Beauty fans around the world rejoiced over the recent release of Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2019. Living Coral is the perfect shade to add to both your makeup palettes and wardrobe. Living Coral is a bold shade that is described by Pantone as being “an animating and life-affirming coral hue.” Unlike last year’s Ultra Violet color, Living Coral is meant to represent a happier, upbeat style.
Living Coral Makeup Trends
The good news about Living Coral is that the shade has a limitless number of applications. Coral makeup looks beautiful when applied to the eyes and lips. Using cream eye shadow in coral and high gloss coral lipsticks look particularly eye-catching. Matte fans don’t need to worry since coral matte lipsticks are long-lasting and will give you a simple stunning look.
In Eastern countries, coral blush is having a moment. When a coral blush is applied, the shade warms up the complexion and neutralizes the skin’s natural undertones. Coral nails have been on trend since the summer months and will continue to remain popular through 2019. Pantone has even partnered with the Butter London brand to produce Living Coral nail lacquer. The pinkish orange hue flatters any skin tone from fair to dark and will give off a radiant appearance. Because of this feature, coral pink highlighters from Smashbox, Estee Lauder and Laura Mercier will be flying off shelves in the coming months.
Living Coral Fashion Inspiration
While Living Coral makeup applications can be as subtle or as bold as you desire, Living Coral incorporated into the fashion industry will be focused on making a statement. The pink overtones and gold undertones found in Living Coral are intended to make clothing have a dynamic appearance. Although the coral hue is perfect for summer fashion—including spaghetti strap dresses, Capri pants, and mini dresses—the color will also be a popular choice for vintage-style trench coats, high-waisted suits and crochet dresses.
