommends you pair Marsala with peachy pinks, antiqued gold metallics or overlay bronze for a dramatic look.
Can’t wait to try the colour? We’ve picked out 19 beauty products for you. Have fun!
