Every year, Pantone chooses a color that reflects what is occurring in today’s global culture. Pantone aims to bring us all together with the hue of  Very Peri as its Color of the Year 2022. Very Peri has a distinct periwinkle blue shade with the slightest undertones of red and violet. According to Pantone, “Very Peri inspires creativity and opens up a new vision to rewrite our lives.” 

The year of 2022 is open to new beginnings and hope. Pantone states this is a new color, developed especially for these transformative times. This is the first time Pantone has created a unique color for its annual pick. Very Peri will symbolize growth and change. 

The New York Institute of Beauty has some insider tips on incorporating Very Peri into creating unique makeup looks. Very Peri resembles periwinkle, violet, lilac, and some soft pastel shades of pink. How Will Very Peri Revolutionize Beauty? 

Pantone predicts you will see this dramatic color as matte or glittery eyes, nails, and hair. It will provide elegant finishes with a futuristic appeal. Very Peri offers a warm vibe that suits a culture living in the throes of a life-changing pandemic. 

Focus on the Eyes

You can make the most out of the shade by adding a gloss effect, shimmer, or glitter to any eye look. A little drop shadow on the lower lid with a darker complementing color such as deep taupe, will really make the eyes stand out. You can also skip the shadow and focus exclusively on mascara and eyeliner. Urban Decay Liner in Raw Energy is sure to give you that pop of color. 

Bold Lips

Very Peri in a Matte or glossy lipstick will look striking. Gucci Rouges à Lèvres Mat Lipstick in Jenny Purple is a great option. However, if you are not into bold lips, you could go more subtle with lip gloss in the hue.

Are you ready to get creative? Be bold. Be daring. Be you. Create makeup looks that will truly turn heads and put a smile on your face every time you look in the mirror.
