11 Beauty Products That Embody Pantone’s Colour(s) of the Year 2016

Pantone’s announcement of their Colour of the Year is a highly anticipated one. This year, however, their announcement was also rather special. In a surprise move, Pantone declared not one, but two colours as their Colour of the Year for 2016: Rose Quartz and Serenity.

A dramatically different set of shades from 2015’s color, Marsala, we are getting ready to see 2016 through rose (and baby blue)- tinted glasses.

Here is a list of makeup products to set your new year off on the right shade!
