20 Beauty Products In Pantone’s 2019 ‘Living Coral’ Colour Of The Year To Look Huat For CNY

Beauty Items In Pantone’s ‘Living Coral’

It’s official: ‘Living Coral’ is Pantone’s 2019 Colour of the Year. The colour institute describes the shade as “an animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energizes and enlivens with a softer edge.”

 

With the Christmas celebrations in full swing, the vivid orange-pink shade sounds like what we need to revive our sullen, hungover complexions. In fact, this auspicious colour is ideal for Chinese New Year too.

If you’d like to swipe on a vibrant swathe of orange, here are 20 beauty products you can add to your beauty arsenal.

For your lips

If a berry lip is too vampy for daytime and a classic red is getting stale, consider a coral hue. The shade flatters most skin tones and brightens dull complexions. And thanks to our perpetual summer, a bright orange-pink lip never looks out of place.

Go sheer with a tinted balm and gloss, or bold with a striking full coverage lipstick.

A coral-toned blush warms up your complexion to give you a youthful, sun-kissed glow. Apply these to your cheeks with a light hand, and build the colour on after. You can also dab the cream formulas on your eyes and lips for a balanced, monochromatic look.

This vivid shade puts a feminine spin on the black smokey eye. It’s saturated but still soft and romantic.

These eyeshadows come in burnt oranges and dusty pinks, so layer the shimmers over the matte finishes for a sultry look. You can also add a touch of gloss over your lids to switch up your makeup.

How To Wear ‘Living Coral’ Coloured Makeup

A vibrant, coral shade is the highlight of your look, so pair your makeup with an outfit that’s a little more muted in comparison. All black ensembles allow the colour to pop, and gold accessories help accentuate the golden undertones in ‘Living Coral’.
