Pantone announced the color of the year — Marsala — to mixed reviews. A far cry from last year’s happy easter eggy, springtime-like Radiant Orchid, Marsala is a muted, earthy toned shade that resembles mulled wine. Also unlike some of Pantone’s previous choices, such as Emerald Green and Tangerine Tango, Marsala is very wearable and uber flattering.
Check out our 6 Marsala-inspired beauty picks.
Nars Blush in Outlaw ($30) is a muted rosy shade that contours cheekbones and jawlines brilliantly.
Elizabeth Arden’s Beautiful Color Moisturizing Lipstick in Iced Coffee ($25) and Beautiful Color Eye Shadow in Spice ($18.50). These flattering shades work for all or most skin tones and will give you an on trend Marsala makeup.
