I always look forward to learning about the official color of the year, as per Pantone. This time, I love their choice because I think it's about time that we recognize the serenity, beauty, and magic of the color Violet. I also got inspired to scour my stash for the top beauty products inspired by this year's official color.

Violet is part of my top 5 favorite colors along with Blue, Black, Pink, and White. I've always found this color soothing, mysterious, magical, ethereal; it indeed reminds me of galaxies, space, stars, and dreams beyond this earth.
And here are some makeup products to put your makeup stash on trend and for an Ultra Violet- inspired beauty.
HAPPY SKIN X SANRIO LITTLE TWIN STARS AIR TOUCH SPONGE
Two mini blending sponges in blue and purple. These are meant to blend cream products for contour, highlight, and blush.

ReplyDeleteThis year's Pantone color is honestly hard to pull off in my opinion. I've always had a hard time wearing purple/violet makeup, clothing, etc. Good thing you're helping us out with the color starting with this post. Thank you so much, Ms. Martha! Big help!

ReplyDeleteang ganda tingnan at lamig sa paningin kapag ngsasama ang mga violet items, yay! bag lang ang meron ako this year na violet, nails and dress. Looks cool naman pg makeups and other pampaganda😍
ReplyDeleteAside from red, pink and black, i also like violet! In fact, i got too excited that i reposted on IG the announcement post that it's Pantone's color of the year. I have the Tony Moly red wine mask and i'll be using it tonight. I was supposed to use it last Friday but i was feeling lethargic because of stomach flu so tonight, i'll try it! I'm currently loving Creamsilk violet. It helps relieve itchy scalp and control flakes and at the same time, it gives me soft and manageable hair.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, purple eye makeup seems so hard to perfect.
Oh how I missed the Rose Gold hahaha, not really a fan of violet and I remember myself getting nauseous using this color when I was a kid LOL. But then when I was in high school I have a phased when I really love that color.
ReplyDeleteCream silk Dandruff-free conditioner really smells good so I'm gonna agree with that one.And also yeay for Ever Bilena liquid lipstick, color pay-off is really amazing and is very budget-friendly.
ReplyDeleteThis is much wearable shade than greenery (though it is perfect accent for homes)...I'm planning to sport a aultraviolrt hair this year.
ReplyDeleteI lurve this year's pantone. I have yet to check out my beauty stash for the ultraviolet themed packaging. I think i will start collecting now. :)
